Not enough time

To say the CCAR  conference was wonderful is truly an understatement. We were kept extremely busy from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv from the Western wall to the Knesset to the IDC college campus and much more.  The the Reform rabbis annual conference, which is held every seven years in Israel was truly fantastic. I was blessed to witness part of the conference during my year in Israel as a student and I was here 7 years ago for the conference and just finished another wonderful chance to be with colleagues and friends and be in my homeland. It has all gone by so fast and I have so much to reflect upon. Stay tuned as I will send some posts about some remarkable experiences we had over the last week.

Getting ready to go "home"

I've been blessed to call many places home. Places such as Bucks County, Brooklyn, Reading, Long Island, Paris, Jerusalem and now Erie, Pa.  However, in just a few days I will go to a place that will always be my home- my homeland- my promised land- ISRAEL.  I'm very excited to be attending the Central Conference of American Rabbis' annual conference being held in Israel.  We'll be in both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv throughout the week- as well as some other travelling.  Please stay tuned for much more info!
