And this is the blessing!
In the Torah’s final portion - just before Moses dies - Moses blesses the people of Israel.
We’re told that Moses was a “person of God,” that his blessings were prophetic, and that they conveyed a kind of mystical justice for the world. His blessings - there on the mountain, overlooking a Promised Land he would never reach - were the continuation of an ancestral stream of blessing that had come before him and would continue after him.
That final Torah portion is called: “And this is the blessing,” and in it we learn the sacred power of blessing.
Reb Arthur’s life has been a blessing.
From the Freedom Seder to the theology of YHVH as the Interbreathing of All Life. From the 28 books he’s written to the 27 arrests he’s taken. From helping to seed a Jewish climate movement to being on the founding board of T’ruah and amongst the earliest anti-occupation voices related to Israel/Palestine. From co-founding ALEPH with Reb Zalman to steadfastly engaging multireligious voices for justice at every turn. From showing us how to be fierce and fiery to showing us how to cry and be sensitive. From his days as a radical young person to his days as a radical elder. Over and over, Arthur has blessed us. Now it’s our turn to bless Arthur!
