We believe that God puts a piece of Himself inside you.
That’s your soul.
That means when a person believes in God
They not only believe in a Creator
They believe in the deepest part of themselves.
So therefore, if you want to believe in God
Believe in yourself
And if you want to believe in yourself
Believe in God.
God fills the entirety of all existence.
In fact, reality is just a subset of God.
On the deepest level
this whole world
is a conversation
God is having with Himself.
And through our choices
We get to decide
How God Expresses Himself in the world.
When we laugh
God laughs
When we yell
God yells
When we stop ourselves from being strict
God does the very same
We work the controls.
How would you like to see God express Himself today?
Be that
And it will be.

A Diary Amidst Division and the Fight for Freedom

April 8, 2026

Emma’s diary represents testimony of an America, and an American Jewish community, torn asunder during America’s strenuous effort to manifest its founding ideal of the equality of all people who were created in the image of God.

More than Names

April 8, 2026

On Yom HaShoah, we speak of six million who were murdered. But I also remember the nine million who lived. Nine million Jews who got up every morning, took their children to school, and strove every day to survive, because they believed in life.

Gratitude

April 8, 2026

Gratitude is greatly emphasized in much of Jewish observance, from blessings before and after meals, the celebration of holidays such as Passover, a festival that celebrates liberation from slavery, and in the psalms.

Freedom’s Unfinished Journey

April 8, 2026

The seder table itself is a model of radical welcome: we are told explicitly to invite the stranger, to make room for those who ask questions and for those who do not yet know how to ask.

Thoughts on Security

April 8, 2026

For students at Jewish schools, armed guards, security gates, and ID checks are now woven into the rhythm of daily life.

Can Playgrounds Defeat Antisemitism?

April 8, 2026

The playground in Jerusalem didn’t stop antisemitism, and renovating playgrounds in New York City is not likely to stop it there, either — because antisemitism in America today is not rooted in a lack of slides or swings.
