Divi Builder – from Elegant Themes – is a backend and front end visual page builder geared towards web designers.
With the recent release of Divi Builder 3.0, and an enhanced front end experience that is said to be a complete "reinvention" of previous iterations, there's a lot of hype surrounding this little plugin.
Today, we're taking a critical look at the new Divi Builder – not the theme.
Divi Builder 3.0 Review: The Good, Bad, And The Ugly
For this review, I fired up Divi Builder to see how it fares in comparison to popular alternatives on the market.
From here on out, I'll share my experiences using this tool, as well as what I liked and didn't like along the way.
User Interface & Experience
Of all the page builders I've looked at, Divi has to be the most unique in terms of user interface and overall experience.
In fact, this is clearly one it's key selling points and Elegant Themes holds nothing back in communicating that fact, using phrases like "intuitive", "easy to use" and "you'll think it's magic".
Strong statements, but how true are they?
Well, my first impressions were very promising.
The lack of a sidebar was actually quite refreshing, albeit risky. The controls are very subtle, the color scheme was nice and bold, and the flat design just… worked.
Visually, Divi Builder is nothing short of amazing, and I don't say that lightly.
In terms of user experience, it followed the same kind of principles you get with other builders, except things tend to only appear as and when they're needed.
Did I like this aspect? I'm not sure. I seemed to have a kind of love hate relationship with it.
I did, however, like being able to expand the settings window, move it around and resize it at will.
Divi also takes text editing to a whole other level. Not only can you edit directly, but the lack of borders and the simplistic controls almost makes it feel like you're editing a live page.
And being able to adjust height and width by simply dragging was impressive – though it was quite buggy for me most of the time.
On a final note, I have to mention the responsive design toggles in the bottom corner of the screen.
Clicking these icons will move you into responsive mode where you can continue editing the design for smaller screens.
I really don't know how you could make that any easier. It works great.
So what didn't I like?
Initially, it was honestly quite hard to find anything "bad" about Divi Builder in this regard, but there were a few things I'd like to point out.
Example #1: Buggy at times
The more I played around with Divi Builder, the more I noticed little bugs popping up from time to time. These bugs became more apparent over time, though.
Example #2: When adding certain elements to the page, they don't always appear right away.
I think having placeholder settings would just make a lot more sense.
Example #3: The hover element controls can sometimes get in the way of what you're doing.
And this issue occasionally stopped me from being able to remove certain elements which was VERY frustrating.
My first overall impressions of the interface is that it's well crafted and actually quite enjoyable to use when you get the hang of it. I did, however, run into quite a few problems in my Trello experiment.
Module Library
Divi has a strong library of content modules you can use to effectively build your page. 46 of them, in fact.
Unlike other page builders, I found myself using the search bar most of the time, mostly because the window was just a wee bit small.
It worked well in most cases, but I felt it could be a bit more intelligent at times…
Anyways, scrolling through, there were a few that caught my eye.
- Blog
- Comments
- Post navigation
- Post slider
- Post title
- Sidebar
What do all these modules have in common?
They're dynamic.
As in, they pull information from elsewhere on your site, allowing you to create adaptable layouts.
For example, the "post title" module will change based on the title of the post or page it's currently on.
This, in my opinion, is the direction page builders need to be taking as we move forward and the Divi team clearly understands that.
*claps vigorously*
Finally, let's talk about global modules.
Being able to edit a module, and have those changes reflect on every page where it exists across my site is a big deal.
Fortunately, most page builders today allow the use of global modules, including Divi.
In fact, it's just a case of checking a box when saving a module to your library…
And while most modern page builders emulate this in some way, Divi does offer something I haven't seen anywhere else before.
Selective Sync.
Right before you save a global module to your library, you can choose which particular settings are made global for that particular module.
A typical use-case for this might be to apply all CSS and design settings and leaving the general settings to be freely and independently editable.
In this case, since this is a text module, I could change the look and feel of the text globally without losing the ability to change the text itself.
I could see this being taken a lot further, but it's a great start and something I'd definitely like to see picked up by other page builders.
Going through the customization settings for each of the modules, I really didn't expect to see such a high level of control.
I mean, check out all the 'design settings' you get on a simple text module…
You can use CSS for each individual module, though I think Divi gives you virtually everything you need to get the look and feel you're after, without having to resort to custom styling — in most cases.
Did You Know
There's even a third-party (paid) addon you can use, called Divi Booster. It tacks on over 50 new configurations to the standard Divi Builder, allowing you to have even more flexibility with your designs.
So that's that. But what about layouts?
Well, Divi offers a row and column system you're no doubt familiar with by now…
Again, it works. Adding in new rows with different column layouts is a piece of cake. For the most part.
The only kink I found — albeit a pretty big kink — was that you can't readjust columns widths to your liking.
In other page builders, you can drag the column border to the exact width you need, but with Divi, you're locked-in.
One workaround I found was to use column-specific padding to push modules inwards…
For me, this just doesn't live up the standards set by the rest of the builder, and it's an area they really need to look into.
And one more thing I'd like to mention, is the shortcode issue.
This is something a LOT of people seem to complain about with Divi, and I can see why. The moment you disable the plugin, this happens:
Every page you've built with Divi suddenly turns into a cocktail of shortcodes. Keeping your pages in tact essentially means you're locked in for life.
