One
of the most important concepts that Jim Myers and I teach through the Tov
Center is about the importance of "Community." We live in a society
of individuals. Everyone is a "ME." Individual rights, needs and
wants take priority over those of community. Essentially, the "WE" is
disappearing from America, the nation famously known as “WE the people!” This
creates a problem that most people do not seem to be aware of -- without a "WE" there is no "ME."
Without a “WE” there is no righteousness; there is no kindness; there is no
justice; there is no Tov; and, there is no community without others! And, very importantly,
there is no shared Values Standard we can use to guide and measure human
relationships. Every “ME” is running around with his or her own “self-created
standard” measuring the world with it. Read Rabbi Leynor’s latest blog at -- http://tovcenter.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-power-of-collective-tov-creativity.html
