<div>Since I can sometimes be critical of organizations (not here where I usually manage not to say anything negative [HT – My Mom ZLL“HH – “If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything]), I want to give a shout out to the OU Fall Jewish Action.</div>
<div>1.) Moshe Baine poses the two questions I use as an individual/community test (i) How often do we factor God into our daily decisions, both large and small? [Me – how central is the Ratzon Hashem in our lives?] (ii) What are we prepared to “give up” to
comply with what we perceive as God’s wishes? [Me – does God always seem to agree with what you want?] 2.) Allen Fagin asks “whether we as a community view Yishuv Haaretz as a basic tenet of our spiritual aspirations? [Me – Tell me how often it’s discussed
or how many folks yearn (while we’re at it, how many really yearn for the Beit Hamikdash?)] </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now what do we do as a community and as individuals about any perceived shortfalls in these two areas is an old Avodah question but maybe it is gaining traction?</div>
