God

We stand today, like Abraham, atop the mountain, facing the delicate challenge of reconciling morality and prophecy.

No matter how deep the sin or how severe the corruption, if a person repents and resolves to become better, God will welcome him or her back.

I don’t remember much of what I said; all I know is that at a certain point, I managed to squeeze in God, our land, the Torah, and the word “forever.”

The people of Israel have clearly demonstrated this year that we are the greatest generation of Jews EVER. This year, we forgive God because we too love Him too much to end this story. 

It’s strained, if not seemingly impossible, to embody joy right now. The divine strands of joy around us are so dim as to be nearly invisible.

As we push forward toward even more advanced, hermetically-sealing laser technology, we pray that God continues to guide us and protect us from the demonic forces that darken our skies.

The commandment to build a sukkah using waste has a surprising dual meaning: It encourages us to seek more balance in our relationships.

What was God doing as the residents of Beeri were being BBQ'd alive? Why was the Almighty passive as Shani Louk was paraded unconscious and naked — and then decapitated? 

How do we reconcile the deeply personal journey of Yom Kippur with the overwhelming collective experiences of the past year?

It is not just the beginning of the new year but the most significant day; the one that influences our actions throughout the year.
