Title

Connecting in the Wilderness

Description

During this past week, which has felt like a year, we have seen over and over again, the closeness of our people on weekday mornings, our congregants have been coming together for their minion service. We've seen each other's faces and praying through zoom. We've seen 200 LCL, J students begin learning, learning Hebrew online. Our adult engagement ran its first two virtual events this week with many more to come. Our clergy staff and congregation had been calling our more vulnerable members to check in on them. This morning. I led a Shabbat service, a nursery service for our youngest members from my living room. And I saw their beautiful faces digitally, but I could feel the closeness of that moment.
