A home with an open door (Rachel Tasch submission)


Reform Judaism is a home with an open door.  Inside is a life of meaning and a sense of belonging.  
Each home is different, but all of us strive to create homes that are places of safety, warmth, and nourishment.  Inside is full of light, family, good food, and memories.  Homes have history, character, and charm.
Just as a person may have several homes throughout his lifetime, one’s home in Reform Judaism can change over time.  
For the most part, we don't build our own homes from scratch;  we buy (inherit) them and then make them our own by the choices we make. 
Home is where we welcome and entertain others.  It’s where we all come from and all return to at the end of the day.
It’s where we build our lives and dream of the future.
