Is our country spiritually hungry?

As America marks 250 years, this conversation explores questions many people are asking: Why are so many feeling disconnected? And what kind of future are we capable of building together?

Featuring Rainn Wilson in conversation with Arthur Brooks, Vivek Murthy, Amanda Ripley, and Derik Smith, this Soul Boom episode invites us to consider the spiritual dimension of our nation's challenges and the possibilities that emerge when we work toward the common good.

What a moving and well attended Yom Hashoah Program (Holocaust Remembrance Day) last night at the beautiful Temple Rodef Sholom. It began with the opening reading “At the rising of the sun and at its going down, we remember them. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them . . . As long as we live, they too will live; For they are now a part of us as we remember them “. (Written by Rabbi Sylvan and Rabbi Jack Reiner)
Mary Cunningham, President of the Greater Waco Interfaith Conference welcomed all. Opening remarks were made by Rabbi Sabine Meyers, Ph.d and representatives from different faiths lit six candles to represent the six million Jewish lives—mothers, fathers, children and grandchildren—whose futures were stolen. Each candle serves as an act of memory against the darkness and violence with the promise of “Never Again“.
Guest speaker and author Ron Schwarz gave a moving account of his father Charles Schwarz and his daring journey as he fled to France, then to the mountains of Switzerland.
Rabbi Ben-Zion Lanxer delivered a beautiful chant of the Jewish memorial prayer and Rabbi Sabine Meyer said the Mourner’s Kaddish.

****Clear Bag Policy*****

Just a reminder of the upcoming community gathering in remembrance of the Holocaust. People of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome as we come together to honor those who suffered, learn from history, and strengthen our commitment to compassion and human unity.
Through reflection, readings, and shared remembrance, we honor the victims and survivors and renew our dedication to standing against hatred and prejudice.
The Guest Speaker this year is Ron Schwarz, the son and grandson of Holocaust survivors and author of "The Quiet Strength of Resilience" a memoir about his family's daring journey through Europe during the war.
There will be a book signing after the event.

I hope you will join us at the Temple Rodef Sholom, Tuesday, April 14 at 6:30, 1717 N. New Road, Waco, TX. Please note that there is a Clear Bag Policy in effect.
