Moment in Time: What’s on Your Bucket List?

[additional-authors]
March 24, 2022

Dear all,

Last weekend I found myself perched above a bucket of cold water as members of the community attempted to “Dunk the Rabbi” during our Purim Carnival. Yes, people lined up to seize the opportunity! We all had a great time.

But as I sat there above the bucket, contemplating my fate, it dawned on me:

”What is on my bucket list?”

Where do I want to visit?
Who do I want to meet?
What adventure is calling my name?
What value do I want to uphold?
What organization should I support more generously?
And … When am I going to start crossing things off the “to do” list – and accomplish them?!

We each have our own bucket list. This is the moment in time to dive in!
