Sanctifying Time. Magnifying Justice.

This deepening partnership between GLIDE and Brandeis is what I call a justice covenant: a deep, enduring, soulful and commitment between loving individuals and communities that empowers us to collectively work to heal civic and societal wounds that have festered for way too long in this blessed yet troubled city and country of ours. When we gather together regularly, when see the Tzelem Elohim, the Image of God in one another’s eyes, we can’t help but remember that we need each other and that we are in this holy+healing work together.

Rabbi’s Story of Rwandan Orphans Finding Love and Acceptance

As we celebrate Black History Month at GLIDE,  a journey I took last year to Rwanda with other faith leaders keeps coming to mind. The purpose of the trip was to learn how to heal from mass trauma  by studying Rwanda’s history. We were students of the art and science of peace, resilience and transformational justice.
