Description

In this sermon recorded live on Aug. 8, 2025, Rabbi Antman reflects on a personal encounter that revealed how labels like “Zionist” and “Anti-Zionist” can erase the richness of a person’s story. Drawing on Parshat Va’etchanan, the Shema Yisrael, and lessons from Resetting the Table, he calls for resisting “the single story” by practicing deep listening across lines of division. Rabbi Antman urges the community to reject sinat chinam (baseless hatred), to make space for multiple truths in one voice, and to build relationships grounded in curiosity, receptivity, and shared humanity.
