Professional development sessions just keep getting better and better! Tonight we got to spend one very special hour and a half with Rabbi Eric Yoffie, President of the URJ.

Here is our Top 5 of the evening:

1. Rabbi Yoffie’s challenge to us to take a moral inventory of ourselves

2. Rabbi Yoffie speaking about creating (not breaking down) community through the internet and blogs!

3. Rabbi Yoffie’s reminder of why supporting Progressive Judaism in Israel is so important (shameless plug: don’t forget to support Molly in the Ride4Reform, the 5-day bike ride to support the Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism)

4. Not gonna lie - cheese pizza with onion

5. Rabbi Eric Yoffie tried with all his might to get out of recording a video for the blog, but we’re pretty charming.
