in judaism, we have this idea that obligation comes before analysis. and there's lots of stuff that you do just because you have to do it and then you sort of figure out the why of it. we have, i think at the last count, something like 6,800 homeless people in the district, not to mention a huge problem with youth homelessness here. we don't have nearly enough beds for teens and youth who are homeless on the street. we live, we work downtown. this is our spiritual community. on some level it would just be pretty egregious of us not to get involved. basically torah, which is both for our holiest book and the assembled vast collection of jewish wisdom, torah, torah is human dignity. and if it's not human dignity, it's not torah. the idea of being able to feed those who haven't been fed, to clothe the naked, and to house the homeless, um, i think is probably the spiritual apex of what the torah is trying to teach. everybody here is gifted with a soul that was fashioned in god's image which is to say of divine eternal worth, of a worth that can't ever be t
