A few weeks ago I helped my friend Linor lead the Big Q conversations at Hillel during shabbat for the non-Jews. The leading question was “Who is the Other”, this could be a question of identity in any sense of the word. Religiously tackling the question during our planning was interesting. Linor is a secular […]

How often do we ignore the issues facing others when we only think of ourselves? Why do we do this to others and to ourselves? The city of Jerusalem has been claimed by both Israeli’s and Palestinians the capital of each nation; however, it is not internationally recognized in any nations favor. The old city […]

Birth. Family. Brotherhood. Pain. Suffering. Struggle. Life. Who is our god when we our born? Our sustainer, provider, guide, that which we fear, that we which we respect, and that which we love.

Everyone suffers from addiction at some point in their life. That sounds a little crazy and shocking, but everyone at some point becomes addicted to a substance, idea, or entity; however, it does not need to be negative. Personally, I grew up in an area where drugs were around, but they weren’t the only thing. […]

The one thing I want to do with my life is make for certain that it is a much better place when I leave it than it was when I was breathed into it. It sounds a bit cheesy, but I want to save the world. I want to be the change I wish to […]

Last week I felt blessed. It was the first meeting for the Boston Bridges Fellowship Program, a program designed to create relationships between religious and communal leaders throughout the Greater Boston area. There were twelve Fellows and amongst them six Christians, two Rabbis, two Muslims, one Hindu, and one Baha’i. Coming from a community where […]

I am not supposed to be here. I’m about to start my fourth year as an undergrad and I’m a Junior, I should probably clarify that I’m also a transfer. But really, I’m not supposed to be here. I was born pre-maturely at six months with a few complications that could’ve taken the life of […]
