Enjoy the Month!
Hi Everyone,
Like I wrote in my previous post, Here to Be us, I’m leaving on Sunday (3/16) for a month of Miluim, reserve duty in the Israeli Army.
I will therefore be taking a month’s break from Unpacked.
For a special treat, I’ve invited a very special teacher of mine, Rabbi Simcha Frischling, founder and director of Call of the Shofar to write guest posts for Unpacked while I’m away.
Call of the Shofar is an organization that offers workshops and weekly follow-up groups which explore Torah principles of relationship which, when applied, encourage individual wellbeing, relational health, and experiences of the greater symphony we are all a part of.
I’m very honored to have Simcha write for Unpacked. I have been involved with “Shofar” for over a year now, and my life- My relationships, my approach to being Jewish, my approach to myself, my approach really to everything, has been impacted in such a powerful and positive way. So much of what I have written on Unpacked has been in some way inspired by my experience with Shofar. If I’ve had a conversation with you in the past year and a half, chances are that a good chance of what I said- I learned from Shofar.
I feel so much thanks towards Simcha, to Benzion and the rest of the Shofar family. I hope you enjoy! (I know I can’t wait to read Simcha’s posts when I come home).
I feel very fortunate to have written for Unpacked for the last two and a half months and I thank all of you very much for unpacking with me. The army’s an intense thing- I’m sure I’ll have tons to Unpack with when I come home.
For now, enjoy the month, and enjoy Simcha’s writing. I can’t wait to return!
Thanks again,
Yannai
