[My Shul Called Life @RogueShul]

Remember when we stood together at Sinai... 6 feet apart to receive Torah and immediately wiped it down with Clorox wipes? #shavuot

@RogueShul Hahaha

[Susan Caro @bitofspirit]

@RogueShul @accantors Thanks!

[Susan Caro @bitofspirit]

@RogueShul Thank you-we are all in this together! ( and thank you for all the prepped rooms and supplies, especially when we forget to ask) :)

Omer 46: Learning In Order To Act (Lomeid al m’nat la’asot)

Study that leads to action - being learned is insufficient if we don’t use that learning to act to improve the world around us.

Prayer: Save one life; save the world.

Shavua tov!

Omer 43: Asking and Answering (Sho-ayl u’meishiv)

Questioning involves great concentration, opening up our minds and hearts to inquiry. Answering spurs the exchange of ideas. Both are critical to acquiring a life of wisdom.

Prayer: Ask a good question each day.

[Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation @NVHCReston]

Join us to celebrate Shabbat with our graduating seniors tonight at 6 pm! As they move on from high school, we hope that they never stop learning, explore their Judaism as much as they can, and come back and visit us soon!

Shabbat shalom everyone!

Omer 41: Setting Others on the Path of Peace (Ma’amido al haShalom)

Without inner peace, a person is anxious, confused, and hurting. Without communal peace, each person is isolated, separate, and detached. Without global peace, our world will remain in pieces...

[Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation @NVHCReston]

Omer 40: Setting Others on the Path of Truth (Ma’amido al haEmet)

We have to be a willing model of being set by others on a path of truth. As we become a living model, we help others open toward their own truth.

Prayer: Live truthfully, to hold life dearly.

[Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation @NVHCReston]

Omer 39: Judging Others Favorably (Machrio l’chaf z’chut)

Give everyone the benefit of the doubt. You never really understand another person until you consider things from that person’s point of view.

Prayer: Give the benefit of the doubt.

Omer 38: Sharing The Burden With A Friend (Nosei b’ol im chaveiro)

When we are able to help shoulder someone else’s burden, we gain a perspective and openness toward kindness. When we allow in help, we see acknowledge the truth of our humanity...

[Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation @NVHCReston]

Omer 37 Not Delighting in Rendering Decisions (Eino sameyach b’hora’ah)

Pay careful attention to those times when you are asked to participate in making a decision that will affect others. You might be standing in their shoes one day.

Prayer: Do not delight in another’s burden.

[Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation @NVHCReston]

one saying, "For my sake the world was created," and the other, "I am nothing but dirt and ashes." Whenever we are overcome by feelings of pride, he said, we should read the paper with the words, "I am nothing but dirt and ashes."...

[Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation @NVHCReston]

Omer 35: Distancing Yourself From Honor (Mitracheik min hakavod)

Judaism teaches that honor cannot be acquired by one who pursues it. In fact, it is taught that if you pursue honor, it will actually flee from you. Spend your energy honoring others and it will come back to you.

[Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation @NVHCReston]

Omer 34: Loving Reproof (Ohev et Hatochachot)

It is easy to give criticism, hard to accept it. We are called to put spiritual growth above ego, so long as it is corrective and constructive.

Prayer: My mistakes are my greatest teachers.
