The Inflection Point

Shabbat Shemot Sermon. There’s an ancient Jewish idea that through the dark night of suffering, redemption will come: yeridah l’tzorekh aliyah. In the shadow of violent insurrection, we stand at the inflection point between the death spiral and the promised redemption. There’s a lot of responsibility to go around—but through honesty and accountability, we can turn this weepy night into a joyous morning.
