Last night I had dinner with a woman visiting from Israel who represents the Jewish mindfulness organization Or HaLev. We spent a good amount of time talking about her experience, and her family, and how her practice of meditation has helped her garner resilience during such a terribly difficult time for her and her family. She then asked me what do Jewish leaders - rabbis and cantors, especially - need at this time from an organization like Or HaLev. And that led to a discussion about anti-semitism here in the US.
Each week, a member of the clergy offers their personal perspective on a topic of their choice, such as the week's Torah portion, aJewish holiday, ritual, custom, or history.
