Table Talk from the desk of Rabbi Alexander Seinfeld
October 27-28, 2023 • 13 Mar Cheshvan 5784 • Lech L'cha (Gen 12-17).
The purpose of this email is to let in a ray of hope at the Shabbat table... please forward/print/share.
This week's first question for your table is a question that I've heard numerous times this week.
It's also one of the toughest questions I've heard in a long time...
What do you do when you find out that someone you thought was your friend isn't really your friend?
Do you try to save the friendship or do you walk away?
How about when a place you thought was safe becomes less safe....
Question for your table: Should Jews stay or should we go?
Shabbat Shalom,
