Rabbis Ethan Witkovsky and Ethan Linden discuss Deuteronomy as a book looking to create an idealized society. In this regard, it is similar to synagogues and summer camps, which also try to create a rubric for the holiest society. The rabbis discuss what goes into creating these “plausibility structures” and what the average Jew gets out of them.

Over the course of our history, we’ve gone from the moon landing to shuttering the space program; from the destruction of the Temple to the creation of a new religion. Do we reach for the stars or keep our feet on the ground? Each day brings new possibilities and a new chance to choose our direction.

On December 13, 1975, during a Shabbat service honoring the Sisterhood (a predecessor of the Women's Network), the Honorable Bella Abzug addressed the PAS congregation with "A View From the Congress." These remarks included her thoughts on Israel and the Middle East, Soviet Jewry, Women's Rights, concerns of poverty, and the aftermath of Watergate. We honor her memory this week on what would have been her 100th birthday (July 24). We hope you enjoy this piece of PAS history.
