Dear Friends,
I wanted to share with you a few words of Torah. But first, I wanted to invite you to join us for special prayers to free the hostages tonight at our Shabbat service at 5:30. We will be saying traditional prayers for the freeing of hostages, reading the names of those held captive, and studying a traditional text that teaches the utmost importance of the mitzvah of working to free those held captive.
The Rabbi appears in every other issue of Moment Magazine as the Reconstructionist Rabbi in their column “Ask the Rabbis.“
Here is a link to that column in the Winter 2023 issue, on the question:“What Jewish Wisdom Would You Offer Today’s Billionaires?”
A compilation of these columns is published in the Moment book: Can Robots be Jewish?
See this website for more information and to order the book.
