A new season. A fresh start. A clean record. Rabbi Lowenberg's Friday Evening Sermon (9/4/26)

Send us Fan MailAs college football season gets underway, every team begins in the same place: 0–0. Whatever happened last season—the wins, the losses, the missed opportunities—is behind them. A new season brings a chance to begin again.In his sermon Friday evening, Rabbi Zevi Lowenberg shared how this idea connects to this moment on our calendar.As we prepare to welcome a new year and enter the High Holy Day season, we, too, are given an opportunity for a fresh start—to reflect on the year behind us, consider who we want to be in the year ahead, and recognize that our story is still being written.
