Finding Joy During Tough Times

Sermon at Temple Sholom, January 24, 2025:

For tonight, let's rejoice in the pure joy of the fact that several members of our people are finally home; that this is the first Shabbat that Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher will spend with their families in nearly a year and a half; that many more of our brothers and sisters, who have sat, kidnapped, in underground dungeons for 475 days, God-willing, will soon be coming home–this is cause for celebration.
