Many moons ago, I worked at a national volunteer program that did trainings with it’s volunteers in the Fall. A Jewish staff member approached me to give me feedback that trainings were constantly happening on the high holy days crippling the ability of Jewish staff members to participate in a cultural tradition for the organization and connect with their community of people. I wish I could tell you that my reaction was to say, “Oh wow, yes, we should definitely change that.”. Instead, my reaction was, “Let me think about it.” But internally I thought,“Oh GAAAWD, DON’T PEOPLE KNOW HOW BUSY WE ARE AND HOW HARD IT IS TO DO THIS? WE HAVE TO GET THINGS DONE. WHEN DO PEOPLE THINK THIS TRAINING CAN HAPPEN.”
