As we begin the story of the Exodus from Egypt, I reflect on the value of telling stories, of passing on our heritage and traditions, and how this can help us make our way through challenging times.

As we head into another challenging New Year, I offer a message of hope and a reflection on the nature of openminded faith in this week’s parsha video. May we all be blessed with strength and good health in the months ahead.

“I don’t speak Russian well!” This week for my weekly Parsha video I discuss the power of names, of change and of holding on to our past.
