Rabbi Yisrael Motzen serves as rabbi of Ner Tamid Greenspring Valley Synagogue in Baltimore, MD.
He’s someone who takes his sermon speaking slot very seriously.
Rabbi Motzen is that rare dichotomy of high intention - he’s very thought out about how he goes about preparing and delivering his Drashos - but on the other hand - he places a premium on flexibility; he refuses to be pinned down to any one style or system of Drasha,
He’s even been known to dispense with the weekly Parsha in his sermon altogether
What I love about Rabbi Motzen is the high standard he holds himself to, and his philosophy that the live drasha needs to be an experience you can’t get anywhere else
We cover so many topics in our time together like:
- How to strike a balance between being vulnerable with your congregation and not oversharing
- The time Rabbi Motzen fainted in the middle of his sermon
- The power of having a partner to collaborate with
- The need for truly honest feedback
- And how to stay hyper attuned to audience attention and engagement
I learned so much from my conversation and I’m sure you will, too.
