A Sacred Symbol - Rabbi Leah Fein - February 6, 2026

Friday, February 6, 2026 • Duration 05:24

Imagine: You are an ancient Israelite, and all you have ever known - all your recent ancestors have ever known - is oppression. You witnessed the plagues and the sea splitting and you fled for your life into the wilderness. And now, three months later, you are gathered at the foot of Mt. Sinai together with your fellow Israelites.

Morning dawns, thunder and lightning begin, a dark cloud descends on the mountain, the shofar is sounded, and everyone collectively trembles. You see a stack of smoke rising from the mountain, which is on fire and violently shaking. The sounds of the shofar grow louder and louder, until...

Ran Gvili’s funeral was a moment unique among all others, but the collective need to rise to the next chapter is a feeling familiar to the Jewish people. It is on full display in the Torah portion we read this week. At the core of Parashat Beshalach are two songs, sung not when Pharaoh first freed the people from Egypt, but after they crossed the sea and the waters closed in on the Egyptian armies that had been pursuing them. Finally, they were on the other side. Finally, after a long and tortuous nightmare, they were free, and that in that moment, their new-found freedom was all consuming.

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, February 18, 2022 • Duration 04:14

In this week's Shabbat message, Cantor Spencer-Shapiro unravels how we deal with anxiety and fear. Back in the time of Moses retrieving the 10 Commandments, the Israelites dealt with their fear by creating the golden calf. Spoiler alert: Moses was NOT happy!

Courage and Determination - Rabbi Hannah Elkin - June 20, 2025

Friday, June 20, 2025 • Duration 03:17

This has been another difficult week. As we wait and watch and hold our breath over the news coming out of Israel, we feel tension, concern, and hope. The events unfolding in Israel and in our own backyard fill up our thoughts and trouble our sleep. In the past week I’ve had several conversations with congregants about Israel in particular, and what many of us keep coming back to is the awe we feel for how Israelis are handling the situation.
