Rabbi Zuckerman: The Courage to Speak, the Courage to Endure (May 3, 2025)

In this week’s sermon, Rabbi Zuckerman reflects on the courage of speaking out through the lens of our recent guest speaker, Montana Tucker, who chose to share their personal beliefs—despite the threat of digital retribution from her multimillions of followers. Drawing on themes of moral clarity and responsibility, he addresses the growing silence around antisemitism, the alarming decline in American support for Israel, and the moral rot spreading across college campuses. A compelling call to call upon our collective courage to counterbalance this rot that has crept into our day-to-day.
