A Prayer in the Face of Hurricane Harvey Ribbono Shel Olam, Creator of All, Too often we face destruction, loss, and broken-ness. Too often we are reminded that we control so little.

Please God, as the flood waters rise in Texas help us remember that to be Jewish is to be compassionate, help us remember our mission to repair the world, help us to be a light in this time of darkness. And let us say, Amen A Message from Rabbi Gideon…
