From Tea Lattes to Talmud: Creating Spiritual Coziness Between Holidays

From Tea Lattes to Talmud: Creating Spiritual Coziness Between Holidays

November 18, 2019

As the warm weather recedes and is replaced by quintessential fall days, early sunsets and frosty mornings, many of us feel a sense of loss. We are already nostalgic for those long summer afternoons, the barbeque heating up and the sound of kids’ voices as they chase each other along the beach. American culture’s answer to this seasonal despondency is potatoes. A lot of potatoes, preferably served next to a lovely roast turkey and cranberry crumble. Comfort food, expressing gratitude, and getting cozy together as the winter approaches are wonderful antidotes to the sadness of saying goodbye to summer.

Deeper Beauty: Connecting to Intention Through Hiddur Mitzvah

Deeper Beauty: Connecting to Intention Through Hiddur Mitzvah

July 24, 2019

The Hebrew root of “I will glorify G-d” [anveihu] can be understood as either nah’eh, meaning “handsome” or “pleasing,” or nah’veh, meaning “dwelling place” or “home.” Looking at hiddur mitzvah through these lenses, we are invited to explore an alternate understanding than what we may think of as creating beauty: it calls on us to create a home for the Divine presence through our actions.

Connecting in the Digital Age: Jewish Unity in the Face of Extraordinary Diversity

Connecting in the Digital Age: Jewish Unity in the Face of Extraordinary Diversity

July 17, 2019

Today, the Jewish community faces a new challenge in that we are more blessedly diverse than ever before, but, as a result, the interests that might bind us can be less obvious than they once were.

April 16, 2019 1 Comment

The phrase “social justice” tends to awaken strong feelings in people because it evokes core beliefs, values and experiences.
