Quote of the Week...

Food for Thought...

On a recent Friday, I attended the Shabbat service at Temple Sinai.  The timing worked, and I felt a need to support a good friend and colleague, Rabbi Jay TelRav, and his congregation.  He did not know that I was coming, and, initially, he thought that I knew the young person who was doing her Bat Mitzvah and was there for her rite of passage.  I noted that I thought I should be present at services to let the Jewish community know that there are those in the Christian world who recognize their struggle and sense of isolation in this time.  Jay was his hospitable self and invited me to offer a prayer in the service.  Nothing earth shattering.  No major breakthroughs.  Just a simple service on a random Friday.  (By the way, the Friday service at Temple Sinai is worth a visit.  Rabbi TelRav has developed a lovely liturgy and contemplative space for refuge in the hustle and bustle of life.)
