From the desk of Rabbi Steven Burg, AISH CEO
As we were preparing for the wedding of one of our most popular students, Will Wolfowich, we received the heartbreaking news that one of our students, Joshua Carr a’h, suddenly passed away.
We must serve as a beacon of light and goodness for our greater Jewish family. We must be the Maccabees of today and help reconnect with our fellow Jews.
Let us learn from his sacrifice to increase our love for each other and Israel. Let our voices be heard loud and clear that Jews will not be intimidated into leaving Israel.
“With AISHVision 2030, I know exactly where you are headed. Will you get there? I don’t know for sure but given Aish’s track record, I would certainly not bet against it.” In fact, he added, “I am clearly betting on your success.”
We must engage Jewish women all around the world. Women are and have always been key to the success of the Jewish nation.
We must reach out to every Jew around the world and make sure they know that we are one family and we will always be there for each other.
One of the questions I constantly get asked as I travel around the world is: “Are things really as good at Aish as your emails seem?”
As the second mourning period of thirty days comes to a close, I want to share a glimpse of my father with all of you.

Each and every week for the last six years I pour my heart and soul into letting all of you know what is going on at Aish. I try to give you a window into my travels and the incredible things I see among the Jewish people. There is nothing more enjoyable for me than to receive emails back from Jews around the world commenting on my weekly email.
I spent a few days earlier this week in Cleveland. In the 90’s, I spent a tremendous amount of time in Cleveland as I worked with Jewish teens in the Midwest regional area. As my travels played out in the past decade, I just never made it back to my old stomping grounds.
As an organization that has existed for over 45 years, Aish has impacted millions of Jews. In the course of any given week, I meet so many folks who tell me how Aish has genuinely made a difference in their lives and those of their families.

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.
