My rabbi was on fire for Erev Rosh Hashanah. He is ordinarily an optimist, but he urged vigilance because we now live in dangerous times for Jews in the United States. He said it is important to call out anti-Semitism no matter where it comes from—left or right. Wise words.
My rabbi also said he considered Aliyah (immigration to Israel) when he was young in the '60s, and while there was "pull" from Israel, there was no "push" from the US. Today, he's not so sure. It reminded me that I still need to write my "Jewish escape plan" story.
I live in a small community in Northern Michigan, and we have a visiting rabbi who comes up once a month from Detroit to conduct services for the few Jews who live up here. Still, there was a security guard at the door.
