Jerusalem • You probably read about it. There were several earthquakes in northern Israel last week, and an Orthodox member of the Knesset accused Reform and Conservative Jews of causing them. In particular, it was our pressing for egalitarian prayer at the Western Wall that did the trick.
That was me and my colleagues. And we will keep doing it.
Let me tell you about the earthquake. It didn’t happen the way most earthquakes happen. It has been quieter, and subtler, than your standard earthquake. But it’s an earthquake nevertheless.
I am now in Israel, studying at the Shalom Hartman Institute, also known as Rabbi Summer Camp.
