As we are approaching the year anniversary of the attacks on October 7, we should think about the ways we can create space to support our community members and Jewish professional staff during the Chaggim, High Holidays, this year. We should also be thinking about the ways we can be compassionate to ourselves as well as others.
Rabbi Hillel used to say: If I am not for me, who will be for me? And when I am for myself alone, what am I?
In other words, “If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.” – Jack Kornfield
