Through the Looking Glass

October 4, 2024

“Glass is not fragile in all ways just because it is fragile in one way,” says Rabbi Rena Rifkin, reflecting on her recent visit to the Corning Museum of Glass. And like glass, the Jewish community has shown tremendous resilience throughout history. “We have survived not only because of our strength, but because we have learned how to adapt to best fit the needs of our people,” she says. This new year, may we “truly take notice of our own people and all that we can offer to one another and the world.”
