SPIRITUAL ESSENCE:

Focusing on the essence of spirituality from all times, places, cultures…and beyond. Serving and cultivating the innate, inherent spiritual nature contained within all: the religious, the non-religious, the spiritual but not religious, the atheist, the agnostic, the mystic; whatever one does or does not consider oneself. We are beings at many different levels with many different aspects: physical, energy/life force, mind, intellect, emotion; but at our deepest common core, we are all spiritual beings. We all yearn to love and be loved, to nurture and be nurtured, to express and serve and realize each of our unique destinies. We can all help each other along our individual journeys, united by our common needs and yearnings.

Quote of the Week #156 - Listening/Hearing for Non-material Sustenance


Every one who is thirsty, come and drink. He who has no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good. Let your soul delight in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, that your soul will live…


--Isaiah 55:1-3, The Living Torah translation by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan

Quote of the Week #123 - Tragedy and Heartbreak


Quote of the Week # 123  – Tragedy and Heartbreak

Heartbroken about the tragedy in Pittsburgh. Another moment of shevirat hakeilim, of the shattering of the vessels. How broken and shattered our world has become! Praying for the families who lost loved ones. Praying for all of us.

Thinking of my son Adir who is a Conservative rabbi at Har Zion Temple in Oak Park Illinois and all my other friends who are rabbis and congregants across America. 

Let us respond to the hatred and darkness by filling the world with love and light. Let us raise up the sparks wherever we find them. Let us strive to see the divinity in every human being.

--from my dear friend, Rabbi Yoel Glick
