Rabbi's Week in Review Blog

This past week, we began a new book of the Torah — the Book of Shemot, or Exodus. I always get a sense of renewed excitement as we progress through the Torah every year, each book giving us different themes and a different part of our story.  

In Shemot/Exodus, we begin our story as we become a people. We begin our journey from bondage to standing at Mt. Sinai.

We have formed a wonderful community at Congregation Kol Ami. At the same time, we continually look for ways to both strengthen and expand our sense of community. We also continue to look for ways to reach out to other communities that have been marginalized.

As we approach the secular new year of 2022, I am looking forward to all that is to come for our Kol Ami family. I know we will continue to be a synagogue community that is creatively looking toward the future, and to be leaders in forging a new path for creating Jewish community.

I am proud and honored to be on this journey with you.
