My favorite Yom Kippur moment?
A young couple strolling around Lucchesi pond look up, see our sign for High Holiday services, remember that it's the holiest day of the year and join us then and there for Neilah - closing of the gates - the spiritual climax of Yom Kippur.
Ever try to snap a thread? It's easy. However, take multiple threads, twist them together into a rope, and no amount of force can break them. On Yom Kippur, the best way to ensure a good and a sweet new year is to add another Jew to our beautiful collective rope of community.
Now it's on to Sukkot, where we all sit together under the same roof, the mystical canopy of the sukkah, and differences melt away in the face of unconditional unity.
In Las Vegas, two opposite forces. The indiscriminate shooting that did not differentiate between mother, doctor, officer. And then the indiscriminate acts of love performed by random strangers, realizing that one person's blood is not redder than the next. Let's continue to flood the airwaves of the world with kindness, love, and unity.
