Tisha B’Av Services – Monday evening, July 19th
Monday evening, July 19, we begin a day of mourning in the Jewish calendar. It is on this day, the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av, that several events are reputed to have occurred, including the destruction of both Temples some 656 years apart.

View From the Bima – An All-Star Break Edition
A View From the Bima An All-Star Break Edition Mint Condition For Father’s Day I received a book written by a young journalist, Dave Jamieson. On the back flap where you find his picture and a bio, it reads, “He lives in Washington, DC, with a closetful of worthless baseball cards, all of them in excellent condition.” His book is a historical perspective on “How Baseball Cards Became an American Obsession.” I am grateful that I am not alone in what my wife calls an obsession and my kids label a compulsion. I feel a lot more comfortable on my notable birthday this July in knowing that I am joined by thousands of middle aged men who are attempting to relive their youth by pursuing something that brought many of us hours of satisfaction in our younger days. We recall the days when we took the spare change that our parents gave us as an allowance and plucked it down on the counter of the local corner store to buy our fix of wax packs with the stale gum and baseball cards inside.

Happier is… WEEK ELEVEN – Mattot / Massei – Learn to Fail or Fail to Learn
Learn to Fail or Fail to Learn “If we avoid hardships and challenges because we may fail, the message we are sending ourselves is that we are unable to deal with difficulty, and our self-esteem suffers as a result. But, if we do challenge ourselves, the message we are sending ourselves, the message we internalize, is that we are resilient enough to handle potential failure. Taking on challenges instead of avoiding them has a greater long-term effect on our self-esteem than winning or losing, failing or succeeding.” “You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity.” ~~ J.K. Rowling, Harvard Commencement 2008 ~~