(That is, unless you don't mind going back and cleaning up the tsunami of shortcodes left in it's wake)
Overall, this one was a mixed bag because on one hand, Divi excels with their customization options, but on the other hand, they completely fall down when it comes to basic layout flexibility and, of course, the plugin dependency.
Did You Know
I ran a test below to see how well Divi Builder performed when recreating Trello's homepage. This will give you an idea how flexible the page builder is in a real life scenario.
Content & Page Templates
If you're a template junkie, you'll probably feel a little frustrated with the pre-designed templates you get out of the box.
Here's what it looks like when choosing a template:
This isn't your traditional template library. Far from it.
In fact, Divi doesn't even call these templates, it calls them "Layouts". Because that's really what they are.
They're predefined layouts that come with a very basic design. Regardless of what you choose, you'll still need to put in some work to get it looking half decent.
If what you're looking for is a varied library of professionally designed page templates, you won't find it here.
Instead, you'll have to rely on others to export their own designs so you can download and import into your own installation.
They're not too hard to find, and there are plenty of curated lists (like this one, by Elegant Themes themselves) out there to get you started.
Of course, you can always create your own page layouts and save them for later use. (Or even export them for other people to use).
Ok. I think you get the picture with page templates. Let's talk about content templates.
Divi didn't let me down here. You can save specific rows to my library with just a few clicks.
(Not only that, but you can also save rows as 'global items')
And everything was easily accessible when adding in new rows or modules. Just a flick of a tab was needed.
Overall, Divi is seriously lacking in the pre-built template department. If you're more of a DIY'er, though, you'll have a field day.
There's no other way to say it. Divi is lightning fast.
Every click. Every transition. Every edit.
It all happens almost seamlessly, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get the page builder to stall.
Even as far as previewing and restoring past revisions are near instantaneous.
Even as far as previewing and restoring past revisions are near instantaneous.
- When I first launched the builder
- And when I loading a new layout
(Even then, it was barely a couple seconds.)
I can't stress how important it is for a page builder to tick this box, and Divi gets a big fat tick from me.
As I was checking out Divi's pricing, I noticed a little chat icon in the bottom corner.
I was bit surprised to see it, but they actually had live chat agents on standby for pre-sales questions. (And I even got response within a few minutes)
It was a good start. But pre-sales support is pre-sales support.
The real question is, what happens after they've schmoozed you over and taken your hard-earned pennies?
Well, the live chat option isn't carried forward, unfortunately.
(Ughh… I knew it was too good to be true.)
Despite that, the forum approach still works well in my opinion. Especially since you can look back at other questions and answers in the archive.
Of course, like other popular page builders, you also have the community-driven option.
Divi is backed by multiple Facebook groups of active users (most of them developers and designers building sites for their clients), with many willing to chime in if they can offer any assistance.
Overall, the support options are abundant and you're never more than a few clicks away from help if you ever need it.
This is where Divi Builder really separates itself from the pack.
Unlike other popular page builders, like Thrive Architect, Elementor and Beaver Builder, you can't buy Divi as a standalone product.
Instead, you have to buy the entire Elegant Themes membership, which includes all plugins and themes.
If you don't renew after 12 months, you will be able to continue using the themes and all plugins, but you won't receive any updates or support until you renew again.
Fortunately, the annual membership cost is very reasonable, and even works out cheaper than some standalone builders… *cough* Beaver Builder.
Looking at how it's competitors are priced, you can get a better idea of where this plugin sits in the market.
|Page Builder
|Free Version
|Premium Version
|Thrive Architect
|$67 lifetime
|Yes (some limitations)
|$49/yr – $199/yr
|Beaver Buil
|Yes (heavy limitations)
|$99/yr – $399/yr
|Divi Builder
|$89/yr or $249 lifetime
|Visual Composer
It's also nice to see a lifetime option there for anyone who's happy to stick with Divi (and maybe even the themes, too).
I said this before in our Beaver Builder review, but even though this may look like the more expensive option compared to Elementor or Visual Composer, you have to consider the license limitations.
The membership gives you unlimited use on as many sites as you like, whereas Elementor PRO, for example, will set you back $199 for the privilege of installing on multiple sites.
Overall, I think it's a great deal. Especially if you're interested in their other plugins or themes as well.
Rebuilding Trello's Homepage
I performed the exact same experiment with all the page builders in this review series, and Divi was the only one that was cut short due to sheer frustration. Despite everything good I've had to say about Divi, it just didn't work for me in a real-world scenario.
Where It Performed Well
- Width Control – It was super easy to adjust the width of individual rows and even certain elements within those rows.
- Image Spacing – Divi had a nice toggle to remove bottom image spacing. Not something I've seen before and it felt almost too convenient.
- Row & Section Spacing – The draggable spacing for rows and sections really sped things up. Not sure if this counts as padding or margin, or if it's technically a good move, but it worked.
Where It Fell Flat
- Color Swatch – It was super easy to adjust the width of individual rows and even certain elements within those rows.
- Page Level Fonts – Divi had a nice toggle to remove bottom image spacing. Not something I've seen before and it felt almost too convenient.
- Fixed Font Sizes – The draggable spacing for rows and sections really sped things up. Not sure if this counts as padding or margin, or if it's technically a good move, but it worked.
- Too Many Bugs – I had several issues with everything from aligning images, changing font colors, column settings, and even some interface glitches.
