Dear colleagues,
Having spent the weekend with our 10th graders at the L’taken Social Justice Seminar in Washington, I was overcome with emotion joining the Reform Rabbinate. As we are “Confronting the Future,” our children – our greatest treasures, are reshaping it. While we have a sacred duty to guide them, we also need to remember that we can learn from them.
I took lots of photos today, and I put them together to try to capture just a little of the breadth of our experience. (One photo is of our kids in DC – got to get the dramatic juxtaposition in there!)
I also have quite a few selfies. But the purpose is not self-serving. I think it’s important that we all take stock of just how many people have made a difference in our lives.
We have made each other better rabbis. We have made each other better people. We have all helped to create souls.
So take some to time reflect. Who are the people in your rabbinate who have made that difference? And how did you make that difference for others?
With love and shalom,
