Been kind of a stressful week at work. Daylight savings time. Full moon. Friday the 13th. Then they threw in coronavirus. Luckily I have Girl Scout troop 76932 from @NoviOrchardHill supporting me.

I don't need thoughts and prayers from politicians. I'm a rabbi. We have the prayer department covered. I need politicians to do their jobs and pass laws so our children aren't scared to go to school and parents don't worry that each goodbye in the morning might be our last.

Like anyone with a heart I am appalled by the shootings in #Parkland: May the victims rest in peace. Ash Wednesday is about repentance, and we must repent over the ways we've failed to take meaningful steps to prevent these kinds of killings from happening. These are life issues.
