Some of the sermons below were delivered at Rosh Hashanah services over the years as well as at Yom Kippur afternoon discussions. Others were written for summer learning, when my rabbis invite congregants to deliver the Sabbath morning sermon, drawing inspiration from the week’s Torah portion. The texts are so rich in possibilities, conundrums, challenging commandments that I always find myself disappearing down wonderful rabbit holes of learning, discussion and exploration. Come and explore with me.

Decided to print them all and read them on the haggim. I’m disillusioned with formal synagogue services and may just cobble together my own way of acknowledging the holidays this year.
Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome. I look forward to your reactions.
Shana Tovah!
