Stories We Tell: The Farmer and the Horse

Rabbi Michael Namath
Once, there lived a farmer who had a horse that he loved. But the horse kept getting injured, and the farmer kept trying to heal his horse. What was causing the problem - and how did he address the source of his horse's recurrent injury? This story is told by Rabbi Michael Namath, the Director of Leadership Development at the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.

Every year, nearly 2,000 high school-aged Reform Jewish students participate in the Religious Action Center's L'Taken Seminar in Washington, D.C. At the beginning of December, Rabbi Greg Litcofsky, took the confirmation class at his congregation, Temple Emanu-El of West Essex, to Washington D.C. to participate in the L’taken Seminar. The program is designed to expose students to a variety of public policy issues, explore the Jewish values surrounding these issues and teach the skills of an effective advocate. Below, Rabbi Litcofsky and one of Temple Emanu-El’s students, Annabelle Hanflig, reflect on their experience.
