Or Olam in the Loop – Our Weekly Bulletin on All Things TOO

LoopA Day for At-One-Ment

Our services for Yom Kippur will be, in a word, beautiful. Haunting melodies and sweet ones will accompany our prayer; we’ll find our own words given back to us during Rabbi Barbara’s Shacharit service sermon.  We’ll hear a story about the Dalai Llama and have the opportunity to listen to a reading of Merle Feld’s play “The Gates Are Closing.” We’ll conclude the day with Neilah, havdalah, and breakfast!

You can find the entire schedule for services on our website. Just click here:

Rabbi Barbara’s Work to Appear in Ten-Volume Series on Jewish Spirituality!

Last year, Rabbi Barbara was invited to submit an article for an important project. Contributors to the project include some of the most well-known writers in the world on Judaism, Jewish culture, and Jewish practice.  They include Chief Rabbi of Great Britain, Jonathan Sacks, internationally recognized authors like Elliot Dorff, Aviva Zornberg, Sid Schwartz, and many, many more.

Rabbi Barbara learned this week that her article on the Mourners Kaddish was accepted. Editor Rabbi Martin Cohen, himself a prolific writer, wrote that her piece was “lyrical.”  He also wrote that “The essay is beautiful: heartfelt, moving, very interesting. And your use of sources is really very clever and very well done… it’s a wonderful piece of work and I’m very proud to include it in our book.”

Mazeltov, Rabbi Barbara!
