STORIES FOR  A NEW YEAR

IN THE NEW YEAR 5777 … it’s now Yom Kippur for Jewish families around the world. Recently, we’ve been publishing stories themed to the Jewish High Holidays. Some of these stories remain especially relevant as we shift our focus to Bullying Prevention Month. One is this series of vignettes by standup comic Rabbi Bob Alper on the question: Thinking of judging someone?

POWER OF FORGIVENESS—GodSigns columnist Suzy Farbman always brings us an inspiring story about people overcoming challenges, often with surprising “coincidences” along the way. This week’s story is perfect for this season of forgiveness and renewal. Meet Christine Wilson, who tells her haunting story of recovery in a memoirRecovered Essence. (Special note to GodSigns fans: At the end of this column, there’s a video clip of a TV interview Suzy recently did on the challenges we all face in everyday living.)

HATE 2 HOPE! Yes, that’s possible! We also hope you’ll share news about this pioneering program by cross-cultural peace activist Brenda Rosenberg, based on her recent book about harnessing the power of tension in the world.

WE’VE ALL GOT ‘TSURIS’! —Author Debra Darvick has another identity as a writer: She carries on an advice column mainly aimed at Jewish readers. But, as Debra points out in this new column for our readers: Everybody’s got tsuris! That’s Yiddish for “troubles” or “woes.”
