This evening is Yom Kippur. I've been focused on preparing, alongside work and the usual.
Though there are still 3 hours to go, I can already feel the day settling down, the world coming to a halt.
Yes, there is still war; there is still news; there is still traffic, here.
But something in the spirit is still.
This year, I'm praying not just for my own forgiveness, but for mercy for a friend who finds himself in trouble.
I'm also praying for those who seek love to find it.
And the election... that's up to us.
Have an easy and meaningful fast.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
