Press Releases and Statements - Cloned

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 25, 2025

Dear Friends:

Last Shabbat morning, we read the stirring words of Zechariah in the Haftarah, “Not by might, nor by power, but by My ‘Spirit,’” (4:6) will salvation and restoration come to the People of Israel. But despite its translation, I tend to read this verse as “both/and”: not only by might or power, but also with ruah – with spirit – we can overcome those who seek to destroy us.
