Orienting Oneself Towards the Greater Good: R. Marcus Rubenstein

A sermon R. Marcus Rubenstein gave on December 11th 2021 at Shabbat Morning Services at Temple of Aaron during Parshat Vayigash. Questions are confronted like, Does everyone have a goal? Are there goal-less people? What does God want from us in our daily lives? How should we orient ourselves in relation to the people and communities we come into contact with. How is Judaism helpfully counter-cultural in our modern society today? The sermon confronts these important questions through the lens of the Biblical story of Joseph, revealing his identity to his brothers. How do the brothers deal with this new shocking revelation?
