e-Megillah October 26, 2023
| e-Megillah Thursday, October 26, 2023 Issue #639 Letter from Rabbi Ross This Saturday, 10/28, we finally are starting our new round of Prayer Lab classes. We will take time each session to check in about the events in Israel and Gaza. I have found great comfort in being in community during the first few weeks of this nightmare. We invite all who seek community to join us for either our discussion hour, or our prayer service hour, or both. Being in community now can be so meaningful. Let me share two positive perspectives from Israelis I am encountering recently. After 10 months of massive protests, the protest organizers are using their communication lists and organizing strategies to refocus Israeli society on unifying and preparing for a long war. Volunteers are gathering needed supplies and routing them as needed. Restaurants are “kashering” their kitchens and preparing meals for the military. Neighbors are turning to each other for help with child care, or housing needs. Israelis are feeling connected and supported by this instant pivot. This is the first time in Israel’s history where it’s losses were primarily felt by the civilian population. Israelis are also feeling tremendous support from the words and actions of President Biden. They are heartened by his continuous acts of support. We pray for the return of the hostages. We pray for peace. NEW CLASS STARTING – Prayer Lab’s “Making Prayer Real” I am asking everyone to purchase the book at Amazon or Barnes and Noble. (I will provide handouts the first week or two as folks order this paperback book.)
