"Hineini": Responding to Crisis with Presence and Action - Rabbi Leah Fein

Rabbi Leah Fein shares this week's parsha, Shemot, which includes the most famous story of fire in the entire Torah: the Burning Bush, where Moses answers God's call with "Hineini" ("Here I am"), signifying readiness to act in times of crisis. Rabbi Fein reflects on how this spirit of Hineini has been embodied by the the community that has come together to provide aid during the devastating fires of Los Angeles, demonstrating their presence and willingness to help. The message of hope is clear: those affected by the fires are not alone, and the road to recovery will be supported by the community's enduring commitment.Each week, a member of the clergy offers their personal perspective on a topic of their choice, such as the week's Torah portion, a Jewish holiday, ritual, custom, or history.
