To Uproot Injustice

By
Rabbi Sharon Brous

Shabbat Bo 5781 Sermon. Like Pharaoh, we must learn that there is no compromise with injustice. Oppressive, supremacist ideologies cannot be accommodated, they must be eradicated. This is the prophetic imperative: to uproot injustice. Until the malignancies of racism, misogyny and greed are uprooted—from our hearts and from our institutions—the work is not yet done.
