When I returned from my sixth Jewish humanitarian mission to the island of Cuba at the beginning of February, little did I know that the entire world would be in quarantine only a month later. It now feels like a miracle that we were all able to be together.
"Source of Blessing, our lives are in turmoil, our hearts heavy. Help us to cope with this modern plague..."
My love affair with Cuba’s Jewish community began in 2005, with my first mission to the country, where I quickly learned that my guitar did all the talking.
Last year, I was honored to meet Mugoya Shadrach Levi, a 29-year-old rabbinic student from Uganda. Learn about him and how Jews came to be in Uganda in the first place.
I had the recent pleasure to be invited by a friend on a hike in Los Liones Canyon of Pacific Palisades. It was gorgeous summer day and the trail was steep. We pretty much hightailed it up as fast as our feet would carry us!
Together, we will champion the lessons of Passover by bringing greater wholeness, justice, and belonging to our world.
