Rabbi Michael Hecht |
What’s it like to be
a rabbi? Amid the ever-evolving demands on a rabbi’s
time, one thing remains: The job is to implant
Jewish values. Sometimes the task seems
overwhelming. And yet, the words and deeds of rabbis
(and of every human being!) do have an effect that
is sometimes felt years later. These days, often
enough, people stop to tell me that something I said
or did profoundly changed them. That’s the reward of
the rabbinate n and it’s a big one! Image copyright Herbert Ascherman © 2008
