Description

It’s all about the Light.  As a kid growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, winters were severe and seemingly endless. Serial snowstorms, single digit temperatures above and below zero. November through March and often most of April were dreary, dark, and depressing. The worst of it all I realize now, wasn’t the daily challenges brought by winter weather: shoveling the driveway from apron to garage (120 feet. I know because half of that driveway served as a pitching mound during the summer months). There was also the nightly nuisance of helping neighbors push their cars up their driveways Of course, it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Each week, a member of the clergy offers their personal perspective on a topic of their choice, such as the week's Torah portion, a Jewish holiday, ritual, custom, or history.
