    Defending What's Right, Protesting What's Wrong

    Rabbi Moskowitz's Yom Kippur morning sermon.  After two years of this destructive and harrowing war between Israel and Hamas, he urges us to regain our balance and not only defend Israel but raise our voices in protest.  While Israel has a moral responsibility to safeguard Jewish survival it also has a moral responsibility to safeguard the lives of other human beings.  Jews must reclaim their humanity, lay claim to Jewish ideals and help alleviate Gaza's suffering.

    Love Is Not Easy but What Is Needed
