Application for Scholarship

I want to talk you today about the power of Jewish community, the biggest threat to a strong American Jewish community, and a tenth grade student sleeping on the rabbi’s office couch. You see, I grew up in the greatest intimate Jewish community. I am not talking about New York City. I grew up in the offices of Central Synagogue where my father was a senior rabbi. I would roam the halls, bother the secretaries, slide chairs across the social hall floors (not something I am recommending), and hang out with the Shabbat service ushers. I lived in an intimate, caring, and embracing Jewish community.
