Description

Recorded live on Oct. 3, 2025 | Shabbat Ha’azinu

In this Shabbat sermon, Rabbi Gellman connects the ancient words of Ha’azinu—“this is not a trifling thing for you; it is your very life”—to a deeply contemporary call for justice and compassion in Chicago. Reflecting on a recent federal raid in the South Shore neighborhood, Rabbi Gellman explores what it means to live out Torah through proximity, empathy, and action. He invites us to transform faith from theory into shared breath—building a “sukkah of peace” that shelters all our neighbors.
