Everyday is Christmas in Habitat, and Hannukkah and a holy day…no question..
With homes being built..volunteers helping, Tikkum elum comes out yesterday a youth group..how do we start, how do we move ahead, where do we begin…oh this was the flood area they ask..youth in action, Years ago a friend shared with me about "TO HEAL THE WORLD." Like climbing Jacobs ladder..moving up daily to make the world a better place.. Hebrew in word, loving in theology..like Abraham Heschel or Mother Teresa, who I met in her lifetime. We are all called to heal the world daily…to change it, to be agents of change with love and community building, be in our church or synagogue..or in our temple or company, or in our home or on the street…you will be amazed if daily you start with a little Prayer, Lord let me change the world for a better place today…that is why each of us is here on earth..
In Habitat we believe it comes in the form of safe warm, clean decent simple homes. For families, working together, like a big Kibbutz,, like a Communidad de Base..like a company on a team building mission to drive profits, only in this case prophetically…so join us this holiday season..to me coming from the term Holy…for the next ten days, I am calling the ten days of Christmas I ask you to join in Healing the world..sacrificing, or fasting…and to make a commitment to help our mission that much more….with a dollar, with a hammer, with a window, with a day volunteering…remember our families..this Dec 18th we have our Holiday Party at New Rochelel high school for our families, all helping us and coming to join us….even some New Orleans families..so join us..God bless you!!!!!!!with gratitude.
