Lech Lecha: 11/05/08 Many are wondering about Barack Obama's election to the most powerful position in the world: The next President of the United States. Some are shocked, others elated. Some disturbed and yet others terrfied. Is this a celebration or a tragedy? Should we be frightened of this unknown figure? Or should we cherish this unprecedented historical moment, of an African American rising to the highest seat in the land, when just a mere century ago he was oppressed and coming out of slavery? Is this event a sign of our superficial, media-bite, fast-food times? Or is it a demonstration of America's greatness, offering equal opportunity to all? Is this an anomaly or the beginning of a new chapter in history? What does this election bode for the burgeoning 21st Century? Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson as he discusses this historical election.
