Rabbi Susan Leider offers us a challenge:
In the fast-moving game of #Jewishgeography, you make connections with who you don’t know, by connecting through who you do know.
But does the game really serve us well?

We learn from Bex Stern Rosenblatt of @FuchsbergC4CJ (CY) on the Haftarah of Parashat #Vayera:
"We read the story of Elisha passing by the house of a big deal woman and her husband in Shunem...

All the more so drinking alcohol (that is called Beer) is definitely prohibited.
Tea and coffee are permitted to drink before prayer in order that one will be able to intent their mind."

We learn from Ilana Kurshan of @FuchsbergC4CJ (The CY) on Parashat Vayera:
"Perhaps God recognizes that to destroy Sodom outright would be to ignore the lesson of the flood, namely that justice must be tempered...

And so God “checks” the divine tendency for strict justice by consulting with a human being."

We learn from Ilana Kurshan of @FuchsbergC4CJ on Parashat #LechLecha:
Parashat Lech Lecha depicts an acute marital crisis between Abraham and Sarah that takes place at a particularly difficult moment in their lives.
Let's unpack this in a long thread.

We aspire to speak the true desires of our hearts and to listen deeply to one another in the hope that our intimate relationships—far from requiring divine intercession—might be blessed, instead, with the indwelling of the divine presence.
