Greetings!
Commencement means graduation. It also means 'beginning'.
As we salute our graduates, we know they understand their commencement isn't the end. It's really a stepping stone towards even greater accomplishments in the future.
The Torah compares a human being to a tree. Unlike mammals, trees never stop growing, they never reach a place where they level out and plateau. Humans too are designed to continue to grow, spiritually, emotionally, mentally throughout life.
Mazel tov graduates! We're SO proud of your accomplishments! Keep it up!
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Shalom M Paltiel
P.S. If your child graduated, please send us the info and photo for mention in future newsletters.

Judaism Doesn't Turn You On?
By: Rabbi Aron Moss | Sydney, Australia
Question: Judaism doesn't do it for me. I've been there done that - I was star pupil at the bar mitzvah class of my temple, spent my teenage years at a Zionist youth group, did the Israel thing after high school, even took Judaic Studies in college, but after all that nothing has turned me on. What do you say to people like me who simply are not inspired by Judaism?

 The Female Estate
Traditionally, the linear, male method of "conquering the land" has been perceived as superior and more effective. But the daughters of Tzelafchad realized that there will come a time when humanity will evolve to a more feminine mode of conquest . . . |

 What Do We Do About the Relationship Crisis?
Genuine love not only respects the individuality of the other, but actually seeks to cultivate it. Love, like the act of creation, is the courageous act of creating space for the presence of the other. |
