Rabbi Idan's sermon for this Shabbat HaGadol, Parashat Metzora, is: “Clearing Away Literal and Metaphorical Chametz, and Renewal Through Leshon HaTov—Truthful Speech”

At tonight’s service, we will honor the most recent installation of memorial plaques with a special appearance by the Ahavat Olam ensemble.

Sermon Excerpt: “On Passover, we are reminded to cleanse all the chametz found in our lives: in our homes and our tongues. Just as we physically remove chametz to symbolize the removal of impurities, we must spiritually cleanse our speech, freeing ourselves from the bondage of disinformation, propaganda, and harmful communication patterns Passover also serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of memory, family, and tradition in shaping our identity and values. It is a time to honor our past, celebrate our freedom, and continue praying for the freedom of our ethnic kin held hostage in Hamas captivity.”  --Rabbi Idan
