There was a protest for Gaza at the Brooklyn Museum over the weekend. Many people were there because they care about Palestinians. Many were Jews. But what we've seen is that a small few will come imbued with a much older hatred. How do we teach Jewish kids to come into adulthood, knowing that the world is rarely indifferent to us? What does it tak…

In our parsha, Va'etchanan, Moses warns the Israelites to obey and follow Torah lest they be exiled from the land, dispersed throughout the world. He then proceeds to predict that his warnings will go unheeded and indeed, the Israelites will eventually find themselves in galut, or exile, dislocated and distanced from home. But, says Moses, if you s…

God responds a…

Rabbi Cohler-Esses' sermon addressed the Kabbalistic notion of small mind and large mind -- "mochin de-katnut and mochin de-gadlut" -- and shows how Bilaam, the Ancient Near Eastern prophet, is given lessons by his donkey, by God, and by the wilderness about what it means to make the shift from a narrow to a more expansive consciousness.…
