Empathy for the Less Fortunate
Rabbi Ganz
Do we - and furthermore, can we - truly tune in to the suffering of the underprivileged? If not, how can one develop the ability and sensitivity to tune in to the misfortune of everyone…from a friend or spouse with a headache to a terribly broken down “street person?”

Can Truly Noble Intentions Motivate Terrible Wrongdoing?
Rabbi Ganz
For example, how should we view religious fanatics who murder in the name of G-d? Are they truly religious, but perhaps misguided, or are they simply murderous thugs who operate under the pretext of religion?
