Faith in Uncertain Times
March 27, 2020 – Nisan 2, 5780
Temple Solel, Paradise Valley, AZ
Rabbi John A. Linder
As a religious leader, there have been many questions on my mind over the past couple of weeks, as COVID-19 takes center stage across the United States, the latest stop in its unyielding pandemic spread. Foremost, for me, is the question, “How can our respective faith traditions help us navigate this crisis.” In these times of magnified disorientation, fear, loss, uncertainty, and instability, what does Judaism offer, to a solid foundation upon which to stand?

Fifty years ago, after the 230,000-mile voyage, Apollo 11 successfully landed on the Moon. The
first time in the history of humanity. If you’re over 55, you likely recall exactly where you were

north woods of Maine. Just this past Wednesday, I called my life-long friend and brother,
Stanley Weil. We reminisced about gathering in the camp’s mess hall in the middle of that July

In this week’s Torah portion, B’haalot’cha, we find the Israelite community, and those who have chosen to join them, on the first anniversary marking their Exodus from Egypt.

Those tablets, a manifestation of the divine, will now serve as the Jewish people’s living, ete...
