A Silent God is Still a Working God (featuring LeAnne Whitlow)

There is more than a physicality to sacrifices. In her Dvar Torah for Parashat Vayikra (March 12, 2022), TBE member LeAnne Whitlow explains that Queen Esther, in the spirit of Purim, sacrificed her given name, Hadassah, which connected her to her People, culture, and family to become a unlikely hero for the Jewish people. Temple Beth-El is committed to leading people into growing relationships with Jewish community, wisdom, and practice that help them thrive intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually and that inspire them to build a more compassionate, just, and peaceful world. TBE Richmond Podcast is produced by Benjamin DaCosta-Kaufman. Our theme music is composed and produced by Stephen Frost.
