Dear Members and Friends, For those of you who are grieving the outcome of the election, it won’t surprise me if you had difficulty getting around this morning or if it is taking you much longer to attend to tasks. This is the nature of grief. It was good to be with several dozen of […]

It is the most spiritually rich time for the Jewish faithful as they are called to reflect on where they have fallen short of their values and what relationships are in need of repair. I take these days to reflect […]
Dear Members and Friends, You likely are familiar with a version of this story. A boy shares with his grandfather his longing to fight those who have caused harm to his family and his desire to find another way, but doesn’t know how to proceed.
