Rabbi Levinsky Sermon: September 12
This week, I’ve been reflecting on Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel’s warning that while we need not renounce technology, we must remain independent from it. In Jerusalem years ago, a friend chose to fast not from food on Yom Kippur, but from technology. Shabbat gives us the same gift: a chance to step back, to ask which devices connect us and which divide us, and to choose presence over distraction. May this Shabbat make us more attentive to our choices, and remind us that holiness is found in one another.
