Rabbi Sarah Bassin explores the inherent tension we experience between the universal and the tribal. At times, we are compelled to look inward – affirming our own dignity and right to security. Other times, we envision a society defined by justice and equity for all. So when we strive to be more human, how do we balance our tribal needs with our universal values?

ChaiVillageLA is a vibrant, multi-synagogue, multi-generational community that enables congregants to age in place in their own homes by providing assistance to one another and enriching each other’s lives, as part of a self-governing village supported by Jewish values.
