Rabbi's Corner

Message from the Rabbi

[Referring to the etrog] Rabbi Abahu says: “Do not read hadar [majestic] but ha-dar [that dwells], for it is a thing that dwells on its tree from year to year. ( b. Sukkah 35a)

After the High Holidays are over we get back into the regular rhythm of our lives. Schools are back in session, time at work becomes consistent.  Just like the perennials, we get used to the way life has always been. 

Being able to count on the natural order of things gives us a sense of security. While that may not always be true of nature, we can strive to be that way for others. Showing up for others consistently is a great gift we can give no matter our talents.
