Parents who so adeptly speak to their children about drug abuse, sexual consent, or gun violence, sometimes fail to find the words to speak about Israel. Even if we have the words, we often rely on stock phrases like, “Well, it’s complicated.” Yes, Israel is complicated, but that does not mean it’s incomprehensible to an adult or a child. What we must do is talk. We will start from what we feel or what we know, and then we will build. We will talk about what we yearn for, and then, perhaps, we will discover what we, as our bravest selves, would do. There are no short answers or fact-sheets to hand out that could answer all of our questions (but they could answer some, and I do have fact-sheets if you have a quick question); rather, there is only an evolving dialogue which brings us to greater depths (or heights) of understanding. Israel is an existential part of what it means to be Jewish in the 21st century, but it is not an either/or proposition. Whether we are speaking about … [Read more...]

Epilogue
"Maybe our paths will cross when this universe folds in and makes another. Maybe, at the point when all that is and all that's ever been, collapses into everything else and is remade, our paths will cross, however briefly, and our terminus become a junction. It may be a long shot. I will take it and hope and trust that our paths cross again." -Epilogue, by Oliver Tearle I recently came across this poem and, although it is few in words, it speaks volumes about journeys, relationships, and connections. Nine years ago, Moshe and I arrived in Atlanta, freshly married, and excited for the adventure ahead. What an adventure it has been. The most profound moments have been sharing Jewish connection with you, through music, through text, study, song, b'nai mitzvah, baby namings, funerals, weddings. Living the Jewish cycle of life and the Jewish calendar through you and with you has been a deep and humbling privilege. You have placed yourselves into my hands and my care. This; those moments we … [Read more...]

Take A Moment To Be Proud
At Temple Emanu-El, our Social Justice (Tikkun Olam) initiatives have become the life-blood of our synagogue community. Our sacred stories, again and again, point to the Jewish 'purpose for being'- that is, to work in partnership with God to heal our broken world. That is the Jewish mission for all time, and each Jewish generation is tasked to do their part. This includes me. This includes you. How? By making concerted efforts with our time, resources and intentions to help those in need. To help our neighbors who are hungry. To help very real people who are scared, and who are hurting. Clearly there is tremendous need. Our Social Justice committee at Temple Emanu-El does an amazing job at creating opportunities for each of us to roll up our proverbial sleeves and to do our part. They continue to work hard to bring you opportunities to do real good in our local community, at times that are convenient to you. This has become a priority at TE, and for many of our congregants, … [Read more...]
A Museum of the American Amalek
Every so often I’ll read something written by another rabbi that I very much want to share with our beloved Temple Emanu-El congregation. This week, Rabbi (Dr.) Lawrence Hoffman posted this on Facebook to a group of Rabbis, and it elicited a poignant and robust conversation. I love the way that he sets up the context for the conversation not just in current events and opinions, but through the long lens of Judaism. This is more lengthy than is typical for our Kesher Quick, but worth it. We will discuss it visa vi some Torah text in our 9am Shabbat morning Cevrei Torah Study (link)- please join us. Shabbat shalom! Open Letter to My Students 6: Jewish Wisdom About Monuments of Oppression Tradition and the Rule of Creepy Crawly Things How do we use Jewish tradition to help us navigate life’s challenges? Just like love, tradition is a many-splendored thing, but its wisdom comes liberally mixed with age-old prejudices, superstitious nonsense, and downright stupidity. Thirty years … [Read more...]
