I last heard Alan Dershowitz in person as a student when the House hosted him in 2006. At the time, he spoke about the Middle East conflict, chances for peace, and the situation for Jewish students on campus. 11 years later, a lot has changed: I am older, have a family, a job, and a […]

To round it all off, Rabbi Rafi’s 42nd Birthday is just around the corner. While […]

Why do we rush to build our Sukkah? I hope that you enjoyed an uplifting Yom Kippur experience. I am still flying from a Neilah that had me soaring. It was a day that reminded me of what is truly important and valuable in life – and that I always have the ability to strengthen […]

Dear Tzibbur/Community, Our email listserve provides us with a standard tool to merge the first names with each email sent, so that it is sent out personalized to you. That has proven to be more effective and impactful from a marketing and engagement perspective. “Dear Steve” or “Dear Aviva” just sounds more personal than “Dear […]
