Writing our Past, Writing our Future – from Rabbi Judy in Israel

“Days are scrolls, write on them only what you want to be remembered,” Bachya Ibn Pakuda taught.

Digging at a tel (an archeological site) in Israel, coins and stones are found with writing that confirms that our roots on this land are deep.

Proving our past does not secure our future.

We are the next layer of the tel, the archeological trail, that leaves evidence of a Judaism that transformed the world.

May the Jewish life and values we live, become the scrolls and shards that inspire the generations to come.
