I'll be celebrating my 71st birthday, and will begin work for Neshama Association of Jewish Chaplains. In a world in need of healing, I'm invite you to celebrate my birthday with a donation for this holy work www.facebook.com/donate/98057...

Why can I not find Israel World Cup soccer jerseys on any of the websites that are selling international jerseys?

Thinking of those Americans who fell in wars that defended democracy and helped free people from oppression. May their memories inspire us to always stand up for human rights and dignity. Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day

Shabbat Shalom, wishing you peace over the coming day and days www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YsV...

The area in which I live & work in Broward County, FL was Tequesta land. The Tequesta tribe ceased to exist [a small remnant fled to Cuba in the 18th century] as a result of diseases that came with European settlement, wars, and forced relocation. www.legendsofamerica.com/tequesta-tri...

Rabbi Yosef Weinstock refers to Pesach - #Passover - as the Annual Jewish Storytelling Festival. If you're attending a Seder, remember to connect the Exodus to all stories of personal and national liberations and to be inspired to work towards freedom for all

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Shabbat youtube.com/watch?v=rcA8...

Excited to begin the day leading staff learning for Jewish Federation of Broward County Impact and Engagement team on what the Hagaddah teaches us about storytelling, and relating it to how we tell our stories, both personal and professional

At a time in which war and hostilities are rampant, Shabbat enters with this song of peace. May you and yours, and the entire world, be blessed with peace soon #ShabbatShalom youtube.com/watch?v=g8aO...

On the Hebrew calendar, today is the beginning of the month of Nisan, the first month of the year as the Torah counted. The verse "This month shall mark for you the beginning of the months; it shall be the first of the months of the year for you"

Special greetings for today: Shabbat begins tonight. Most synagogues, schools & organizations continue to provide for the highest level of security possible. You can ignore a false meme going around suggesting people stay away from services.

Some of y'all don't pass armed security on the way to religious services , or to work in a Jewish school, preschool, or organization. I do. We Jewish folks are grateful to the security personnel, law enforcement, and volunteers who are protecting the Jewish community in the US and worldwide.

I’m honored that my friend and colleague, Rabbi Susan Elkodsi, included my d’var Torah in her inspiring new book, Midrash Hazak: Torah Wisdom by 70 Over 70. Grateful to be part of a project that uplifts the voices and insights of our elders.

A bit of a spiritual mashup, but the idea is purifying our space and our time to make room for Shabbat. Wishing you and yours a peaceful Shabbat and hoping you, too, will make space for peace amidst a chaotic world.

Not my favorite from Pink Floyd, but really interesting research out of Israel's Technion! technionuk.org/news-post/ca...

In the biblical Book of Esther, humans, particularly women, are the heroes. God doesn't even make an appearance. This is our reminder: YOU were put here to make miracles happen. Go forth and do it!

A Chodesh Tov, a happy New Month (the Hebrew month of Adar, beginning tonight). Happy Fat Tuesday. Happy Chinese New Year. Ramadan Mubarak. All of us observing or celebrating. And together as part of the human family.

Sending along Shabbat Shalom greetings, and wishes for a day of relaxation

Many of you are in the path of a major cold front and winter storm. Please be safe. And, hey... www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Fpl...

I made my donation towards the rebuilding of Congregation Beth Israel in Jackson, Mississippi after the arson attack against the synagogue. Did it through @jfederations.bsky.social . Join in the effort at www.jotform.com/form/2601065...

Jewish people of a certain age might remember this

Happy to invite you to join in making Shabbat special in your own way during 2016. A little wine, challah, candles, song, relaxation, reading, spiritual pursuits, and turning off the noise of the week. [you don't have to be Jewish] Shabbat Shalom, my friends www.youtube.com/watch?v=80L9...

We are down to the last hours of Chanukah. What is the lesson you take away from Chanukah this year?

Happy Chanukah, as we light all the lights on the menorah, sending light into the dark winter world. Enjoy this wonderful Ladino song for the holiday ¡Januca Sameaj! youtube.com/watch?v=Bieo...

Winter Solstice makes this the darkest day of the year. We also celebrate Rosh Chodesh, the New Moon, and tonight is the last night of Chanukah, So we will be adding the most light. .

Tonight and tomorrow, we Jews celebrate Rest for Shabbat, the cycles of nature for Rosh Chodesh (new moon), and self-determination and miracles for Chanukah. Wishing you joy and celebration, especially at times when darkness threatens www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_mo...

On this Thanksgiving Day, acknowledging the Tequesta tribe who were the original people of the area in which we now live.

Buen Shabat, amigos!

Just in time for Shabbat, The Notorious R.A.V.'s cholent recipe is now online arnolddsamlan.wordpress.com/2025/11/13/t...

This is the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the pogrom carried out by Germans only 87 years ago, an event that was another step towards the Holocaust. The murder of over 6,000,000 Jews and others that the Nazis deemed undesirable began gradually.

Looking forward to hearing this gentleman in synagogue this Shabbat. Shabbat shalom! youtu.be/niTWPbC8gXo?...

Wrote letters to my senators, congressperson, president and vice president, imploring them to move beyond partisan politics to come to an agreement, reopen government, feed those in need, and reform healthcare. Here's my text. Feel free to borrow. arnolddsamlan.wordpress.com/2025/11/07/a...

Looking forward to Shulem leading services in our synagogue this Shabbat, along with the Shulamim backing singers. If you don't know him, start here: open.spotify.com/track/26GEwe...

Hmmmm, my state (and most) already require some form of valid ID. And nobody has to present ID for gas or groceries

The surgery follow-up call from my pediodontist's office. Included the advice: Don't bow too far during prayer, because it causes the blood to rush to your head. I actually felt so seen.

There's just too much drama in the world around us. If I want drama, I'll go to a show. What we need now is Intermission. Shabbat is my intermission from so much around us. I hope you bless yourself with holy rest, regardless of your religious tradition or lack thereof. Shabbat Shalom

Sending caring and support to my colleague & friend, Rabbi Cantor Jeffrey Myers & Tree of Life Congregation, on the anniversary of antisemitic mass murders 7 years ago today. May the memories of those who perished be a blessing & inspire us to fight antisemitism and hatred daily.

With Shabbat approaching please let me know of people in need of healing energy and I'll include them in the healing prayer recited during Shabbat. Shabbat Shalom youtu.be/QhwWkOshPOA?...

@thejerusalempost.bsky.social wins the Jewish internet today with this piece of Jewish performance art at a White House press conference by Jake Turx www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

Hey, y'all: it is Friday What have we learned this week?

The Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret includes a prayer for rain, asking that there be rain "for blessing and not curse, for life and not death". May it inspire us towards the actions that will help our climate and environment so that this becomes a reality. Chag Sameach, happy holiday

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם,מַתִּיר אֲסוּרִים! Praised is God, ruler of the universe, who causes the freeing of hostages

Going into Shabbat with hope for the release of the Israeli hostages and for a break from the war that has lasted so long and taken so many lives in Israel and Gaza. This holds the possibility of a larger more lasting peace. May it be so
