Description

Rabbi Steven Wernick reflects on Parashat Vayakhel as a blueprint for unity following division, drawing parallels between the Israelites’ recovery from the sin of the golden calf and today’s fractured Jewish world. He urges a return to shared purpose through collective responsibility, meaningful leadership, and the spiritual grounding of Shabbat—reminding us that even amid passionate disagreement, we are one people with one destiny. Excerpt from Shabbat morning services. October 12, 2024, Beth Tzedec Congregation, Toronto, Canada.
