Jewish Tradition, Reform Rabbis, and Today's Issues

Like the ancient rabbis before us and the priests before them, we rise to the moment, because this is the moment to which we have been called. But we can't do this alone. We need to turn to our colleagues with the vulnerable and searching questions of the heart, to help us clarify our direction. We need to discover our strength in offering a generous hand to lift one another up to this moment. Even rabbis need a rabbi.
