There was one in the lobby behind a glass case, which was the Holocaust Torah.

So decades ago, we have Holocaust survivors here in the congregation, and they had worked to get a Torah that was from Prague that was damaged during the Holocaust.

And it was on display in our congregation as a reminder of never again.

And that one was able to be salvaged, yes.

The one thing that keeps getting me, keeps making me weep is music and

I'm playing some of these Jewish songs that I really haven't listened to in a long time.

And one of them is this song called Kehillah Kadoshah, which means holy community.

and how each of us really must work.

It's holy work, but we have to work to maintain a Jewish congregation, to maintain Jewish life.

We have to put in the work to make this world a better place.

And whether that's our Jewish community, or it's the entire faith community of Jackson, or it's the world, it is up to us.

It is up to us.

And I feel that more than ever.

I really do this week.

Thank you, Sarah.
