Each week, as I sit to write my “Marc’s Remarks,” I try to develop ideas and topics that are both thoughtful and provocative. This week, however, we have a serious challenge on our hands and our Jewish community needs to ACT NOW!
I just returned from four days in New York City following meetings with my Federation colleagues in similar-sized Jewish communities.
The news of this morning’s massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake and tsunami in Japan is unsettling to say the least.
Ever stop for a moment and think of the joy you share(d) while reading to your child at bedtime (or think back to when your parents read to you).
I hope everyone braved the “major” snow storm that fell upon the city Wednesday night/Thursday morning. It was my family's first real experience with snow in Portland –- I must admit a little different than our usual experiences with snow in Philadelphia.
