Weekly Seven Minute Torah podcast by Rabbi Micah Streiffer:

Making modern meaning from ancient texts! Each week Rabbi Micah Streiffer discusses the weekly Torah portion in about 7 to 12 minutes, through liberal Jewish eyes. We weave together philosophy, spirituality, tradition, and social justice – and derive meaning for today‘s life from our sacred sources. Longer episodes include a bonus interview with leading rabbis and Jewish thought leaders. Click HERE for the Podcast

From the earliest days of Operation Rising Lion, IMPJ’s Center for Community Development (Israeli Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism) has worked with each of our congregations to map the evolving reality, assess needs, offer support, and shape recovery plans. They’ve encountered elderly members and families whose homes were damaged, some evacuated to hotels in unfamiliar cities, some already facing the certainty that they will not have a home to return to for at least a year. We are helping to locate long-term accommodations, furnish new apartments, and provide support for basic needs. Behind every request is a person, a story, a congregation, one of our communities doing its utmost to care for its members while holding fast to its spiritual and communal center.