Is Divi Builder Right For You?
Now that I've covered all the different features and functions of Divi Builder, weighing up the pros and cons and giving my experience along the way — let's talk about YOU.
As with any tool, Divi Builder isn't going to be the right choice for everyone, so I'd like to get to the bottom of who exactly this page builder is suitable for.
Budget Bloggers
If you're building your empire on a shoestring, you might find the $89 per year cost of Divi a little off-putting.
Keep in mind, though, you get access to all themes and plugins from Elegant Themes. You also don't have to renew after the first year – and you can continue to use their products.
That said, I'd still recommend the free version of Elementor if budget is really a concern. That way, you get what is, in my opinion, a superior page builder without spending a penny.
If you currently don't have access to a solid theme or certain essential marketing plugins, it could work out cheaper to opt for the Elegant Themes membership.
Beginner Bloggers
In terms of overall simplicity, Divi Builder is no doubt a reliable option for anyone starting out.
Unlike Beaver Builder, it does manage to keep a minimal approach without having to sacrifice customizability. Basically, it's great for beginners, but it also has some more advanced options tucked away if you ever need them.
Now, is it the best page builder for beginners?
That's a tough one, and even though I know most beginners will fall in love with the simplicity and intuitiveness of Divi, I can't help but give the prize to Elementor once again.
High-Level Marketers
As I mentioned earlier in this review, Divi Builder comes loaded with a respectable number of modules, customization options and design settings to give you serious control over the look and feel of your page.
For me, few page builders come close in this respect, and it's no surprise so many web designers choose Divi to build bespoke website designs for their clients.
Admittedly, you may find yourself delving into custom CSS for some slightly more complex scenarios, but if you fit into this category, that probably doesn't scare you as much as it does some people.
Overall, Divi isn't perfect, and it certainly has some limitations, but it's still far more advanced than most alternatives out there.
Divi has come a long way since its days as a backend-only editor. Today, it holds it's ground against the competition, and is, in my opinion, still one of the better page builders you can buy.
The biggest issue for me, personally, is just how buggy Divi can get when you're building slightly more complex layouts – something that became more apparent during the Trello experiment, above.
And I also can't overlook the fact that all Divi-built pages are dependant on the plugin being installed and activated. It just feels wrong. (But hey, I've always had commitment issues.)
That aside, the intuitive interface, raw speed, and extensive customization is enough for me to at least recommend giving Divi a try. It won't be for everyone, but it deserves it's place in the fight, that's for sure.
As for me? There's still some improvement to be made before I could even consider making the switch. Elementor still takes the cake on that one.

Alfred Erickson Post recognizes long-time members
HANCOCK — The Alfred Erickson American Legion Post 186 recognized several long-term members at its regular monthly meeting Wednesday evening.
John Gedda, Paul Abrahams, Willard Shuler, U.S. Navy veterans, received awards for at least 50 years of membership, as did Carl Wouri, whose branch of service is unknown, who has been a member for 70 years. Frank Taucher, Jimmy Houle, and Phil Verville, veterans of the Vietnam Era, have been members for 53 years.
"Jim Houle and I were both stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, and he was on a ship on one side of the pier," Verville said. "I was on a ship on the other side of the pier. We didn't even know the other was there. We didn't have a clue."
Verville said he and Houle grew up in Hancock, served in the Naval Reserve together, and went on active duty, and lost track of each other.
"He was on the USS Vulcan, which was right across the pier from my ship," Verville said, "and I was on the USS North Hampton, and we were both on Pier Five."
The USS Vulcan (AR-5) was the lead ship of her class of repair ships of the United States Navy during the time, and North Hampton was the Communications Command ship, with a crew of approximately 1,800.
"It was the Presidential Command Ship," he said, "and we had President (Lyndon) Johnson on board in 1967."
Verville said he was a member of the Honor Guard, holding a salute as the president came aboard, something he said he will remember forever.
"He was a big guy," he exclaimed. "I couldn't believe it. I was standing there saluting him, he stepped back to help his wife come aboard the gangway, and he actually almost knocked me over. I had to step back, while still holding the salute."
Verville said he thought it was an honor at the time.
"How many people in the Navy can say they did something like that?"

D'var Torah for March 13, 2020
RTR / dvar torah /
This week we will be reading from parashat Ki Tisa. It begins with God commanding Moses to take a census of the Israelite followed by instructions to empower Bezalel, Uri and Oholiav to oversee the construction of the Tabernacle. However, all of this is pretense to the story of the Egel Zahav, the Golden calf.
As we learn from Exodus 32:1-2, "When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, the people gathered 'against' Aaron and said to him, 'Come, make us a god who shall go before us, for that man Moses, who brought us from the land of Egypt – we do not know what has happened to him."
Previously we learned that Moses had ascended Mt. Sinai and remained up there for forty days and forty nights in seclusion from his brother and the rest of the Israelite leadership. Needless to say, in reading this text, we get the sense that the Israelites are growing increasingly anxious about Moses' absence. In addition, up until Sinai, their only experience of gods in Egypt were those of idols, so it makes sense that given their anxiety, they would want to return to something familiar to seek comfort and solace.
