Pharaoh, having already suffered through seven plagues, indicates that he is ready for compromise: “Go!” He says, “…Go and worship this G-d of Rabbi Alvin Wainhaus yours!” But no sooner has he uttered those words, then he begins to backpedal, as he has done many times before: “Wait!

The first service I ever took part in at Congregation Or Please order by Shalom was the one I led at my audition 34 years ago. It was at that initial encounter with our congregation September 18 that I noticed something quite uplifting; indeed, it was something that moved me to accept the Synagogue’s offer that I serve as its spiritual leader: I saw a congregation that sought inclusiveness. Judaism, at its core, is an inherently inclusive religion. I believe that Judaism’s quintessential message, since the day we left slavery, has been: “The way the world is not the way it must remain; the world can be changed from the way it is to the way it was meant to Join us as we celebrate Simchat Torah!!! be”. It is no accident, therefore, that Jews have been in October 5, 7:00 pm the forefront of every movement for social inclusiveness in this country - equal rights for blacks, women, the disabled, gays and many more. For inclusiveness is part of the DNA of Judaism. And as Jews, it be- hooves us to continue to be in the vanguard of the movement toward social inclusiveness. I believe this is exactly what G-d meant by the words: “Go forth, Abraham… and be a blessing to the world!”
