LEARNING TORAH FOR THE SAKE OF HEAVEN...& GREAT BEACHES

בס"ד
8 Sh'vat


I discovered this today. Non-denominational Jewish learning in Maui in February. That's the ticket. Jews gathering to share & learn lishma, then taking it home to their communities to spread the sparks.

My friend Lisa Alcalay Klug is one of the teachers, a dedicated journalist & a very sweet soul.
& she's going to Hawai'i while I am bombarded by ads reminding me not to forget my ice picks when I ski-doo.

I often think about what we can all do as Jews to soften the political barriers between Jewish denominations. Where is that respectful middle ground where we can all meet, regardless of our theories & practices? How do we promote Judaic interdenominationalism?

If we can do this, we will enrich all Israel & the world.
