Description

In this Yom Kippur sermon recorded live on Oct. 2, 2025, Rabbi Gellman reflects on the crisis of disconnection facing young men today and the broader challenge of building compassionate communities in uncertain times. Drawing on his grandfather’s wisdom, Jewish texts, and the research of Robert Putnam and Richard Reeves, Rabbi Gellman contrasts a culture that prizes toughness with a Jewish call to “walk like a mensch.” He explores how patience, curiosity, and vulnerability can become the true hallmarks of strength—helping us all nurture connection, emotional intelligence, and sacred community.
