From barry’s iPhone X : Amazing D‚Äôvar Torah. thank you Max! From Amber Harter, Clergy Assistant (she/her/hers) : Cantor Aviva:

Our sages said: Whatever a faithful student will perceive and transmit; this is Torah.

However we find ourselves addressed by the Shofar blast of Truth; this is Torah.

Whenever we stand humbled by Eternity our hearts filled with love, our arms outstretched to lift up the fallen, free the captive, embrace the lost— this, too, is Torah.

Sinai is ever present.

Wherever we gather to seek Wisdom; However we struggle to renew the covenant, to discover the Way; Whenever we listen and hear, receive and transmit; we stand at Sinai.

08:00:36 From Amber Harter, Clergy Assistant (she/her/hers) : Rabbi Brett: Torah is a guide, a voice, a whisper of Wisdom echoing within and without.

Her mitzvot commit us to justice.

Her teachings move us to compassion.

Her stories bring us to attention that we might be present to life’s everyday wonders. May the words of Torah be pleasant in our mouths. May we and our children and our children’s children come to study Torah as a gateway to Truth and Love. May we hearken to the voice of Sinai addressing us now and here.

May we be moved to exclaim the mystery of Life revealed in the rising sun, the rustling tree, the child’s cry and the Shofar’s blast.

Blessed are those who bring Torah to our people Israel.

08:01:33 From Amber Harter, Clergy Assistant (she/her/hers) : Grandparents: Sinai calls to you as it called to Moses: establish mitzvot for your life.

Torah calls to you as it called to our people: set yourself firmly on the Way of Justice and Compassion. At this time of Bar Mitzvah you prepare to ascend the heights of Sinai within.

Yet you take with you the love and hope of past years. They will be your companions forever, as we will stand ever beside you.

08:02:11 From Amber Harter, Clergy Assistant (she/her/hers) : Sara and Jeff Weinberger: Today, the Torah is being held just as we once held you.

Yet holding on is not the way of life, and we must now begin to let you go that you may find your own way.

But we must give you more than the fact of freedom, We must give you the tools that make freedom meaningful.

Mitzvot are those tools—

the skills you will need to embrace life openly and fully.

Max, may this Tree of Life be a guide for you on your Jewish journey, And may you continue to inspire people with your dedication to mitzvot.
