Words of wisdom from the former Rabbi of Temple Shalom in Colorado Springs...he recently moved to Florida...

Mel Glazer checked in to The Villages, Florida's Friendliest Hometown (The Villages, FL).

"The saddest thing about being in the path of a hurricane is the fear, the boredom of waiting for it finally to arrive, and the uncertainty about whether we lose power. And then there is whatever needs to happen after.
The heart-warming news about being in the path is watching all the first responders who give up their own safety to protect others, the friendliness of strangers to each other, the acts of loving kindness seen day after day.

What's the lesson? Evil comes into the world so that the good folks will arise and remember that God created each and every one of us in the Holy Image, and that nothing else really matters.

We will get through this, and then we will move forward.

Wouldn't it be nice of us to give our time, our concern and our caring for others BEFORE bad things happen?

And so may it be God's will.
Stay safe, my Friends, wherever you live."

From Dr. Ellen: Great Spiritual Growth Words of Wisdom!

I like this and what is the best is I've determined that there is no one way to do this. Thanks again Dr. Ellen Albertson!

Dr. Ellen says, "There is no one way to connect with God/sprit despite what certain organizations would have you believe."

 I agree.

Hurricane Irma IS NOT From God - It's plain global warming

I do not believe God is causing this terrible hurricane as a warning or punishment...it is just plain global warming. Why would God want to destroy lives and property? It makes no sense.

Shabbat HaNefesh - Temple Israel Long Beach 9-8-17

I just enjoy Temple Israel's Shabbat HaNefesh services so much, that I'm posting this video even before I watch it. (I have it streaming right now through my kitchen TV in Colorado....)

 

Where Heaven and Earth Touch!

Like this song says, I want to believe in a better day and a better way!

Yes...somewhere...somehow...it is my hope that Heaven and Earth do touch and connect!

I want to believe...I need to believe.....

Thank you Craig Taubman for composing this song and for Cantor Sara Hass's beautiful voice.

 

Cantor Lizzie Weiss sings Craig Taubman's "Where Heaven and Earth Touch"

I heard Cantor Sara Hass who is Cantor Lizzie Weiss's sister sing this at Temple Israel in Long Beach. It was just so beautiful and I'm so glad to be able to share this song here.  Cantor Weiss's voice sounds so similar to Cantor Hass's voice.  I love this song and I love how Cantor Weiss sings this song!
