"When I started working as a virtual rabbi over a decade ago, the Internet wasn’t the behemoth it is today. There was no Facebook. There was no YouTube. People were hanging around in online forums and Yahoo groups, asking questions about Jewish beliefs and customs. At the time I was a rabbinical student with a clear project: I wanted to help people who found themselves in the same situation that I did."
We have been so fortunate to have so many of Clal's RWBs share their Torah with us during this time of crisis, that we have compiled it into one "Source Sheet" for you to read and share.
We hope that you all have a meaningful Passover, shared with those you cherish. We wish for you good health and nourishing connections - however virtual they may be. We are grateful to the soulful words of Torah shared with us by Clal's rabbis, and we hope that they inspire you during this time.
