January? Really? Weren’t we just in the summer? I really have been so blessed to have been able to spend these past 6 months with you. We have prayed together; we have cried together; we have celebrated together. And, there is so much more to come.
Every morning, right after I wake up, after my eyes have adjusted to the light, I think about all of the blessings I have in my life. There are times, however, I find my mind wandering and reflecting on the times in my life in which I may have questioned God’s existence. I think of the death of my mom or of my best friend Mike Massing. I think of the funerals (too many) I have officiated as a rabbi – in all 3 congregations I have served. You see – even rabbis question God. Even rabbis argue with God. It’s ok – why? Simple: even in our disagreements or arguments with God, we are relating to God.
