In this episode (recorded for Temple Beth-El’s virtual Shabbat service on December 19, 2020), Rabbi Knopf speaks about the meaning of the extraordinary events of the past week, in which the first wave of frontline healthcare workers in the US began receiving coronavirus vaccines, and about how it’s not enough to make bold statements. Rather, our actions tell the world who we truly are.