Anxiety is not a uniquely Jewish experience, yet given our experience as Jews, it is not unusual for us to be anxious as individuals and as a people. Though the truth is, we do not have a higher rate of anxiety than any other peoples in the general population.[1]
That being said, in this time where there is a great deal of worry about the Coronavirus, it is hard not to feel a generalized, if not specific level anxiety. The question is, what do we do with that feeling? Our ancestors used it to justify the creation of a golden idol to be celebrated and worshipped. They did this because they believed Moses had abandoned them, and without Moses what hope did they have to encountering God?
For us, having just completed the celebration of Purim, a holiday built around anxiety, we are presented with an opportunity. Like Esther, we can choose not to give into our worries and fears, but instead act in positive ways. Here at RTR, we are working with local and state officials as well as our professional organizations to best continue to prepare and institute policies and procedures designed to keep us all as safe as possible. We will be working as well to keep you informed through our various means of communications as to our plans as realities change in our community. We also continue to offer streaming services (www.rtrny.org/live), so that you can connect with us virtually if you are not able to join us in person.
One of the main lessons of the Golden Calf is that panic is no way to respond to anxiety and fear. We are striving to be judicious and deliberate to do our best to keep you safe and keep our congregational family safe during this time of uncertainty.
I would like to offer up the following prayer[2]. It is not intended to solve but instead to help provide both comfort and guidance:
Eternal God, You abide though all things change. We are anxious and fearful, and we turn our hearts to You, looking to You and leaning on Your strength.
It is written (Psalm 84:5): Blessed is the one whose strength is in You.
Bless us now with faith and courage. Help us to feel that You are with us, steadying and sustaining us with the assurance that we are loved.
Be with us and bring us hope, that in the days to come, our aspirations may be fulfilled for our good and the good of those we love who depend on us.
Banish our fears with the sense that you are always present, to uphold and sustain us, as it is written (Isaiah 41:10) Have no fear, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with the power of My righteousness. Amen.
May we all be safe, healthy and happy during this challenging time. And may our tradition help to guide us as we work within the greater community to keep all safe healthy.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Benjamin Sharff
D'var Torah for February 28, 2020

"G-d spoke to Moses saying: "Tell the Israelite people to bring Me gifts; you shall accept gifts for Me from every person whose heart so moves him. And these are the gifts that you shall accept from them: gold, silver, and copper; blue, purple, and crimson yarns, fine linen, goats' hair; tanned ram skins, dolphin skins, and acacia wood; oil for lighting, spices for the anointing oil and for the aromatic incense; lapis lazuli and other stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece. And let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them."
In this week's Torah portion, parshat Terumah, G-d lays forth a plan for creating a holy space – a portable sanctuary to be carried through the wilderness. G-d begins by asking for gifts. If the whole of creation belongs to G-d, why does G-d need gifts from us?
The answer is two-fold, and we can understand it by looking at the items requested. The first is that these are all objects of value and difficult to find. Blue, purple and crimson yarns are rare and expensive. The metals and skins would have been heavy to transport and hard to get. And… dolphin skins? In the desert? Really?
Finding, gathering, and then donating rare and valuable items is a hardship. G-d is asking people of means to give a real piece of themselves to the building of this Tabernacle. This is an investment, and when we finance a project, we often devote ourselves to it emotionally as well. This is the first layer.
You will notice that G-d doesn't ask people to bring a gold lamp, a silver breastpiece, or a blue mantle. The items that G-d requests are all raw materials out of which these can be fashioned. G-d then spends the rest of the parshah describing what the artists should create. This brings us to the next layer of G-d's request – the emotional and artistic investment. Those who have been blessed with artistic skill will now give of themselves to fashion this house of G-d out of the raw materials brought by those of means. The people will literally "make" a sanctuary for G-d – devoting their time, energy, and creativity to the project. G-d said, "Make me a sanctuary that I may dwell there." It is the act of making that allows God to live among the people.
We are all busy, but we find that we make time and space for those things that are most important to us. We build a sanctuary to those things. Sometimes we accidentally reserve too much space for things that have little lasting value. This week, let us ponder what things we are devoting our time, money, and energy too. Are we building space for the things and people that matter? We have the opportunity to build sanctuaries for the Divine in the world through acts of lovingkindness and social justice, through precious time with family and friends, as well as through our connection to the Jewish community. What sanctuaries do you wish to build?
Shabbat Shalom,
Cantor Sally Neff
D'var Torah for February 21, 2020
RTR / dvar torah /
This week we will be reading from parashat Mishpatim. It is the Torah portion immediately after Yitro, which told us the story of Matan Torah, the giving and receiving of the 10 Commandments at Mt. Sinai. Unlike Yitro, which lays out ten fairly straightforward mitzvot, Mishpatim is a hodgepodge of laws. Of the 613 commandments found in the Torah, mishpatim contains fifty-three. Twenty-three are positive commandments (thou-shalts) and 30 are negative mitzvot (thou-shalt nots). There are laws on worship, injuries, property-law, moral behavior, sacrificial laws, the commandment not to boil a kid in its mother's milk (23:19); the basis for the rabbinic mitzvah of separating milk and meat.
In Exodus 23:1 we find the curious phrase, "you must not carry (tisah) false rumors …" There is a lot of conversation among the rabbis as to what this really means. Rashi states that what this mitzvah is telling us is that we must not accept false rumors, meaning it is a mitzvah not to listen to gossip. Rashbam, Rashi's grandson goes farther to argue that when you hear a rumor, you are to investigate as to whether it is true or not. Then there is ibn Ezra who takes it one step even further to argue that one must neither invent something false nor repeat something that one is not sure about.
