SHABBAT SERMON

“America still is beautiful. Every inch is sacred from sea to shining sea. Wednesday will long be remembered as a stain on our history but it will also remind us that the light of the American ideals of equality, peace, freedom, and justice can overcome the shadows of our darkest moments." Watch Rabbi Steve's sermon from last Friday, January 8.
