After the CERL Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service, which was a glorious evening for all who participated, I was asked to write an op-ed piece to contrast our coming together with the violence in the Middle East, specifically in Israel and Gaza. There was something very powerful about having  a Muslim offer the Arabic call to worship on our Jewish bimah while the church bells of Holy Trinity were sounding and our own shofar was being blasted. I am delighted that the ceasefire in Israel appears to be holding. I pray that it continues to do so.

Here is the correct link to the op-ed piece.
