Shabbat Shalom yโ€™all. Shabbat is here.

May we all be united as one family, brothers and sisters together. In Behaโ€™alotecha, God tells Aaron to light the Menorah, bringing light to the people. The portion teaches us about faith, humility, and responsibility. Moses leads the people through challenges with patience and trust in God. May this Shabbat inspire us to bring light, kindness, and understanding to others and strengthen our unity and friendship.๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•Žโœก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒน๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽปhttps://youtu.be/56jJejNdLvs?si=tkmfFpgjWhTH5Omc

As a rabbi, a Jew, and a Reform Jew, I believe Pride Month must be honored because Judaism teaches that every person is created bโ€™tzelem Elohim , in the image of God. My faith calls me not only to pray, but to protect human dignity, especially for those who have known rejection, fear, or silence. Supporting LGBTQ people is not a political gesture for me; it is a moral and spiritual responsibility rooted in compassion, justice, and love. A healthy Jewish community must be a place where people can live truthfully and without shame. Pride Month reminds us that acceptance can heal lives and strengthen society. As Hillel taught, โ€œWhat is hateful to you, do not do to anotherโ€ (Shabbat 31a). Philosopher Martin Buber wrote, โ€œAll real living is meeting.โ€ ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’โœก๏ธ๐Ÿ•Ž๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโค๏ธ https://youtu.be/3pmt-wWzC1E?si=AUp5PE2Tmoesu81r

Shabbat Shalom. This Shabbat, Jewish communities read different Torah portions: Parashat Naso in the Diaspora and Parashat Behaโ€™alotcha in Israel. The difference exists because Jewish holidays are celebrated for one extra day outside Israel, which sometimes changes the weekly Torah reading cycle after a festival falls on Shabbat. Even with different readings, we are united in prayer, hope, and faith. Shabbat is a special time for rest, gratitude, family, and spiritual renewal. We pray for peace, blessing, healing, and growth, and wish everyone a calm, meaningful, and joyful Shabbat.Shabbat Shalom ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโœก๏ธ๐Ÿ•Ž๐ŸŽป๐ŸŽผ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ https://youtu.be/e5ntdAL_1qg?si=4ua6-0fdDLdOW0AN

Today we remember the brave souls who gave everything for freedom, and whose courage lives in every heartbeat of this nation. As Jewish Americans, we honor both memory and hope, pain and strength, standing together with gratitude, faith, and pride. May their sacrifice never be forgotten, and may their light continue to guide future generations toward peace, unity, and love.๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ™https://youtu.be/NSqVkuTegxY

Happy Shavuot, the celebration of the giving of the Torah. May this sacred holiday fill our hearts with wisdom, kindness, and faith, and remind us that the light of the Torah is meant to guide not only the Jewish people, but all humanity toward compassion, justice, peace, and mutual respect. May we continue to learn from its timeless values and bring more goodness, understanding, and hope into the world. โ€œYour word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my pathโ€ (Psalm 119:105).๐Ÿ•Žโœก๏ธ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’๐ŸŒพ๐ŸŒพ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŽป๐ŸŽถhttps://youtu.be/Jo-MEQonT6U?si=zps7YRSex8VQLEQ1

Shabbat Shalom yโ€™all!
A Shabbat of rest, togetherness, and listening.
This week we begin the Book of Numbers (Bamidbar), where the people of Israel are counted and organized before their journey through the desert. Parashat Bamidbar reminds us that every person has a place, a role, and unique value within the community. Just as the tribes camped around the Mishkan with purpose and order, we too are called to create balance, unity, and meaning in our lives as we move forward together.๐Ÿ•Žโœก๏ธ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽป๐Ÿ˜https://youtu.be/SXe1Q0vhDWU?si=cpdM91E7sZX1ECX1
