Walking the Land

Every week I go on two walks that I absolutely treasure. Each Sunday, my husband and I walk through a different section of Los Angeles. We have no destination, but our purpose is to exercise. We could choose other forms of exercise. We could be on a treadmill, moving in place without moving in space. Yet this is not as gratifying as walking outside. The walks along the beach or in the hills around the city create another dimension of being.

This Land Is Our Land

You cannot remove other people\’s anxieties, but sometimes you can help them to understand their feelings of unease and find ways to cope with them.

The Light of God

When we recognize the strengths, the potential, the gifts that others give to the world and us, we can see a glimpse of God in them.

Stand by Me

\”Rabbi, I\’m feeling off-center, unbalanced.\” \”I\’m depressed.\” \”I\’m anxious; not myself.\” \”There is an incredible amount of negative energy in the air.\” \”I don\’t want to read magazines; they are only filled with news of the war.\” \”I now regularly go online to check the news throughout the day. I feel a need to be aware of what is going on all the time since everything changes so quickly.\”

The Long and Winding Road

A young friend of mine switched career paths, giving up on an industry that she did not find fulfilling. She is now working in a field that she finds challenging, has potential for growth and gives her opportunities to contribute in ways that are important to her.
