Get your head in the stars
Imagine unlimited streaming with no monthly fee. That’s basically what stargazing is. The summer skies are filled with planets, stars and constellations, many visible without a telescope. And astronomer Dean Regas says, ironically, it can help ground us. Here are some tips on getting started. |

A moment of reflection with Rabbi Shoshanah Conover
A beloved rabbi was fond of quoting the fortune cookie prediction: “May you live in interesting times.” Yet our current circumstances will not have the last word on our Jewish year 5780. Instead, how we choose to respond to these circumstances will have the ultimate say. Viktor Frankl, having endured unimaginable conditions, wrote: “It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us... Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.” It is up to each one of us, together with others in our great Chicago community to respond to the extraordinary challenges of our day—Chazak v’amatz—with strength and courage.
Rabbi Shoshanah Conover, Temple Sholom of Chicago |
