So beautiful

Thank you for such beauty and wisdom. My heart is left in a spirit of worship. Let me walk to the place that my heart loves and open my heart to the place that my footsteps take me too.

Central Synagogue Podcast

Central Synagogue’s brilliant and welcoming staff and clergy have helped this non-Jew get through the dark times of the pandemic through their virtual programs. This podcast replays some of the sermons and adds other things as well, including Rabbi Buchdahl’s twice-weekly meditation. The interview with Dr. Ruth is a highlight, presenting this remarkable woman in conversation with Rabbi Buchdahl.

Generally interesting sermons less so on Israel-Palintine

Regarding your recent sermon on peace for Israel you seem to apply moral equivalency to the Gaza issue. Gaza is being starved intermittently bomb targets include sewage treatment plants thousands of civilians killed or made sick. The rockets have killed 2 or 3 people. The of return was peaceful yet snipers killed marchers. For an honest discussion why not debate Norman Finklestein.
