Tonight, we have our annual The Woodlands Faiths Together Thanksgiving worship. What a blessing it is to live in a community where so many different religions can gather to support one another. Especially during this time of war and tragedy, the comfort and support of friends mean so much. This is why I am traveling to Israel tomorrow for a short trip to offer support to Israelis, especially Reform Jewish laypeople and rabbis. They are suffering through such heartbreak, uncertainty, and loss. I will be joining a small group of rabbis trying to bring some comfort and friendship.
When I return, I will speak about the trip at worship services on Friday night, November 24, and on Sunday morning, December 3. In the meantime, I will try to offer some words next week from Israel.
May we be blessed with many reasons for gratitude, and may we remember to offer the best of ourselves to those who need us most.
