Rabbi's Corner

Message from the Rabbi

 Friendship
“Phinehas, son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the Israelites by displaying among them his passion for Me, so that I did not wipe out the Israelite people in My passion. Say, therefore, ‘I grant him My pact of friendship." (Numbers 25:11-12)

Friendship is not just the cessation of violence. Friendship is knowing someone has your back and will stand up for you.  Friendship is shared and valued.  Friendship is not something that happens by clicking a button on an app.  Friendship means sometimes having to forgive and being grateful for being forgiven.  Friendship takes effort and energy, time and commitment.  May this week bring us an appreciation for the people in our lives we call our friends. 

P.S. GHC is great place make new life long friends.
