Haverim,
This is the last of the weekly messages for the Omer to Honor The Earth. One week from tonight will be Shavuot, the destination of our 49 days of counting, and the occasion for an all-night fun and learning event, which is described in Bet Mail.
This Friday night in the Erev Shabbat service led by Gayanne Geurin Weiss, the d'var will be an open discussion looking back on the Omer to Honor the Earth. Please come with your reflections on the experience. Did the Genesis text move you in a new way? Did the project - together with heightened attention to the Earth in the media recently - lead you toward any new committments? Hope to see you then.

Perhaps the “six days of creation” story is in the Torah to show that taking rest each week is a built-in part of the world, as natural as sun, plants, and animals. Our present world seems to worship speed. People inspired to do good work suffer frequent burnout. Going outside to soak up the perfection of nature allows us to take a breath of rest and sayrecognize the Creation as “Kitov Tovmeod” (that(very it is good). More…
