We're independent, just like you.
Here’s the deal kids: we’ve been a little busy. The G-d Project has basically taken over our lives. And we’re super greatful to Ketzirah, Leon, Rivka, Jeremiah and others who have given 110% to keep our heads above water.
But the dvar for this week…yeah…we outsourced it!
Check out two clips from our friends at G-dCast for this week’s spiritual inspiration. L’Shana Tovah!
Tishrei 5772 begins at Sundown on Wednesday, September 28, 2011
The shofar is not only a symbol we all associate with Tishrei, but it’s also a symbol of Judaism. Many of us only think about the shofar at the High Holy days, but in ancient times it was used regularly in religious rites.

Carly Lesser (a.k.a. Ketzirah – קצירה) is Kohenet, Celebrant and Artist whose passion is helping Jews who are unaffiliated, earth-based or in interfaith / inter-denominational relationships connect more deeply with Judaism and make it relevant in their every day lives. She is an active blogger and prayer leader on OneShul.org and PeelaPom.com.
A simple math equation:
A banished surrogate mother and child + child sacrifice + a great leader dying for no good reason = totally messed up.
But life is messed up. And G-d, in this week’s Torah portions, represents life. What’s the solution to a moral crisis when you live in an amoral (non-moral) universe?
GET MORAL!
G-d is limited. G-d cannot do the great work that we can of making the world a holy and moral place. That’s why we have mitzvot: this is our ability to “play G-d” and make the world what it should be…the world that G-d wants it to be, through our actions, thoughts and feelings.
Happy 5771!
