Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow: Reflections for the Days of Av
Rabbi Sari Laufer
In her Friday Shabbat sermon on Rosh Chodesh Av, our Rabbi Sari Laufer teaches us a lesson she learned while reading to our Wise Readers to Leaders. The resolution needed to accept the uncertainty of struggling and stumbling of yesterday and today in the hopes of what tomorrow may bring is a powerful one, indeed, and one we can apply to our own everyday lives.
Rabbi Sari ties that lesson into the layers of significance that go into our Jewish holy days — the agricultural, historical, and the aspirational elements — that give our calendar texture and meaning.
