Rabbi's Message


Dear OZ family,

As we approach the open arms of Shabbat’s peaceful embrace, I ask everyone to please heed the cautionary words of our President’s recent email, to be aware of the professed hatred set aside for tomorrow. We are on a heightened level of vigilance, and the police have informed us that they will also have an enhanced presence in our community. We know very well that hatred can only be displaced by love, and therefore, tomorrow, for our community, will be a day of devotion, chesed, love, peace and tranquility. Why should we wait until tomorrow? Let’s do chesed today! Pick up a pair of gloves at shul to share with someone who is cold, as the temperature is going down into the 20’s tonight. Phone someone you know will be cheered by the call. Visit Bina at Mt. Sinai West on 59th St. 9B room 14, with fresh mangoes. Love always defeats hatred.

Shabbat Shalom - Stay well and safe!

Rabbi Allen Schwartz

RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB


  • We live our daily lives in a world that seems to be primarily material. We are surrounded by "things,"  both natural and fabricated. Our understanding, intents, and purposes may, on occasion, provide them with a meaning that transcends nature and human artifice and even their moral role in our lives. This suggests that our interaction with the things of our world, especially with works of art, may open us to a reality that transcends the world's materiality. Even rarer but still possible are those moments in which the realm of the spirit seems to enter our ordinary world and either directly transform its material nature or teach us how to do so. Have you ever had or read about such moments? How have they affected you? If you have not had such experiences, how do you understand others who have had them? Has it changed how you know your reality?
