A speech delivered by Rabbi Nancy Fuchs Kreimer at the 2006 Reconstructionist Rabbinical Convention has just been added to the JRF Resources database.

Here is a brief quote from the speech.

The truth is that our own civilization is made up of strands of ideas some of which are light and some of which are very dark. This idea is sobering, liberating and ultimately hopeful. It means being honest and also, sometimes, courageous in naming what is problematic.
