Emanu-El Congregation answers the call! Last Friday's eblast from Rabbi Bauer asking for donations of baby/kids shoes, children & adult winter clothes and mylar thermal blankets to aid in the Syrian refugee relief efforts has been overwhelming! This photo was just of this morning's drop-off by the front gate.

Alex Scotta will be making a trek to Greece and help hand out a portion of these items to refugees.

Thank you to our congregants!

"The Shofar can blast you awake. But if you are not paying attention to the breath that comes before the shofar blast and if you're not paying attention to that still, small, quiet voice inside of you after, you are missing most of Rosh Hashanah."

Listen to September 4 - Rabbi Ryan Bauer sermon by Congregation Emanu-El #np on #SoundCloud

"The thing about ‪#‎Judaism‬ is that we are a people and a tradition that encourages feedback. I need a web of people that surround me who are going to be honest and kind and who will help lead me to a healthier place."

- Rabbi Ryan Bauer

It’s ironic that a holiday established to celebrate American workers has become one of the longest, most difficult workdays for retail employees. So, instead of hitting the sales and adding to modern-day workers’ burdens, why not focus on family time and rest—the original point of this holi...

Look, no matter how old your kid is, you can explain Labor Day in a sentence: Back in the late 1800s, many Americans had to work 12 hours a day, seven days a week—kids, too!—in unsafe conditions, without enough bathroom breaks, until groups of workers banded together in unions and helped advocate for better conditions.

Feel free to add that ‪#‎Jews‬ were a huge part of this movement, and as part of our ongoing efforts at tikkun olam (fixing the world), we should continue to advocate for workers still being exploited, both in the United States and abroad.

Amen.

Listen to August 21, 2015 - Rabbi Jason Rodich sermon by Congregation Emanu-El #np on #SoundCloud

"Who are the judges that you have appointed in your own life? Are they meritorious? Are they worthy? Do your judges help you remove the grit from your soul?

Part of pursuing justice is pursuing a soul that is whole, balanced, and at peace so we might thrive in our lives."
