“I Will Be What I Will Be" — Calling Upon God's Name

This week, as we begin the Book of Exodus — in Hebrew, the book of Shemot, or "names" — Rabbi Buchdahl explores the power of our own names and the names of the Divine. One of the most powerful names for God in the Torah reading comes from the burning bush, where God reveals the name "Eheyeh Asher Eheyeh" — often translated as "I Am Who I Am" or "I Will Be What I Will Be." Through this name, God offers the assurance of being whatever is needed in times of challenge. Join us as we meditate on the names we carry, how the Divine manifests in our world, and how we can draw upon the strength we need to meet this moment.
