One of my favorite memories was during an online Zoom class with my sister. It suddenly started pouring rain outside, and without even thinking twice we left our laptops behind and ran outside together and started dancing in the rain. it’s still one of my all-time favorite memories.

What makes you proud to be a Jew?
I love the community and the pride: no matter what happens or where you go, you’re still a Jew, nothing can change that. Even if you’re not religious, you still belong, and we stick together.

SOUL COFFEE

Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

On Rosh Hashanah, we call G‑d both king and father.

King, because He dictates what will be and what will not.

Father, because there is something of Him within each of us.

Indeed, as we choose, so He will dictate.

Choose life.
