A sermon, R. Marcus Rubenstein, gave on Saturday, January 1st 2022 at Temple of Aaron Shabbat morning services on Parshat Va-era. Jumping off a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sermon, he pushes us to both fight our daily personal or public battles fervently but to balance that with gentle love of ourselves and our fellow. Moses did just this in his relationship with the Jewish people and God and it is for this reason that Moses connects to God in such a deep way.
