MY TALK: DIVING OFF THE COVID RUST–
Starting to dive and socialize again requires the travel “F” word — being FLEXIBLE! After years of traumas and challenges on the COVID coaster, you or your dive group might need to remember how to be courageous and step back out into the world. Get back underwater — learn the tips and tricks I’ve perfected from my 30+ years reinventing myself. Find a buddy, follow your bubbles and never give up!
Simcha Kits are a beautifully curated line of holiday and Shabbat kits designed to make Jewish rituals more accessible, intentional and visually meaningful for families, children and even newborns.
Just as the flames of the Hannukah candles dance with courage, persistence, and defiance, our spirits desire and deserve the same attention and reigniting.
Eighty one years ago, while America was at war and millions of Jews were being slaughtered, the rabbi of the Washington Hebrew Congregation delivered a Hanukkah message that resonates to this day.
Whatever the future holds, we must remember, especially during Hanukkah, that miracles are part and parcel of our history—and will continue to be. We cannot let our sadness overwhelm us.
Eighty-one years ago, while America was at war and millions of Jews were being slaughtered, the rabbi of the Washington Hebrew Congregation delivered a Hanukkah message that resonates to this day.
Israelis expected the war would end when Hamas is eradicated. They now have to face a different reality. After two years of blood, sweat and many tears, the enemy is still out there, lurking in the dark, waiting to fight another day.
In this selection of essays, op-eds and speeches, the first piece written six months after his son’s murder, Pearl gives us words that are, yes, sometimes heartbreaking, but also funny, profound, scrappy, informative and strikingly prescient.
We can perhaps avoid fear, but we cannot avoid anxiety. However, we don’t need to get rid of it; we need to pass through it. But what’s on the other side?
It’s only through fully recognizing our individualism that we can be unified as a people. And it’s only through nourishing the soul that the bravery, nonconformity, and the true spirit and resilience of the Maccabees can be achieved.
