Rabbi Idan's sermon for this Shabbat, Parashat Vayera, is: “From Abraham to Lavi: A Celebration of Tradition and Togetherness”
Rabbi Idan's audio during much of the service was distorted with an echo, hence this podcast has been shorted. But we have a glorious treat with the #MusicMagic performed by Tutti and Ron Druyan! ENJOY!!
