I’m a rabbi from Pittsburgh. The way to help our community is to act.; The Washington Post, November 2, 2018

Mark Asher Goodman, The Washington Post; I’m a rabbi from Pittsburgh. The way to help our community is to act.

"Judaism is a religion of action. We are commanded in so many places by our Torah to do something; to do justice; to care for the stranger, the widow, and the orphan; to tend for the sick; to free the captive; to build a world of lovingkindness. We are commanded to “not stand idly by the blood of our neighbor.” Our most central figure is Moses, who reacted to a great massacre against children with action.

So here’s how to help: Do something."