All of these rules fall under the general rabbinic principle against lashon harah (literally evil speech) or gossip. As we learn from Jewish ethics, "The harm done by speech is even worse than the harm done by stealing or by cheating someone financially, because amends can be made for monetary harms, but the harm done by speech can never be repaired. For this reason, some sources indicate that there is no forgiveness for lashon ha-ra (disparaging speech).
A Chasidic tale illustrates this point: A man went about the community telling malicious lies about the rabbi. Later, he realized the wrong he had done, and began to feel remorse. He went to the rabbi and begged his forgiveness, saying he would do anything he could to make amends. The rabbi told the man, "Take a feather pillow, cut it open, and scatter the feathers to the winds." The man thought this was a strange request, but it was a simple enough task, and he did it gladly. When he returned to tell the rabbi that he had done it, the rabbi said, "Now, go and gather the feathers. Because you can no more make amends for the damage your words have done than you can recollect the feathers."
Speech has been compared to an arrow: once the words are released, like an arrow, they cannot be recalled, the harm they do cannot be stopped, and the harm they do cannot always be predicted, for words like arrows often go astray."[1]
On this Shabbat where we offer the following prayer at the end of the Amidah "Elohai Neshamah, My God, guard my speech and my lips from deception …," may we be reminded by these words and our parasha to always guard our words, whether spoken, written, tweeted, or through text. For what is unsaid can often be even holier than what is said.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Benjamin Sharff
D'var Torah for February 14, 2020

This week we will be reading from parashat Yitro the revelation of the Decalogue or the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai. When reading it, I was reminded of an old joke, "don't feel badly if you have a hard time keeping all of them, just remember Moses broke all of them at once."
The theologies of revelation define many of the differences between the various streams of Judaism. In traditional Judaism, all of the Torah including the writing and Oral Torah were given to Moses at Sinai. According to Conservative Judaism, the Ten Commandments were revealed to Moses at Mt. Sinai. According to Reform Judaism, something happened at Sinai, but we are not sure if the Ten Commandments were Divinely given, Divinely inspired, or part of a theological-mythological oral tradition representing a creative history. However, I should note that the previous statement is in many ways an oversimplification of our understanding of Sinai to illustrate some of the theological differences between the various movements. It is in no way meant to reflect your personal religious beliefs.
If we have different understandings of Sinai, what then defines us as Jews collectively? Being Jewish is more than just theology and belief. It is also shared practices, shared rituals, a shared history, a shared experience, and a fundamental wrestling with all of it to try to understand how to bring holiness into the world. As Reform Jews, we may not be bound by Halacha, Jewish law, but we are more than a people who define themselves by what we don't do.
Sinai, whether historical, theological, or mythological, became a defining moment for us as a people. The Ten Commandments represented the beginning of an ongoing process of revelation, whether truth and sacredness are literally being revealed or unearthed. It is our charge to be engaged in the process of seeking out greater holiness.
There is a wonderful midrash, rabbinic story, that we all stood together at Sinai, meaning we were all bound together and that we are all responsible for one another. It is not an easy task, and we can be a difficult and contentious people to others and to each other. Given the difficult times we live in, it is all the more important to celebrate the giving and receiving of Torah at Sinai, no matter our understanding of what may or may not have transpired. For when times are their most challenging, it is all the more important for us to bind ourselves together and to celebrate our collective heritage and tradition.
Though Moses may have broken all ten at once, he got back up, wrote them himself and continued to lead the people from the wilderness to the Promised Land. So too, we continue to be a light in the wilderness until all can enter into the Promised Land.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Benjamin Sharff

This past Shabbat, I was having a conversation with one of our congregants, Lillian Spier. Lillian just turned one-hundred years old. I half-jokingly asked her what the secret was to her longevity. I expected her to talk about being active, making healthy eating choices – something like that. But instead she said, "I'm a hope-a-holic." To her, the secret of her long life was all about attitude, all about the way that she chooses to see the world.
It's funny how sometimes things come together all at once. The next day, I was listening to a podcast and the speaker was talking about how important it is to take "delight" in the world. This too, is about how we choose to perceive events around us. Yet, it was also a challenging week last week, and the state of the world seems quite bleak. How can we be hopeaholics at a time like this? How can we take delight in such a world?
This week's Torah portion, parshat B'shallach, contains one of the most famous miracles in the Torah. The children of Israel have finally escaped Egyptian slavery and encounter before them a body of water. Moses raises his rod over the waters and they part. The people cross to freedom on dry land. Once they are safe, Miriam and the women take up their tumbrels and sing one of the oldest songs: "Mi Chamocha, ba-eilim, Adonai" – "Who is like You G-d, among the gods that are worshipped?"
We don't experience miracles like this anymore. In fact, most people would agree that the age of miracles has passed. But perhaps not. Maybe, in order to see the miracles today, we have to strive to be hopeaholics?
One of my favorite liturgical poems speaks to this. Rabbi Sidney Greenberg wrote in his prayerbook, Siddur Hadash:
We look for miracles in the extraordinary, while too often we remain oblivious to the miracles, which abound in the ordinary moments of our lives.
Our lives are drenched in miracles. Miracles are all around us – and within us. We are each walking miracles.
