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...]

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...]
Rabbi Emeritus Scott Colbert
Connect What makes you so passionate about Judaism? When I was about seven or eight years old, my maternal grandmother came to live with us. She grew up in the Shtetl of Gomel in what today is Belarus. Coming home each day from school, my grandmother would share stories about her life in the Shtetl. From these stories, I gleaned a passion for the survival of the Jewish people. When I was ten years old, attending Hebrew School four days a week, I was inspired by my Cantor and by the Education Director of my childhood congregation. The holiness that entered my soul through sacred music and the love of a pioneer people for a new Jewish homeland resonated through me and enriched my very being. As an adult, I realize the texts of the Jewish people is my story. It is a story that I want to share with the world. Understanding that the Jewish people have a message to share with the entire world, that there is meaning to life and that God is at the center of everything. Sharing my life … [Read more...]
Blessing a Baby, Building a New Family
There is nothing in the world like singing to a baby. Many years ago, a friend of mine asked me to watch over her newborn as she put her older daughter to bed. This being one of my first experiences with a baby, I was not quite sure what to do. I did what I do best, I sang to him. “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star…” slowly his eyes riveted to mine. His body softened and then began to drop off. The thirty or so times I sang the song, he kept fighting to stay awake until sleep finally claimed him. As a cantor, I get to repeat this incredible moment each time I help families welcome their new babies into Judaism during their bris[1] or brit bat[2]. Every time a family welcomes a new baby, it is as if each member of that family becomes a new creation. Each mother, father, sister, brother, grandparent, family member is forever changed, woven deeply into the fabric of a new life forever. This is often the first Jewish lifecycle the family celebrates together in their life as a new unit. A … [Read more...]
