    Rediscover the Journey: A New Look at Naomi, the Rabbi’s Wife

    We are thrilled to share a brand-new book trailer for Miriam Finesilver’s captivating spiritual romance, Naomi, the Rabbi’s Wife.

    For those who haven’t yet met Naomi, she is an aspiring New York City actress whose soaring career is derailed by an unexpected pregnancy. Pressured into a heartbreaking choice, she finds that what was promised as freedom instead leaves a deep wound in her heart. Her subsequent search for peace and forgiveness leads her to the synagogue, where the unexpected happens: she meets and falls in love with Daniel, a young rabbi.

    They call it b’sheirt—the fingerprints of divine providence. But as Naomi builds a new life as a rabbi’s wife, the haunting nightmares of her past refuse to cease. Her desperate search for true healing eventually brings her to to make a phone call answering a TV ad, leading to a profound spiritual awakening that holds the power to save her soul, but threatens to tear her marriage apart.

    Whether you are returning to Naomi’s story or discovering it for the first time, this new trailer perfectly captures her emotional quest from the theater stage to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.

    Idea Summary: Empathy

    From the book The God of the Growing Edge

    Empathy plays a crucial role in social change by fostering understanding, compassion, and connection among individuals and communities. Here are some key points on the role of empathy in social change:

    1. Understanding Others’ Experiences: Empathy allows individuals to understand and share the feelings of others, particularly those who are marginalized or oppressed. This understanding is essential for recognizing the injustices and challenges faced by different groups.
    2. Building Compassion: Empathy cultivates compassion, motivating people to take action to alleviate the suffering of others. Compassionate individuals are more likely to engage in social activism and support policies that promote equality and justice.
    3. Creating Connection: Empathy helps build connections between diverse groups by highlighting common human experiences and emotions. These connections can bridge divides and foster solidarity, which is vital for collective action and social movements.
    4. Inspiring Advocacy: When people empathize with the struggles of others, they are more likely to advocate for change. Empathy-driven advocacy can lead to the development of inclusive policies and practices that address the needs of all community members.
    5. Promoting Non-Violence: Empathy encourages non-violent approaches to social change by emphasizing understanding and dialogue over conflict and aggression. Empathetic individuals are more likely to seek peaceful solutions to social issues.
    6. Enhancing Leadership: Empathetic leaders are better equipped to understand the needs and concerns of their constituents. This understanding enables them to make informed decisions that benefit the broader community and drive positive social change.
    7. Encouraging Inclusivity: Empathy promotes inclusivity by recognizing and valuing the diverse experiences and perspectives of all individuals. Inclusive practices are essential for creating equitable and just societies.

    In summary, empathy is a foundational element of social change, as it drives individuals to understand, connect with, and advocate for others. By fostering empathy, we can create a more compassionate and just world.

    Discussion Ahead SignLast night I had the privilege of discussing these topics with Thomas Hudgins. Thomas has just turned in his dissertation dealing with the manuscripts used in the production of the Complutensian Polyglot, and he discusses the relationship of this text to some other manuscripts as well as some of its history.
    During the second half of the program we discussed discipleship, or rather other words we could use to describe the process of training. Thomas centers his idea of training around the Great Commission and proposes a focus on mentoring, especially couples mentoring couples.
