I've come to discover over the last 5
years, both through Corona and then the
war with Israel, that there are people
who live in communities where their
rabbi
has said or participated in things that
makes them just feel I I don't connect
anymore.
Um and therefore I don't want to go to
them about my personal things if I don't
connect to the way that they're
interpreting more global things.
And they feel lonely, even within a
community, even paying a membership,
even showing up in shul, they feel they
feel lonely and and bereft of
leadership. I think that's important
feedback for about a month to give your
rabbis cuz I know again we have to
continue to remind ourselves that we're
not talking to rabbis. But I don't know
if this is what you're alluding to, but
if a rabbi is going to get up and and
make some very, you know, partisan
political partisan comments from the
pulpit, that may unintentionally or
maybe intentionally marginalize certain
individuals. If that's how you're
feeling in shul, whether he's making
comments about politics or anything, I
think in respectful ways rabbis would
appreciate that sort of feedback. I
would. Um
worst case scenario is he won't listen.
He'll He'll dismiss it, but if he does
take it to heart, I love critical
feedback. I don't get enough of it. I
love it. And then we can adjust. And
then we can say, you know, maybe my
messaging on global issues is is having
the unintended consequence of making
people feel that I'm not relatable or
they can't connect with me. That would
be a terrible price to pay.
