Let Your Life Become Your Answer
Rev. Jennifer Y. Ryu
When we grow weary of the fight against the oppressive, unjust forces in the world, the Hebrew prophets can walk with us and inspire us. One of her favorites is Jeremiah.
Rev. Ryu visits us today from the UU congregation in Williamsburg, VA where she has served since 2006 and also serves as vice-president of the UU Minister's Association.

While there has been a long and consistent presence of Jewish culture and people in Unitarian Universalism, this poignant anthology is the first to give voice to this community's sturggles, wisdom, and contributions. Essayists include born Jews who came to Unitarian Universalism, Unitarian Universalists who adopted Judaism as a spiritual path, and Unitarian Universalists who have encountered Judaism in diverse ways.
