One of modern Israel's most popular songs is called "Ani v'Atah." That Hebrew phrase means "You and I." The lyrics imagine the way you and I can change the world. "First, you and I, and then all will follow us," the song goes. Everyone Needs a Rabbi is a reader-supported publication.

Thank you, Rabbi Evan! Change usually makes us hungry for more change that will lead to elusive “happiness”. I often think back to the 1970’s. I was making around $5 an hour, but I could afford a brand new car. I got married, we bought a house(with help), we had children, etc. - until the need for change that would create more... until need surpassed ability. As a United Methodist pastor, I have been part of helping change happen, that lost sight of “Garden memory”. I am also seeing the inability to accept change that can restore a clearer “Garden memory vision.”
Rabbi, I, too, believe that mankind will return to its true self. D
