Rabbi Drorah Setel’s Jan 13 Message
Rabbi Drorah Setel writes: “The wonderful serendipity of Jewish and other calendars interacting frequently produces interesting juxtapositions: Thanksgiving and Hanukkah, Hiroshima Day and Tisha b’Av, Ramadan and Sukkot. This year Tu b’Shevat and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day both fall on Monday, Jan 16. The connection between the environment and the civil rights movement may not seem obvious at first but even in his own lifetime, Dr. King perceived that the values underlying racism were also those threatening to destroy our planet….”
