We Are (Fall 2019)
Mission & Core Values
We Are Forgiven
September 14, 2019 • Helene Rosenberg
We are forgiven. It's one of our core values. When we are able to forgive others we can become people who extend forgiveness to people around us. Sin, mistakes, setbacks. Things that we have done to others and things that have been done to us. We choose to forgive because every setback is a chance to come back. Our guest speaker is Helene Rosenberg, Rabbi Matt's mom, from Shuvah Yisrael in New York.
We Are Generous
September 7, 2019 • Matt Rosenberg
Money is an impossible situation for most people. It causes fights. It creates havoc in families. Money is not evil. But, what to do with money, how to spend it, how to save it causes tremendous strife in the life of families. At Restoration, we are generous. As a community we are irrationally generous with our resources. It doesn't mean we don't make good and informed decisions when it comes to money. It means we return to God first believing that he will bless the rest of what he has given us. It is irrational to the world around us but God has been so irrationally generous with us that we want to return that generosity to the Lord.
