Water from the Rock: Faith, Doubt, and the Journey to Justice – Rabbi Scott Gellman

Update: 2025-07-07

Description

In this Shabbat sermon recorded live on July 4, 2025, Rabbi Gellman explores the story of Moses striking the rock in Parashat Chukat and what it reveals about leadership, doubt, and divine compassion. From the Israelites' desperate thirst in the desert to today's global water crisis, Rabbi Gellman draws powerful connections between Torah and our responsibility to respond to the world’s most urgent needs.
