From the desk of Rabbi Steven Burg, AISH CEO
Much love from Israel. Although I am working at Aish, most of the country is on vacation. It is fascinating to see the hotels that are usually packed with tourists filled with Israelis who have chosen not to travel abroad this summer due to Covid-19.
Aish positioned itself at the planetary wellspring of spirituality by design. Our job is to facilitate inspiration to all.
The week leading up to the day of Tisha B’Av is always the saddest time in the Jewish calendar. It marks the commemorative date that both Jewish Temples were destroyed two thousand years ago.
It is always amazing how quickly time flies. This past week marked six years since I started working at Aish.
I have had many conversations with members of the Aish family around the world about their experiences of the trauma of Covid-19.
A busy week in Jerusalem, including the Dan Family Aish World Center, and visiting with students, families, and political friends.
Aish must teach, promote, instruct, convey, inculcate and engrave on every Jew’s heart the concept of responsibility. My friends, don’t wait for others to lead. You are all leaders.
Although the terrorist missiles have ceased to drop in Israel, the bombs of antisemitism have started to explode around the world.
