An Age-Old Question

2026/04/20

How do the Jewish people remember tragedy? In this time of memorial and celebration, Rabbi Zuckerman turns to a lesson from the rabbis in the aftermath of the destruction of the temple: to not mourn a devastating loss is impossible, but to mourn too much is also not permitted. Life continues.

It's About Time

2026/04/13

What holds the Jewish people together across difference and distance? Rabbi Cosgrove explores the triad of time, text, and territory, beginning with Jewish time as the rhythm that shapes how we live and belong.

A Quiet Act of Continuity

2026/04/10

Rabbi Zuckerman delivers a poignant message on the final day of Passover: Jewish life is found not only in its grand expressions, but in its quieter ones as well.

Go and Learn

2026/04/06

Rabbi Pink explains how the Passover Seder demonstrates the importance of asking questions and learning from everyone around us.

Slaves to Our Phones

2026/04/06

What does it really mean to be free? On the Shabbat of Passover, Rabbi Zauzmer encourages us to ask this question and suggests that if we can never put our phones down, we are not truly free.

Reframing Our Story

2026/03/30

Touching on one rabbi's response to a pro-Palestine campus display and the Passover Seder, Rabbi Zuckerman reminds us that to be a Jew is to tell a story that begins in pain, but does not end there; rather, it's to insist that there is a path from suffering to hope.

Us and Them

2026/03/30

Do you tell the Passover story as a tale of “us” versus “them”? Rabbi Cosgrove teaches that binary distinctions between good and bad do not tell the whole story, not in the past, and not now. He encourages us to acknowledge and thank non-Jews who have supported our people.

Calling Balls and Strikes

2026/03/23

With baseball season beginning this week, Rabbi Zauzmer discusses automatic balls and strikes, and the humility that the new rule brings to the game.

Presence in Absence

2026/03/16

What can we learn from Torah readings that recount details of rituals and structures that no longer exist? Rabbi Cosgrove teaches that the connections we make with other people are sacred and persist even when the other person is not physically with us.

Seeking God's Face

2026/03/10

There are moments when God’s face feels hidden and faith itself seems beyond reach. Rabbi Cosgrove teaches that even when we cannot see the face of God directly, we may still encounter the divine in the face of another.

A Stiff-Necked People

2026/03/09

When is stubbornness a flaw and when does it become necessary for a people to survive? From Menachem Begin's stance against accepting reparations from Germany to the Israelites worshiping the Golden Calf, Rabbi Zuckerman discusses the characterization of Jews as a a "stiff-necked people."

Cantor Cast: Long Spiel Short

2026/02/24

Join us as Cantor Davis and cantorial intern Kelsey Bailey discuss all things Purim spiel, and get to know Kelsey better.

Do Clothes Make the Person?

2026/02/23

Rabbi Zuckerman explores why the Torah goes into such detail about the clothing one should wear in a sacred space. Clothing, according to the Torah, is not decorative. Rather, it binds us and shapes us. In the biblical imagination, clothing does not merely express identity – it creates identity.

The Big Debate Over the Big Game

2026/02/17

Rabbi Zauzmer discusses the recent Super Bowl ad about antisemitism and encourages us to spend more time fighting antisemites than we spend fighting one another.

They Are Home

2026/02/03

Rabbi Zuckerman speaks about the repatriation of the body of the last hostage in Gaza, Master Sergeant Ran Gvili – linking his return home to this week’s parashah, where Moses carries Joseph’s bones out of Egypt.
