Kabbalat Shabbat Kavannah | Rabbi Rebecca Weintraub | July 11, 2025


What does it mean to speak with integrity in a world of half-kept promises and shifting commitments? In a powerful and timely d’var Torah, Cantor David Mintz explores the sacred weight of our words through the story of Balaam. As we approach Tisha Be-Av and the season of teshuvah, he invites us to recommit to speech that reflects our values, rebuilds trust, and restores what has been broken.

Parashat Hukkat | Rabbi Deena Cowans | July 5, 2025


In a powerful kavannah delivered on July 4th, Rabbi Felicia Sol weaves Torah, grief, justice, and hope into a moving reflection on what it means to stay spiritually alive in a world shaped by loss and injustice. Drawing on Parashat Hukkat, Jewish mourning rituals, and Amanda Gorman's moving poem "The Sacred Scene," she calls us to embody the power of mayim chaim—living waters.
