Deciding Who We’ll Be

By
Rabbi Sharon Brous

Shabbat Vayera Sermon. Abraham stood at the crossroads between two ancient societies, Sodom and Shalem, challenged by God to determine how he—and his descendants—would live in the world. This week, we too stood at the crossroads, facing the choice between a politics of scarcity and one of abundance. Sodom lacked even ten righteous. America has many millions, dedicated to justice and equity, compassion and care, committed to manifesting our most audacious dreams in a beautiful, shared reality.
