VIEWS FROM THE PEWS
Recipe for Freedom: Our tradition teaches that Matzah is the bread of affliction baked hastily on the run, but there is reason to believe this is crumby Interpretation. Together we learn how Matzah became the bread of freedom.
Rabbi Charles E. Savenor serves as the Executive Director of Civic Spirit. Founded in 2017, Civic Spirit provides training in civic education to Jewish, Catholic, Christian, and Islamic day schools.
The organization's mission is to educate, inspire, and empower faculty and students towards civic belonging, knowledge, and responsibility. In addition to his work at Civic Spirit, Rabbi Savenor was the co-Executive Producer of "We Are Here - The Songs of the Holocaust" that sold out Carnegie Hall this past January in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
He currently sits on the international boards of Leket Israel (the National Food Bank of Israel) and Gesher. Charlie and his wife, Julie Walpert, are the parents of two sons, Joseph and Benjamin, both of whom were Rabbi Schwartz's students. Raving fans of the Red Sox and Celtics, they live in New York City.

RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB
- In life, we have successes and we have setbacks. When we seem to be moving along a straight path, that is, when we live in linear time, a setback is a " step back." That's ok since sometimes it's "one step forward and two steps back"; other times, it's straight on through to success. When, however, the patterns of our life keep repeating themselves, when, that is, we live in "cyclical" time, we experience a built-in, unavoidable waxing and waning of possibilities in our lives. As a result, we expect and need both failure and success. What's it like for you--linear, cyclical, or both? How do you deal with "the dark times"?
- Reflections on Exodus 12:1-20
