Why a Blog?

Washington Hebrew Congregation is a large and diverse community, and we are always looking for new ways to enhance the Jewish life and learning of our members. What will you find here?

• Food for thought: Torah, ethics, philosophy, history…
• Commentary on events in the Jewish world and the local Jewish community
• Links to important(/fun?) Jewish articles, websites, etc.
• Discussion of life at Washington Hebrew Congregation

Are you a college student or out-of-town member? Visit often and stay connected. Too busy for regular adult study? Visit often for Jewish enrichment. Not sure if a blog is a good idea? Visit often and we’ll all find out together.

My commitment to you: This blog will be updated frequently. You’ll be hearing from me a lot. As the blog gains momentum, our other rabbis, cantors, staff, and lay leadership may share their thoughts as well.

One more thing… Perhaps the greatest asset of a blog is the potential for open discussion. Please use the “comments” button below to become part of the conversation. Comments will be moderated, but anything appropriate will be posted quickly. For online safety, I recommend identifying yourself with first name and last initial (e.g., Noah F.) To start, I’ll give you a topic: What issues/topics would you like to see addressed in future blog posts?

As always, any non-public feedback can be sent directly to me at nfabricant "at" whctemple "dot" org. Let the experiment begin.
