Confronting the Moral Stain

By
Rabbi Sharon Brous

Hukkat 5781 Sermon. Only when we reckon honestly with the past can we be liberated us from its grip. #Juneteenth must be more than a symbolic gesture. We must not only remember slavery, but work to upend its legacy in America and build a truly just and equitable society in its place. Kaddish for Black Lives can be found here.
