This journey started a while ago. No, not 5 years ago when I started taking classes with ALEPH. It started almost 50 years ago when I met with the admissions people at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical School. But then I had to navigate through all these distractions, you know, like supporting my family.

On January 9, I will be ordained as a Rabbinic Pastor, in a live, online ceremony. The end of this part of the journey is phenomenal, it is incredible. I am truly amazed. And amazement for me has a direct line to gratitude. I am so thankful for the support and encouragement received from each one of you.

In honor of this event, I will be contributing and raising funds for scholarships - please join me by making a donation to ALEPH. Thank you all.
