A Lesson on Commitment – Rabbi Shoshanah Conover
Update: 2025-09-08
Description
In this sermon recorded live on Sept. 5, 2025, Rabbi Conover explores what it means to make—and keep—our vows in the season of Elul. Drawing on Deuteronomy, Ecclesiastes, and Rashi, she contrasts “under-promising” with Judaism’s call to aspirational commitment, urging us to act on pledges that honor our moral character: welcoming the stranger, caring for the sick, and respecting our elders. With the High Holy Days approaching, Rabbi Conover invites us to revisit unfinished promises and fulfill them with urgency, so that—as Kol Nidrei nears—our words align with our deeds and light is “sown for the righteous.”
