Episode 269: A Hammer and A Chisel

Hello, this is Rabbi Rob Doberson, and welcome to this edition of Wrestling and Dreaming.

And with this edition of the podcast, I want to begin a series leading up to the High Holy Days.

I want to share with you sermons that I have delivered in the past here at Beth Israel Congregation in Ann Arbor for the High Holy Days.

The sermon that I'm going to share with you in this episode came from 2003.

Some of the references may seem to be a bit outdated, but I think the message is just as important now as it was 23 years ago.

I will also apologize perhaps for the fact that these editions of the podcast may be longer.

than the additions in the past, I hope you'll stick with it.

I hope you'll listen to the whole sermon.

And I'm going to try to read it a bit more slowly than I usually speak in these podcasts, because again, I'm going to be reading the text of the sermon.

So this sermon was delivered on Kol Nidre evening in 2003.
