Join Sara and Danny as they share a perspective on the election results in which Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris to become the 47th President of the United States of America.

Episode Overview: Danny and Sara and Dovid tackle the timely topic of approaching elections with a Jewish lens. Together, they explore the significance of unity, constructive communication, and faith.

Key Themes:

1. Dangers of Divisiveness:

   • Highlight how divisiveness can erode communities and distort constructive dialogue.
   • Address why Judaism encourages respectful debate and the value of maintaining peace among people with differing perspectives.

2. Importance of Constructive Dialogue:

   • Emphasize creating conversations that build bridges, not walls.
   • Discuss tools for fostering empathetic listening and open-mindedness, especially in tense times.

3. Bitachon—Trusting G-d:

   • Explain bitachon and its role in accepting outcomes beyond personal control.
   • Explore how Jewish thought encourages us to trust in G-d’s plan regardless of political outcomes.

Takeaway Message: In a world of political polarization, Judaism offers a path toward respectful, meaningful interactions and faith-driven resilience. We are reminded to trust that whatever the outcome, there is a larger plan, and our role is to support unity and kindness within our communities.

Rabbi Wolfe shares his sermon from the first day of Sukkos in which he explores why we sit in Sukkos on this festive Jewish Holiday.

Please join us in shul tomorrow! If you are able to come, DO NOT listen to this! If not, please take a listen before, or after Yom Kippur!

*We hope to see you at Kol Nidrei tomorrow night! If you can make it, please DO NOT listen to this! If you cannot make it, please check this out sometime before Yom Kippur or after!*

Join Danny and Sara as they reflect on some mind-blowing life lessons from the recent birth of their 8th child.

Rabbi Wolfe shares his sermon from Shabbos Chazon-- an idea about Tisha Bav about what it is that we are mourning, and what we can all do about it. Tisha Bav is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar in which Jews across the world fast and mourn for 25 hours. Among other things, we mourn the destruction of both of our Temples which occurred on this day. Sadly, in a post-October 7th world, for many, this year we can all feel the pain of Tisha Bav more profoundly.
