The word of the week:
This week’s message has been so challenging to write. I see the conflict in Israel and feel distraught over the loss of life and continued fighting. I have received messages from friends in Tel Aviv that they are being bombed non-stop. When will this end? Let’s dedicate our service to peace this week. Prayers for Peace as we celebrate receiving the Torah from G-d.
