Rabbi Sarah Bassin explores the inherent tension we experience between the universal and the tribal. At times, we are compelled to look inward – affirming our own dignity and right to security. Other times, we envision a society defined by justice and equity for all. So when we strive to be more human, how do we balance our tribal needs with our universal values?

The vast majority of adults want to remain in their homes and neighborhoods as they get older, but sometimes this takes a supportive community. ChaiVillageLA is a vibrant, multi-synagogue, multi-generational community that enables congregants to age in place in their own homes by providing assistance to one another and enriching each other’s lives, as part of a self-governing village supported by Jewish values.
