 The catastrophe of October 7th and its aftermath have shaken us. We are se
 arching for a new understanding of our identity and our place in America a
 nd the world. But this isn't the first time we've been touched by catastro
 phe and found it necessary to reinterpret\, reinvent\, reshape and renew o
 urselves. In fact\, we have a particular talent for embracing moments of 
 discontinuity and turning them into opportunities for spiritual creativity
 . \nRabbi Ed Feinstein\nElie Wiesel wrote that “God created humanity\, 
 because God loves stories.” Rabbi Ed Feinstein loves stories too\, and h

 ounding head of the Solomon Schechter Academy of Dallas\, Associate Rabbi
