Send us a textThis week’s Torah portion recounts Abraham’s purchase of the Cave of Machpelah as a burial site for Sarah, a moment steeped in profound symbolism. Juxtaposed with Isaac and Rebecca's love story, the Torah reveals an eternal truth about relationships: true love is not confined to what is seen above the surface. It is rooted in a deeper, timeless connection that exists "beneath the ground." From the bond between husband and wife to the eternal relationship between humanity and G-d...

Send us a textThis week's Torah portion, Vayeira, captures the surprising encounter between Abraham and three angelic visitors. Expecting divine revelations, the angels instead find Abraham busy with hospitality — preparing food, fetching water, and overseeing their comfort. They question, “Where is Sarah your wife?” seeking a glimpse of the true tzaddik, only to find that her holiness, too, is concealed within the humble details of life. Through Abraham's actions, the angels learn that genui...

Send us a textThis week, Rabbi Bernath's sermon delves into the profound moment in this week's Torah portion when G-d calls Abraham to leave everything familiar and embark on a journey that would define not only his own life but the life of humanity. The Midrash’s metaphor of a palace in flames becomes the key image for Abraham's—and ultimately all of Judaism's—mission. Abraham's journey begins with a cry to G-d, asking why a beautiful world, brimming with order and wonder, is engulfed in suf...

Send us a textIn this sermon, we delve into the story of Noah, exploring why the Talmud's mixed views on his righteousness matter. Noah is often compared unfavorably to figures like Abraham, leading to questions about why the sages seemed to minimize his virtue. However, this nuanced approach reveals Noah as a powerful role model for the everyday person. Despite being an ordinary man, not a towering spiritual giant, Noah’s steadfastness in a world of corruption proves that even those who stru...
Send us a textIn the aftermath of the Great Flood, humanity united in the Valley of Shinar to construct the Tower of Babel—a symbol of ambition and defiance. The story reveals three driving philosophies behind the Tower: rebellion against G-d, forced homogeneity, and misguided rationalism. While one idea was burnt away, another buried but recurrent, the last still towers today in subtle denial of divine orchestration. The lesson is clear: humanity thrives through embracing diversity, acknowle...
