Going Forward Together
As we approach the end of the annual cycle of Torah readings, we reflect on the names of the upcoming Parshiot, beginning with Nitzavim, which calls us to stand together as a unified people, like warriors preparing for battle. ...

Parsha Shoftim, Larry David and the World to Come
It happened again, that Jewish synchronicity convergence that follows me around. First I wandered around a Jewish cemetery, only to watch an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm in which Larry David wandered around a Jewish cemetery. The past week, similar...

Can You Take the 40 Day Plunge for the New You?
Winners Never Quit; Quitters Never Win The War is now in its eleventh month, and there seems to be no end in sight. And it’s exasperating to the say the least. We have come to learn—the hard way—that we cannot count...

At first I wanted to cry, now I want to scream

Notice, contain, and then reverse course
“I don’t like who I’m becoming” is a phrase I’ve been hearing a lot from people lately. Then they go on to clarify. “I’m finding myself becoming angrier. Or more distressed.” A day doesn’t go by without their newsfeeds...

A Certain Justice
There are rare and exceptional speakers whose words become timeless. Prophets have that quality too. Reviewing their quotes feels as if they are being said today, and everyday, giving expression to the values and ethics through which we make...
