Inspiring messages from the President of the Board of Trustees of the Isaac M. Wise Temple, the birthplace of Reform Judaism in America. These weekly "musings" will call you to action, think and reflect on the meaning of family, holidays, times past and future, consider the current plight of Jews in the world, and perhaps even make you laugh and smile. Born out of the desire to say more each week other than simple congregational announcements, these musings became a therapeutic exercise of the author, and these messages were so well received by the congregation that they are being published here.
