Rabbi Bradley G. Levenberg
Thinking about the year coming to a close is an opportunity to consider the role that faith has played in our lives. Sure, we may have turned in to our faith…and we may have turned away. We may have witnessed scenes that challenge our belief in a good and caring God…and we may have witnessed acts that renew our understanding that we are indeed God’s instruments for good in this world.
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. As we feel our way along this unexpected journey, may we help one another hold onto our faith—our faith in God, in one another, in the world God created and called good. Abraham and Sarah stepped out into the invisible future, and so do we, every day. May the vision of a world we have heard in our sacred text, practiced in our rituals and shared with each other—a world in which everyone’s humanity is reverenced and cherished, in which we all take responsibility for the common good—be the contagion that spreads and keeps spreading.
