Rabbi's Corner

Message from the Rabbi

Wrestling with Ourselves is the Result of Our Conscience Growing
“Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the break of dawn.” (Genesis 32:25)
After two decades apart Jacob still concerns himself with the stolen birthright.  We struggle with singular acts in our lives.  We replay decisions over and over again.  We are determined never to act that way again and resolve to do better in the future.  That is what it means to have a conscience. That is a good thing, not something to beat ourselves up over.  It is something to recognize and build upon.  We all make mistakes.  If we are wrestling with ourselves, we have a conscience.

Unfortunately, our “In The Beginning” learning is postponed until next month. 

On Saturday evening November 20, 2021 at 7:30pm I will be teaching at the Westchester Night of Jewish Learning. My class will be “Modern Jewish Prayers.” There are many extraordinary Israeli musicians producing music that speaks to our hopes and dreams.  Join me as I share them through videos and lyrics.
