Earlier this morning, I was a guest on a radio show earlier this morning with a colleague and we talked about exactly this, faith during these times. I’ll hopefully have a link to share with the congregation in the next few days, but one thing I want to share from our conversation is that that both of us noted that attendance, albeit over the internet, is up. We are all craving spiritual and social connection with one another.
What day is today?
I feel like that question has been asked more and more in these recent weeks. With kids staying home from school, and many adults working from home, it’s possible that there hasn’t been much to differentiate one day from another.
But Judaism teaches that our days are not the same. And tonight, I want to share two lessons from our Jewish calendar that reinforce this inspirational idea. It also so happens that both of them occur tonight and in the days ahead.
