June 2004 Highlights

Hope

 Minna Scherlinder Morse
God’s Marbles

By acting as partners in redemption, we not only generate hope, we are hope.

 Matti Friedman
Looking for Hope in the Land of Hatikva: “Like all of my friends, I tried not to let terror destroy my routine or crack my sanit. When I looked up I realized that none of us really had any optimism left.”

 

 Carol Grosman
Inspiring Stories
Through these stories, “I have witnessed countless examples of resilience, strength, humor, devotion to justice, love, kindness, generosity, trust and potential for change and transformation. The capacity of the human spirit to transcend adversity inspired me.”


 

 Lamelle Ryman
Hope: Survival and Transformation
Mikvah is an opportunity to immerse in waters that heal and transform. It is a source of hope as survival and transformation.



 

 John Ruskay and Jeremy Burton Conversation

Quote of
the Month

”The current settlement debate is really about different sorts of love, each of which is not only legitimate but critical: Love of the Land, and Love of the State. To oversimplify: The settlers love the land more. Those who want to withdraw love the State more.” Daniel Gordis
