Dear Friends,

My video blog, Race for the Future, represents a weekly effort to keep issues of social justice at the forefront of our minds. Monday’s posting generated more responses than any to date. This is, perhaps, because this particular posting challenges us to resist distractions from our goals of justice and equality for all.

My blog, however, did not cover everything. After all, only so much can be said in three minutes. Therefore, I wanted to share the following article by Mitch Albom, a nationally recognized author and sports columnist. This is a profoundly important read, which invites us to consider the ongoing work that we need to do as we strive to to address intolerance and hatred in society.

Please consider reading this article and re-watching Monday’s Race for the Future.

L’Shalom,
Steve
