Before his passing, Moses spoke to the Jewish people about what their lives would look like once they would enter the land of Israel. Moses did not only speak to them in Hebrew, he also translated the Torah into the 70 languages of the original 70 nations of the world.
By doing so, Moses instituted the possibility for Torah thought to be communicated in different figurative “languages” as well. For people of all backgrounds, lifestyles, communities, and even generations; Torah, can and must be translated to the “languages” of their understanding. Simply put: The timeless lessons of Torah need to be packaged and communicated in a way that people can relate to.
This very idea was my inspiration for launching a new weekly series on Facebook Live called: “What’s Your Story?”
On this platform, I look forward to inviting notable Houston individuals to ‘share their story’ in 30 minutes, while incorporating meaningful and life-enriching ideas, with a Jewish twist. Through compelling ‘interview style’ dialogue and personal anecdotes on life, family, business and how to make a difference, this program is sure to inform, uplift and inspire a wide audience across the community.