When we are bruised, what miracle heals us? When we sleep, what miracle restores us? When we see beauty, what miracle elevates us? When we hear music, what miracle moves us?
When we see suffering, what miracle saddens us? When we give and receive love, what miracle warms us? When we pray, what miracle renews us?
Every springtime is a miracle; every snowflake is a miracle; every newborn is a miracle. The thoughts we think, the words we utter, the hopes we cherish – each is a miracle.
We live from miracle to miracle. That is why the Modim reminds us: be thankful for God's miracles, which are daily with us.
On this Shabbat, in which we read the Mi Chamocha from the Torah, let us be reminded to seek the miracles, the look for the delight that will lead us to declare in wonder, "Who is like You?"
Shabbat Shalom,
Cantor Sally Neff
D'var Torah for January 24, 2020
RTR / dvar torah /
In this week's Torah portion, parshat Va'Era, we get the first group of plagues against Egypt. As each horrific plague hits, Pharoah is inclined to let the people go and worship, but then his heart is hardened to their plight and he does not let them go. This year's observation of Martin Luther King's birthday lead me to think a great deal about the ways in which we open and harden our hearts to the plight of others. On MLK day, everyone is thinking about equity in our country, quoting the best MLK quotes, thinking about how far we have come and how much further we have to go. For many in the black community, these observances seem hollow because one day does not make up for the three-hundred sixty-four other days where hearts seem hardened to even discussing issues of race in this country. As one facebook friend put it, MLK is the day when it is "safe" to talk about race. When G-d sent the plagues, Pharoah was moved by each one, but as soon as the misery was no longer in his face, he returned to his old way of thinking. This path only leads to destruction and death for him.
Every year at many modern Passover seders, people talk about the contemporary plagues that we experience: plagues of war, famine, homelessness, crime, racism, antisemitism, sexism, climate change, and on and on. But the truth is that most of us cannot stand to think about these plagues in an every-day sense. We harden our own hearts to them, and this can only lead to a bad end for all of us.
There are three types of words used in the Torah to describe the hardening of Pharoah's heart – Kaveid – this root means heavy, or hard; Chazak – strong or stubborn, Kasheh – hard, difficult. I would suggest that we open our hearts by changing each of these words just a little and being inspired by three words very close in sound and spelling. Instead of having a heart that is kaveid, heavy and rigid– let us be inspired instead by kavod – honor. Let us work to earn honor in the world and to honor the legacy of freedom fighters like Moses and like Martin Luther King Jr. by trying to live up to their legacies. Instead of being chazak – strong (but in this case more like obstinate), let us be inspired by chazon – vision. And instead of being kasheh – hard, let us be inspired by the keshet – the rainbow that is all our community is, and all it has the potential to be.
Wishing you a Shabbat of vision, honor, and filled with the diversity that humanity has to share.
Shabbat Shalom,
Cantor Sally Neff
D'var Torah for January 17, 2020
RTR / dvar torah /
This week's Torah portion begins the book of Exodus and retells the grand story of the enslavement and redemption of the Jewish people. The Jews were vilified and enslaved because "a new king arose who did not know Joseph." This Pharoah felt threatened by the large numbers of Israelites in his midst and decided to oppress and enslave them as a means of weakening and controlling them. There were many horrendous decrees that came along with this enslavement, but I'd like to focus on the beginning.
Moses and Aaron make their first request to Pharoah, and it is a relatively simple one. "Let my people go, that they may celebrate a festival for Me [G-d] in the wilderness." They are not yet asking for complete freedom. Pharoah accuses Moses and Aaron of trying to distract the people from their work. He punishes them by telling the taskmasters and foremen that the slaves would no longer be provided with straw for making bricks, but must gather the straw themselves. Despite this extra load of work, they would be expected to make just as many bricks as before.
As one can understand, the people were not happy with this decree, but they went to attempt to fulfill it. Of course it was not possible for them to complete the same amount of finished work as before and so the foremen were beaten by the taskmasters. The foremen needed someone to blame, so they went to Pharoah. But they did not find fault with him, nor did they reason with him. Instead, they said, "No straw is issued to your servants, yet they demand of us: Make bricks! Thus your servants are being beaten, when the fault is with your own people." The foremen blame the Egyptian taskmasters.
Pharoah responds by calling the Israelites lazy. "You are shirkers!" he says. He claims that the fact that they want to go to worship is proof of their idleness. So the foremen go and blame Moses and Aaron for making them appear "loathsome to Pharoah and his courtiers." Moses, in turn goes to G-d and said, "Why did You bring harm upon this people? Why did You send me? Ever since I came to Pharoah to speak in Your name, he has dealt worse with this people; and still You have not delivered Your people." Moses blames G-d.
Remember, this is the very beginning of the story, and already we are impatient, full of blame, lacking in trust. Change is a slow process, redemption does not occur overnight.
This weekend, we will mark the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Martin Luther King had a dream. Some of his vision has come to fruition. So much of it has not. We are quick to blame when we think about all the reasons that our world is still so full of hatred. We are quick to blame everyone else, and sometimes those people are to blame, but the blame is not the point. In this week's Torah portion, Moses is afraid to speak out for justice and he says to G-d, "I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue." G-d responds "Who has made a person's mouth? Who makes the mute, or deaf, or the seeing or the blind? Is it not I, the Eternal One? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say."
