A Shabbat Message from Rabbi Max Miller
May the 4th Be with You — Happy Jewish American Heritage Month May is Jewish American heritage month. Even though Jews represent just 2% of the American population, we have had an outsized impact on our country. By all accounts, we are in a golden age of Jewish life in America. Even as we are mindful of the rising antisemitism in our country, a Jew born today in America has a better chance to find meaning, purpose, and success here than at any time, anywhere on earth, except, of course, for the modern state of Israel.
