36/40
From the desk of Rabbi Brian


 

Here’s a wonderful Chassidic quote:

I am afraid of things that cannot harm me, and I know it.
I yearn for things that cannot help me, and I know it.
What I fear is within me, and within me too, is what I seek.

How true, how true.
I fear things that I know aren’t really things to be afraid of.   I hope for things to help me that I know can’t help.   And, I know that the answers are pretty simple, if I would just get to that point.
I suggest that you take the time to type or write out the above quote. (Writing will
activate different parts of your brain than reading or
cutting-and-pasting do.)
Spiritual-religious advice this week: Contemplate your fears and how you deal with them.


 

With love,

Rabbi Brian

Wastefully

April 9, 2026

  Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong would answer the question “how shall we express love?” with a single word: “Wastefully.”    ✧✧✧   We don’t express love wastefully.

“I love you” x 3

April 1, 2026

For reasons a team of psychoanalysts might have been able to crack, my dad couldn’t get the three-word phrase “I love you” to come out of his mouth. I knew he loved us. It’s just he couldn’t say it. I rationalized that I didn’t need to hear those three words, but it hurt anyway. This is the story about how