We feel this G-d-inspiration in our desire to make the world equitable. But fear stops us. Blame stops us. History stops us. As we begin the book of Exodus, the Torah reminds us not to stop, not to blame, not to fear. The future lies before us – redemption, or enslavement. Our path depends on opening our mouths and speaking out for justice for all. We ARE impatient. It IS taking too long. But that cannot not stop or slow us from fighting the fight.
Shabbat shalom,
Cantor Sally Neff
D'var Torah for January 10, 2020
RTR / dvar torah /
This week we will be reading from Parashat Shemot. Shemot is the first Torah portion in the book of Exodus. It sets the stage for the narrative that will consume the rest of the book of Exodus namely, the enslavement and ultimately, the redemption of the Israelites from Egypt. This story we know well not just because we read about it every year, and not just because there were at least three movies (The Ten Commandments both the silent and non-silent versions, The Prince of Egypt) and one tele-movie (TBS' Moses with Sir Ben Kingsley as Moses) made about the Exodus, but because we recall it at every Passover Seder. During every seder we take time to also reflect how none will truly be free until all are free.
In reflecting upon this, there is another exodus in our modern history that we rarely speak about, and that is the forced exodus of Jews from Muslim countries beginning around 1948 in response to the establishment of the State of Israel. According to Jimena.org, an organization created to share the stories of Jewish refugees from the Middle East and North Africa, "estimates that the number of Jews living in Arab countries and Iran totaled more than 850,000 at the time of Israel's independence. Some scholars even think the number is closer to one million. In the North African region, 259,000 Jews fled from Morocco, 140,000 from Algeria, 100,000 from Tunisia, 75,000 from Egypt, and another 38,000 from Libya. In the Middle East, 135,000 Jews were exiled from Iraq, 55,000 from Yemen, 34,000 from Turkey, 20,000 from Lebanon and 18,000 from Syria. Iran forced out 25,000 Jews."[1] Needless to say, this was an immense tragedy for the Jewish people, that all too often is forgotten in modern narratives.
All that being said, there are still an estimated 9,000 to 15,000 Jews remaining in Iran.[2] The Jews of Iran trace their lineage back to the Persian conquest of Babylon around 539 BCE. "King Cyrus the Great authored what is widely regarded as the first ever declaration of human rights. It advocates fighting oppression, defending the oppressed, and respecting human dignity and the principles of justice, liberty and free expression. It also includes an edict allowing the Jews living under his rule to return to their native lands. The Book of Ezra credits Cyrus with the Jews being able to rebuild their temple in Jerusalem and the Book of Esther provides an early first glimpse of Jewish life in Iran as it chronicles the rise of a Persian Jewish woman in 478 BC (Hebrew years 3283-3284) to the rank of Queen, enabling her to save her people from slaughter."[3]
The Jewish community's relationship with Iran had its ebbs and flows which includes the interesting fact that Jews have at least one guaranteed seat in the Iranian Parliament. Also there were at least three thousand Jewish refugees who fled to Iran during WWII and were offered safe haven there throughout the war.
I am not mentioning any of this to justify or support in any way Iran's ongoing support of terrorism and the killing of Americans and Israelis. I also do not wish to articulate that Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons is anything less than an existential threat to the State of Israel. Instead I write this as a way of helping us understand that it used to not be this way. The world seems now on the brink of war once again in the Middle East. If the past is any indication, there might be other ways out of this escalating conflict; one that might be both beneficial to us as the United States and one to us as the Jewish people. Only time will tell.
In the meantime, we pray for the safety especially of the American service men and women who are putting their lives on the line every day, for the safety of our brethren in the land of Israel, and that peace will one day soon reign in the region so weary of war, death, persecution, and destruction.
Shabbat Shalom,

New Delhi, Sep 16 : The Radhika Konda-starrer "LIKE US", a film about bullying awareness and prevention, is set to premiere at the Golden Door International Film Festival in Jersey City, New Jersey on September 21. The Indian-American actress says she wants to bring awareness that bullying is dangerous and that it affects the mental growth of children.
"Every individual should watch and understand what a kid has to face in school. Bullying hits kids' mental growth. I am a perfect example for that, for many years I locked myself in a cage and was afraid to let myself out. I learned the hard way and it took me ages to collect my guts and chase my dreams. A child has a tender heart. This film explains that it's okay to be different," Radhika told IANS in an exclusive interview.
Talking about her personal life, she shared "I was severely bullied in school and surprisingly in college. Kids used to tease me about my height. As a kid, it hurt my confidence deeply. I used to be ashamed of myself and never wanted to socialise because I was scared of getting mocked.
"When I read the script (of the short film), it brought back a lot of dark memories. No one has any right to mock a person based on their height, weight, personality, knowledge, financial status or mental ability. 'LIKE US' is about acceptance and deals with every emotion. My past made me join the cast and I want to bring awareness that bullying is dangerous and together we can do something about it."
She doesn't see her character, a school principal, as particularly strict or lenient. "I play a principal who is friendly but sometimes wallows in her own problems. The character really cares about the students and in the end, looks out for them in a surprising way."
The producing team of "LIKE US" includes Neelima Adusumilli from Andhra Pradesh, Brindha Dhanabalan from Tamil Nadu, Jasminder Kaur from Andhra Pradesh and Sucharita Jain from New Delhi. Doesn't Radhika wish to work in more Indian films or collaborate with Indian talents?
