Rabbi Gordon's sermon for Yom Kippur 5784 (2023): My yoga teacher says that there’s no such thing as being perfectly balanced. She says there’s always movement; when we’re standing on one leg, we lose our balance and find it again, over and over. There’s no rigid “I’m balanced and that’s the end of it.” We wobble about. And that’s a healthy adjustment to changing circumstances. So I’m not going to tell you where the center is, because I can’t: it changes. But I am going to remind you how to find it. We have Jewish spiritual technology — and I don’t mean Zoom — which helps us keep our balance and guides us back to the center.

The CDC has identified our entire region as being at "high risk for transmission" of COVID-19, and rates are continuing to rise every day. Out of an abundance of caution, we have made the difficult decision to pivot from in-person, indoor gatherings back to virtual events.
