    Love the Stranger - Rabbi Morris Panitz

    Loving your neighbor, who is like you, whose identity you share, is not enough. You must stretch the boundaries of love to wrap into its embrace the stranger, the people in our society who are furthest away from power. To counter the frenzy of rhetoric and the aspirations of policy that demonize these human beings, we need to love them fiercely. We need to love them fully.

    Dreams Don’t Die - Rabbi Sharon Brous

    Now we must learn the lesson our ancestor Avram learned: one day our dreams will be realized. Just not today. And not tomorrow. And maybe not for many years. But just as hope doesn’t die, dreams don’t die. The dream we share for America didn’t die because our dream— the dream of a just and merciful multiracial democracy in which all people live in dignity— that dream is the right dream. It is the only future… it’s just now clear that it will take much longer to achieve than any of us had hoped.

    From Blame and Shame to Cherished Belonging - Rabbi Sharon Brous

    After the death of a beloved child in our community to suicide, we reaffirm our commitment to combatting shame with tenderhearted love, to meeting one another in the dark, to never giving up on each other. May Benjamin Ellis’s memory be a blessing.

    Home and Hevel - Jacob Schatz | Sukkot II

    Sukkot reflects our people's ancient narrative, balancing the transience of a wandering nation and the fragility of life with our yearning for home and the Eternal Divine. How does our tradition compel us to relate to those who yearn for home, but who are left to wander?

    Have Faith in Grief - Rabbi Morris Panitz | Kol Nidre 5785

    The only way forward is one broken heart next to another, crying together, awakening to the reality that grief is our common bond.

    To Save Our Democracy, We Must Tell a Better Story - Rabbi Sharon Brous | Yom Kippur 5785

    There is a dominant story in America today—a story of isolation, alienation, and narrow-minded extremism, fueled by a deeply unsettling convergence of right- and left-wing antisemitism. This story—propagated by a would-be authoritarian—plays on our worst instincts: the smallness, the fear, the ever-present sense of scarcity. And it threatens to do untold damage. We must write something new.
