    “Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Lend Me Your . . . Year!”

    “Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Lend Me Your . . . Year!”

    In “Julius Caesar,” William Shakespeare takes the liberty of putting these
    words in Mark Anthony’s mouth: “Friends, Romans, countrymen; lend me your
    ears.” In the drama called life, Judaism takes the liberty of representing
    the Creator pleading: “Friends and Hebrew countrymen lend me your year.”

    Sukkot and Your Divine Purpose

    Sukkot and Your Divine Purpose

    With the arrival of the month of Tishrei, we enter the serious yet
    strangely joyous High Holy Day season. What starts with teshuvah/repentance
    at Rosh Hashana will be sealed on the judgment day of Yom Kippur. As if to
    give us all a divine break, we have five days from the close of Yom Kippur
    to the next major holiday: Sukkot.

    Moses the History Teacher Extraordinaire

    Moses the History Teacher Extraordinaire

    It’s clear from the beginning of our parasha that Moses has a strong

    understand the years across generations.”

    It’s a New Year—Have a Blast!

    It’s a New Year—Have a Blast!

    Rosh Hashanah is Judaism’s Day of Judgment. Sound scary? Actually, it
    should be the most enjoyable day of your life. After all, it is your
    birthday. It’s everyone’s birthday! According to our tradition it is the
    world’s birthday!

    Wrapping Ourselves in Messiah

    Wrapping Ourselves in Messiah

    Sos Asis – Hebrew for “rejoice greatly,” is the first phrase of this week’s
    haftarah and the title of the whole portion. We have endured, we have
    survived, we have overcome because of him, and now we are wrapped in his
    righteousness.

    When the Way Seems Uncertain

    When the Way Seems Uncertain

    Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going with my life? Is God with
    me or against me? I remember all too well the years when those pressing
    questions had no answer. And then the library workers at my university went
    on strike.
