A Do-Over for the Israelites (July 18, 2026)
Did you ever do something you weren't pleased with and wish for a do-over? The Israelites find themselves on the cusp of entering the Promised Land 38 years after their first time there. Rabbi Koffman shares what's different this time.

Mayn Shtetele Belz
This song evokes a sense of nostalgia when the narrator asks if life is still beautiful in the village of Bessarabia: “Does the little tree grow, which I planted long ago?” A central theme in The Odyssey, the word “nostalgia” is derived from the Greek words for “homecoming” (nostos) and “ache” (algos). This longing to return to a home, either real or imagined, is powerful for Jews, especially as we approach Tisha B’Av and remember the fallen temple.
