Up Close and Far Away

There is more than one way to behold ourselves and each other; not just close up, which is our default vantage point, but also far away, from God’s perspective.. In his Shabbat message for Parashat Bo, recorded at Temple Beth-El on January 8, 2022, Rabbi Michael Knopf explains that the Exodus story teaches us how to see ourselves and each other in the best possible light, and simultaneously embrace our imperfections and messiness. 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.
