President’s Message – August 14, 2020

Shabbat Shalom!

It is such a great gift to be surrounded by people who inspire you.   Family members, friends, teachers, and people you work with have the ability to lift your spirits and to change your life.  This week, think about someone who inspires you and remember to thank him or her for making a difference in your life. I am inspired by Scott, who always stays positive in the most difficult situations. He reminds me that our perspective creates our experience.

Below is an inspiring lecture given by Rabbi, Lord, Jonathan Sacks sent to us by Marc Nicols.  Rabbi Sacks’ global challenge is to inspire a new generation of Jewish leaders and deepen the conversation between Torah and the wisdom of the world. I hope that you enjoy it and are inspired as much as we were.
