I Am Not a Mistake: R. Rachel Rubenstein

A sermon Rabbi Rachel Rubenstein gave at Shabbat morning services at Temple of Aaron on April 30th 2022 on parshat Achrei Mot at the Bat Mitzvah of Maya Katz. R. Rachel speaks about the difference between guilt and shame, and how God values guilt while detests shame. Through the model of the Yom Kippor Temple service and sacrifice, Rabbi Rachel shows how it is imperative that we detach ourselves from shame in order to grow and become who we are are truly meant to be.
