Torah Portion: Chukat
Message from The Rabbi Parshat Chukat: Yehuda Bauer once said, “Thou shalt not be a victim, thou shalt not be a perpetrator, but, above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.” What does this week's Torah portion tell us about being a bystander and our obligation to stand up for others in light of events and ethical controversies currently raging in the U.S.? Watch my weekly video for an insight on this question VIEW HERE for my weekly video. Shabbat Shalom!

MORE THAN I LOVE MY LIFE
BY BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE, DAVID GROSSMAN
More Than I Love My Life is the story of three strong women: Vera, age ninety; her daughter, Nina; and her granddaughter, Gili, who at thirty-nine is a filmmaker and a wary consumer of affection. A bitter secret divides each mother and daughter pair, though Gili--abandoned by Nina when she was just three--has always been close to her grandmother. More Than I Love My Life was inspired by the true story of one of David Grossman's longtime confidantes, a woman who, in the early 1950s, was held on the notorious Goli Otok ("the Adriatic Alcatraz"). With flashbacks to the stalwart Vera protecting what was most precious on the wretched rock where she was held, and Grossman's fearless examination of the human heart, this swift novel is a thrilling addition to the oeuvre of one of our greatest living novelists, whose revered moral voice continues to resonate around the world.
