Rabbi Fred Reiner sent this message:
Sherry and I send our warmest wishes from Italy for a sweet 5771. Today (September 7) we are traveling to Florence, where we will be spending Rosh Hashanah and I will be leading the services; on Yom Kippur I will lead services in Milan.
From the windows of our apartment we can see the Alps on clear days, so I am thinking of Psalm 121. As we lift our eyes to the mountains here, we are thinking of how important these words (and music) are to Temple Sinai and to all of us.
May your worship be fulfilling these High Holy Days, and may all of us enter a year of peace for our people and our world.
Fred N. Reiner

More "In the News"
WTOP, NBC-4 (the local DC affiliate), and PBS also ran stories on the press conference condemning the rising tide of anti-Muslim sentiment and violence. The PBS piece provides the most content from me and is the most thorough on the issue. Watch it here.
Special thanks and acknowledgement to Professor Jonathan Sarna of Brandeis University. His article in The Forward, "When Shuls Were Banned in America," provided me with a great deal of content to support my point at the press conference.
