Everything is possible / It is not too late

This weekend Josh and I are going on a RRC shabbaton (a sabbath getaway). This is one of several trips arragned for us by RRC, but the theme is the same: education and coexistence. 

RRC is concerned with educating rabbis about many things, and perhaps one of the most important is social justice. There is no better place to learn about social justice than in Israel -- a place where some would argue there is actually very little of it. BUT, having spent the better part of the year here I have a lot of hope that one day Israel will be known as a place of coexistence, and I think the destination of our shabbaton is a place where that can begin: The Ein - Shemer Environmental Greenhouse, a place where Israeli and Palestinian teens come together to work on environmental and arts projects. 

The video below explains the founding and goals of this unique place.
