Rabbi Laura Abrasley, Cantor Peter Halpern, Rabbi Allison Berry
Rabbi Berry - The View from Mt. Sinai
Rabbi Berry gave the following sermon, "The View From Mt. Sinai: Building Our Inclusive Community" at Rosh Hashanah services: "The sun appeared on the horizon, and I could hear music in the distance. Hundreds of thousands of people waited at the bottom of the mountain. People hugged and sang and greeted new friends as if they’d known each other their whole lives." The complete sermon is available on our blog.