"I've always wanted to work in Indian films but movie-making is a very different business in India. Women are objectified on many levels. I want to make movies that bring change and raise awareness. I want to make movies about strong women, especially women who suffer from different forms of abuse. Women are such strong creatures on this earth. I want to show that in my work," said the actress, who hails from Hanamkonda, Warangal in India.
She loves where she was born and raised. "I am a very proud Indian. I came to America after my marriage and I thank my husband Prabhakar Konda for bringing me to America and helping me follow my dreams."
She even donned the role of a writer, director and actor for the comedy web series "America Lo Ammakuchi".
"Working in entertainment has always been my dream. I love comedy and writing the 'America Lo Ammakuchi' web series has been a great experience. There will definitely be a season 3," she shared.

Dry eyes & contact lenses: Are they connected?
Without a doubt, contact lenses have a positive impact on millions of peoples' lives. However, they can become frustrating to wear if you suffer from dry, itchy eyes. There are so many solutions to contact lens discomfort – and no, switching to glasses isn't the only way out!
If you suffer from dry eyes, leading optician Brendan O'Brien from Vision Direct shares the latest advice on how to keep symptoms at bay.
What are the causes of dry eyes?
Throughout the day, your eyes are constantly exposed to dust, dirt and pollution particles. These affect the tear film – the watery substance that has a lubricating but also protective function – which can cause the annoying sensation of dryness. A healthy eye would produce that substance naturally, through the lacrimal gland.
The causes of dry eyes can be quite varied, and it's best to speak to your optician as soon as you experience any of these problems:
- External factors, such as environments with poor humidity or windy, places exposed to smoke
- or particularly dusty, excessive use of air conditioning or heating.
- Medical disorders.
- Contact lenses unsuitable for the conditions of your eyes or an allergy to the materials used.
- Taking drugs such as antihistamines, antidepressants, oral contraceptives,
- beta-blockers.
- Behavioral factors.
- Digital eye strain.
- Hormonal alterations, such as the menopause/andropause or pregnancy.
Contact lenses to combat dry eyes
Choosing the right contact lenses from a trusted supplier is key to having good eye health. Making informed decisions by speaking to your optician about your symptoms and different materials should be the first step. As well as correcting your vision, contact lenses must also be suitable for the curvature of your eye and must not have any factory defects, such as edges that are too sharp or irregular. Environmental factors can negatively affect the contact lenses hydration which is when the lenses draw on the tear film to restore lubrication.
Luckily, there are now different types of lenses to overcome this problem.
Lenses with low water content
The most common mistake people make which leads to eye dehydration is thinking they should go for a lens with a high hydration rate. If you do this, the lens will tend to hydrate the eye, giving it all the liquid that it contains in a short amount of time. Consequently, the dryness of the contact lens will be added to the dry eye, which means it could lose its initial geometric characteristics and cause damage to the cornea.
The advisable solution is to opt for soft lenses with low water content, designed precisely to retain water, maintaining the right balance between the lens liquid and that of the eye.
Daily disposable lenses
Studies show that this type of lens is one of the best solutions for those who want to get rid of
that annoying feeling of dryness in their eyes. Daily lenses require minimum levels of maintenance, and are easy to use.
Silicone hydrogel
Thanks to their silicone polymer coating, these new generation lenses have a limited tear evaporation while at the same time keeping the eye hydrated. This way, the cornea receives five times more oxygen which keeps your eyes constantly lubricated, as if you had no lenses in at all. Some of these lenses can be worn during the night, or for a long period of time, without feeling any discomfort.
It's also worth noting that as well as wearing the right contact lenses for your eyes, eye drops can also be a good way to keep your eyes hydrated.

Hello all,
What happens when you ban someone? I found this post, but it doesn 't really cover it.
Also, what are some situations where you would ban someone (for not doing anything wrong).
Our community is SSO and sometimes people leave one company and join another and they end up with two accounts but different emails. Would this be a situation where you would ban the old person, or let it live on?
Any other non-serious situations you've banned someone?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @i_am_ryan - when you ban a user and they attempt to login again, they will see a message on the page that states they have been banned and why (if a reason was left).
I don't think I've encountered a scenario in which we have banned someone other than the standard reasons such as a spammer or troll. 🤔 If a user had multiple accounts, and for some reason we needed to close one, we would use the close account feature instead.
@lilim Thanks!
I didn't know where was a close account feature. Any documentation on this?
What happens to banned users content? Do we have options to remove it, keep it there but changed to a fake name?
Here is some info on how to close an account. You need to have Khoros Support enable the feature first.
When banning a user, nothing automatically happens to their content. However, there is an option on the user profile to "mark all posts as spam". Keep in mind though that the systems learns what we mark as spam, so this option may not be the best if you want to remove content from a normal user gone rogue.
Closing an account will anonymize the user's posts. This can't be undone after the 10 day "soft delete" period, so exercise caution when doing this. The docs on GDPR compliance goes over this.
Hi @lilim
Thanks for your help. Just to clarify.
1. If we ban a user, nothing happens to their content unless I take the action of marking their content as spam. So a banned user's content and name would continue to exist in the community.
2. Closing an account will keep all the users posts, but be changed to an anon. name. This would be kind of similar to deleting a user?
1. Yes, that's correct. 👍
2. Yes and to clarify - "closing" and "deleting" are used interchangeably here.
