intersections: Congrats, Rabbi Sharon Brous!

April 17, 2008

Congrats, Rabbi Sharon Brous!

My friend Rabbi Sharon Brous was recently selected (again) as one of the most influential rabbis in America. She is the leader of the IKAR community. We met a year or so ago at an interfaith event at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena. She is a young, emerging rabbi - part of the Synagogue 3000 movement that has many similarities to "Emergent" in Christianity.

In the recent Newsweek list of top rabbis in America, Rabbi Brous is listed...

9th of the Top 25 Pulpit Rabbis in America, AND...

30th of the Top 50 Most Influential Rabbis in America.

Mazel Tov, Rabbi Brous!

Hat tip: Bill Cork's Oak Leaves for drawing my attention to this. Rabbi Brous would never have told me herself!

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.... The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
