A Message for the Omer
By Rabbi Sharon Cohen Anisfeld
President, Hebrew College
Today is the 40th day of the Omer. What is this daily practice of blessing and counting our days meant to awaken in us?
What is it meant to do to us?
Every year, it does something different to me.
Today, my heart is pounding as I think about the haunting reality that, this year,
we are not only counting days, we are counting bodies.

SEVENTY FACES OF TORAH
This blog also appears weekly in Patheos.
I'd Like to Exchange these Curses for Blessing, Please?
By Rabbi Shira Shazeer`10
Each of us has the potential to be a part of turning things around. How? In three parts. First, we can walk in the ways of learning; both in our sacred texts, and in the Torah that is written in the life experience of other people with perspectives different than our own. Next, we can guard the learning: both committing to understand, as deeply as we can, the kind of just, loving, community-minded society that God urges us to establish and transmitting that understanding, with love, justice and respect, to our children and students. Finally, we can act with determination according to that understanding, with the intention to fulfill that vision and transmit it.
