Knowing When to Step Aside (Pinchas) In this portion, Moses faces the prospect of his own death. The Midrash paints a picture of him as a leader who struggles with own mortality AND cares deeply about the welfare of the people he leads. podbean.com/eas/pb-2gcs3-1…

I'm thinking about a "community of practice" for liberal/progressive Jews thinking deeply about Shabbat. We would meet monthly to study, workshop ideas, & support each other in this area. Small group; informal; maybe a 9 month cohort. Anybody interested in this kind of format?
