Rabbi's Corner

Message from the Rabbi

"And Moses took with him the bones of Joseph, who had exacted an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will be sure to take notice of you: then you shall carry up my bones from here with you.” "(Exodus 13:19)

We must place ourselves in our own generation never believing we are responsible only for ourselves.  If there is one message our community is all about it would be commitment to each other.  We take care of each other in difficult times and celebrate with each other in joyous moments.  It gives us a sense of grounding and wards off the isolation that can come living in a digital world. 
 
The Torah goes further. God through the Torah teaches a commitment to future generations and to past generations.  By placing ourselves in our community we gain a sense of meaning.  Commitment to previous generations and the future of our people gives us purpose.

Commitment to the next generation and commitment to the previous generation places us historically in the narrative of our nation.
