Filmed this on the beach with Rabbi Shefa Gold some time ago, a beautiful meditation to do in a sukkah!

Some new and updated ideas for sukkot - heading out to teach here in Paris, FR for first night of sukkot now. Will let you know how it goes - was wonderful in the streets of the Jewish quarter here today!

God selected a very holy escort for the souls of the Israelis murdered in Bulgaria, on the very anniversary of the deportation to Auschwitz of 13,000 Parisian Jews. You see, our colleague, Rabbi Michael Goldberger succumbed to renal cancer on that day last week. I'd like you to know of him, at least through this article, if you don't already. For he was remarkable and much beloved by his family, friends, colleague, community and students.

Many friends forward a flyer for the URJ "Bnai Mitzvah Revolution" announcement because they remembered it's the initiative theme and header for my own work in B'nei Mitzvah lo these many years. I'm thrilled to see the Reform Movement seeking to address this need. Just posted a piece on the topic under teachings here. Would love to hear your ideas and perceptions too.
