Rabbi's Corner

Message from the Rabbi

Darkest Before the Dawn
"They hid all the land from view, and the land was darkened;" (Exodus 10:15)

Some say, “it is darkest before the dawn.” Until the light shines we must make sure to help each other through the darkness. 

A prayer from Marquette University
May we who are merely inconvenienced
remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors
remember those most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home
remember those who must choose
between preserving their health or making their rent.
May we who have to cancel our trips
remember those that have no place to go.
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market
remember those who have no margin at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home
remember those who have no home.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other,
let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors.
Amen.
