Vayishlah: Embracing Our Only-Ones

By
Rabbi Sharon Brous

Shabbat Vayishlah Sermon. As we celebrate an important first in our community, we commit to doing what Jacob and the brothers failed to do for Dina: we will strive to make sure our kids know that while they may be different, they are not alone. We will see them, love them and affirm them in all of their many truths.
