    R. Yehoshua Karsh

    R. Karsh modeled as well as welcomed wholeness. R. Karsh has an amazing ability to take our tradition deeply deeply to heart, while also being able to laugh at its quirks, and I think he does this in relationship to himself as well as his friends and students. He didn't tell us what "the" meaning of the Torah, or what some commentator said, he shared his experience of living the stories of that Parshah in his own life. He shared himself, and did so with a gentle integrity.
