We look to the stories, wisdom, spiritual insights, and halacha of our tradition to bring meaning into our lives.
Our community is defined by the core Jewish value of gemilut hasadim, compassion and loving kindness.
An American visitor was passing through the Polish town of Radin and stopped to visit the Chafetz Chayim.
Entering the sage's apartment, he was struck by how minimally it was furnished.
"Where is your furniture?" the man asked.
"Where is yours?" the Chaftez Chayim replied.
"Oh, I am only passing through," the man said.
"I too, am only passing through," said the Chofetz Chayim.
I talk about this spiritual insight a lot, I know. We are borrowers of the gift of life. We don't own anything, even our own individual existence is not "ours."
How do you understand this? In what ways can you look at what you feel you own today and see it as something you're borrowing?

We're delighted to share recordings of High Holy Day melodies by our Chazzan Josh Jacobson. You can find the recordings here, including the name of the prayer and the page number in the machzor (High Holy Day prayer book). Find some time to listen in preparation of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. You will begin to feel the essence of this season, and our symphony of voices will become stronger during services.
