High Holidays Sermon Rewind: Navigating a Narrow Bridge

The 2025 High Holidays feel like a long time ago, but we still have more to say about our sermons. We recorded this episode of "Center of Gravity" shortly after the High Holidays to give everyone the “story behind the sermon." In this episode, Rabbi Eric Yanoff is joined by Rabbi Andrew Markowitz to reflect on their Rosh Hashanah sermons. They explore themes of connection, joy, and the importance ofnurturing Jewish identity. The discussion emphasizes the need for play as a means of fostering relationships and community, while also acknowledging the challenges of addressing complex issues in sermons.
