Our Torah Gatherings – Wed 5/5 & Sun 5/9

Pirke Avot Chapter 2, Siman 5 . . .

וּבְמָקוֹם שֶׁאֵין אֲנָשִׁים, הִשְׁתַּדֵּל לִהְיוֹת אִיש:
In a place where there is no man, strive to be a man . . . in Yiddish: ‘zai a mensch’ in a place where no one is . . .

In a world devoid of humanity, Israel as a country, yes an imperfect Israel, and yet as a Jewish nation, again steps forward to be ‘that man . . .’

Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals

Israel to send COVID-19 emergency aid to India:

and yet, we are forever reminded . . . lest we forget.

Pirke Avot Chapter 1, Siman 14 . . .

הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר, אִם אֵין אֲנִי לִי, מִי לִי. וּכְשֶׁאֲנִי לְעַצְמִי, מָה אֲנִי. וְאִם לֹא עַכְשָׁיו, אֵימָתָי:

Hillel [also] used to say: If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for my own self, what then am I?

And if not now, when?

Robyn shares her thoughts and feelings about what has happened at Har Meron, about being a mother and caring deeply for others and about how closely connected all of us are to each other . . .
