Rabbi Zauzmer: Repeating Our Mistakes (August 2, 2025)
On the day before Tisha B'Av, Rabbi Zauzmer discusses repeating patterns — for the Israelites, for us today, and for our society — and how we can stop making the same mistakes over and over.
You Will Be Found
“Have you ever felt like nobody was there?” Taken from Dear Evan Hansen for our recent Jewish Broadway concert, this song speaks to a deep loneliness and longing for connection. Every day, but more intensely this week, we pray for the immediate release of all remaining hostages, for the end of a nightmare for them and their families. Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom — Bring Them Home.

We look forward to our community joining together to welcome 5786. As the prophet Isaiah taught, “For My House shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” (Isaiah 56:7)
In that spirit, we offer numerous opportunities to engage in meaningful prayer and reflection as a community.
Each week, until they are all returned home, we dedicate the mitzvah of hadlakat nerot Shabbat, lighting Shabbat candles, to an individual held in captivity in Gaza. Visit our Israel at War Resource page for more material.
