G-d blesses “the great sea monsters, and every living creature that crawls, with which the waters swarmed, according to their kind, and every winged fowl.” G-d blesses them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply,” P’ru urvru.

…titute at Qibbutz Qetura just north of Eilat. More accustomed to meeting researchers and graduate students than rabbis, retired home builders and bar mitzva boys, she gave us a close-up and technical tour of her attempts to figure out what you can do that is socially productive and economically feasible with basically a lot of sun, sand and salty soil.

…teens, and their families are looking forward to a busy fall at BEKI. This season brings a mix of old and new, as the community returns to favorite traditions that weren’t possible last year, while finding new ways to connect, serve the world, and have fun.

…d 1% at six months. People who study resilience point out that there are a number of factors that can predict how well someone will handle severe trauma. These come from studies of hospitalized survivors of motor vehicle accidents, combat veterans, people who lived through the Los Angeles riots, the Oklahoma City bombings and many other tragedies.

…hel was the major force in bringing us to join BEKI, since so many of her classmates attended here. And BEKI immediately clicked with Joanne as well. She took an alef-bet class with Ellen Jawitz, borrowed Siddur Sim Shalom, and began painstakingly to learn.
