'Time to Come Home': Rabbis on This High Holiday Season

Any rabbi seeking to connect his or her High Holiday sermons to current events has plenty to draw from this year. There's the global public health crisis that has claimed more than 4 million lives. There's the recent conflict in Israel and Gaza. There's the cloud of climate change and its accelerating impacts on daily life. And so on. During this time of renewal and introspection, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reached out to rabbis spanning geography and denominations to ask for reflections on this unique moment -- and what messages they are sharing with their communities during these High Holidays.
