No Response at All

A rabbi\’s voice must often give expression to the feelings of those with whom he or she worships on Shabbat.

Tourist Trap

Summer is often a season of travel and vacation. Whether travel is a part of our plans for this summer, most of us have had the experience of being a tourist.

Remember the Good

Judaism\’s moral imagination describes that King Ahashuerus was not able to sleep because of all that was going on around him: Esther was involved with planning and preparing her next feast; Haman was busy building gallows; Mordecai was upset, praying and wearing sackcloth.

Giving Thanks

It\’s not only that this year Thanksgiving and Chanukah coincide, it\’s that the calendar makes us focus on the thanksgiving aspect of Chanukah\’s meaning.

Happiness Happens

Behind every meaningful practice stands its theory. This Shabbat we begin Sukkot, our eight-day festival of booths and thanksgiving during which we celebrate the wandering and journey of our ancestors from slavery to freedom.
