V’ahavta: Community Narcan Trainings
V’Ahavta – “you shall love.”
Why do we talk about love when we talk about NARCAN and harm reduction training? The late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King shared his vision for the “Beloved Community.” And our own tradition instructs us: you shall love. Love God, love your neighbors, love the stranger among us. But Jewish tradition’s obligation to love is not about a swell of romantic feeling towards one’s intimates, nor is it a distant concept applied—rosy-eyed—to all of existence while guitar strums in the background. Love is about acts of care, empathy, kindness, and righteousness in our own families, our communities, and our neighborhoods.
