Sermon of the week
Did you miss the sermon from Friday night's Kabbalat Shabbat service? Don't fret because you can watch the sermon of the week right here!
In Rabbi Leizman’s sermon, he spoke about how the story of Jacob and Esau became a spiritual inkblot test, how centuries of projection shaped their legacy, and how noticing our own biases can help us meet each other with greater presence and humanity.
