Share the Fire Within You

In gratitude for sharing 25 years with Chisuk Emuna Congregation and the Greater Harrisburg Community, I present you with a gift and a challenge.

The Fire Within Us is a gift of Torah/wisdom/guidance written by some of my teachers/colleagues/family.

The Fire Within Us is a challenge and an invitation for all of us to discern and manifest our unique sparks.

Holy words are written on parchments and in books. They come alive in the thoughts and actions of open-hearted people, like the writers in this project and like you.

Together, may we study, pray and work to repair the world.

Thank you!
