Does God give out penalties and rewards? What difference do our actions make in life and in our world?

She competed for Israel on the world stage, including the US Open and Wimbledon juniors. Her story is “about the unifying power of a game, a mother’s vision, and the endless possibilities when we pursue what we love.”

As a rabbi, he served Reform congregations in the U.S. and Central America. A master translator, he served as national education director for BBYO in Washington, DC. He is the author of books about prayer, the Bible, the Holocaust, and the State of Israel.
