Rabbi Dr. Josh Joseph

Do American Jews really care?

When the sirens sound, will we hear them?

Those who live in Israel sacrifice daily for the dream of Jewish peoplehood. We in the US, who do not yet live there, have a greater obligation to demonstrate that nothing, not ideology or geographical distance, can hold us apart.

Purim 5786:

Bayamim Ha’heim Baz'man Hazeh: Victory is not yet complete

One more day of fighting, Esther begged Ahasueros. One more day of humility, she hoped. One more day of unity, she dreamed. Let us join her prayer and act upon it this year.

Fighting Fire With Fire

These are dark times for the Jewish People, but we are not without hope. And our fire will not be consumed.

OU message for the 3rd day of Hanukkah

Sometimes it's hard to see the light

It is all too easy to look around us and feel hopeless...
