A Letter from the Rabbi – September 6, 2024

In memory of Vivian Silver, z”l
For me the holiday was never about the Temples themselves. It was always about communal grief. And there were times in Jewish history, from the Crusades to the Expulsion from Spain and to the holocaust, when Tisha B’Av spoke directly to our people’s grief and trauma.

Have you seen the horizon lately?
This question is actually the name of an Israeli organization for Jewish-Arab partnership, founded by Shir Nosatzki and supported by the New Israel Fund that is indeed called: “Have You Seen the Horizon Lately?”

Dear Friends,
I wanted to share with you a few words of Torah. But first, I wanted to invite you to join us for special prayers to free the hostages tonight at our Shabbat service at 5:30. We will be saying traditional prayers for the freeing of hostages, reading the names of those held captive, and studying a traditional text that teaches the utmost importance of the mitzvah of working to free those held captive.
The Rabbi appears in every other issue of Moment Magazine as the Reconstructionist Rabbi in their column “Ask the Rabbis.“
Here is a link to that column in the Winter 2023 issue, on the question:“What Jewish Wisdom Would You Offer Today’s Billionaires?”
A compilation of these columns is published in the Moment book: Can Robots be Jewish?
See this website for more information and to order the book.
