Rabbi Levinsky Sermon: August 7
Sometimes we expect prayer to be dramatic—a profound religious experience. This can be misleading. This week we will explore the Rebbe Rashab’s insight that prayer is not meant to transport us out of the world; rather, it is meant to reshape the way we live within it. A sense of wonder is our guide along this path. It leads to an awareness of something greater than ourselves and then back again to where we use that awareness to try to change ourselves and the world. This Shabbat, may we find moments of wonder that inspire us to care for our community, our loved ones, and ourselves.
