Rabbi's Corner

Message from the Rabbi

This morning we read of the liberation of the Jews from the slavery in Egypt.  We broke out into the song at the sea in our redemption. 

As the situation at the Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville is still fluid I ask that each of us take a moment to pray for those who are still being held against their will and for members of law enforcement who stand in harm's way in the protection of our fellow citizens.  

We realize as members of the Jewish community of the dangers of living in a world filled with such hatred and anger that we are often caught in the crosshairs.  Be assured our congregation continues to be diligent in our security measures even as we face the challenges of COVID. 

We are always vigilant in our own protection. 

Even as we pray for the families and bring support to those who lost their lives and were displaced from their homes in a terrible fire in the Bronx this past week, we recognize we are all children of God and we will not permit acts of terrorism to divide us. 

May this week bring a quick resolution without incidents to this circumstance and may we find reason to sing once again. Shavua Tov.
