Hmmmm...

Saw via a friend on Facebook that a group of Rabbis from the Southern California area, around 20 of them, flew to Israel for intense conversations about how to foster more unity in the Jewish Community, especially as it relates to Israel advocacy. 

I think the time--the group will be in Israel for just a few days--- and money--they all flew on their own dime, but once there are hosted by the Israeli government--- would have been much better spent attending the first ever J Street Conference now happening in DC.  http://conference.jstreet.org/

.... if you want to create unity, then you need to listen to those among you who disagree....just sayin'...

And just like that....

...it happens. A moment of truth, of unconditional love, the gift of wisdom and compassion and forgiveness all rolled into one conversation with the one who wielded that pinpoint laser beam to open your heart and your mind in an attempt to free you from your constant creation of your own suffering.

And to think I had it all wrong...
