Text Study with Rabbi Mandell

"No, this is the fast I desire: to unlock the fetters of wickedness... to share your bread with the hungry." — Isaiah 58:6-7 

Following our morning service, stay with us as we gather with Rabbi Mandell to study the traditional Haftarah reading from the Prophet Isaiah. This radical, ancient text beautifully mirrors our seasonal focus on A Vision for the Year Ahead. On Judaism's major fast day, Isaiah powerfully challenges us to look beyond the physical ritual of fasting and focus on our ethical deeds—urging us to choose community, seek justice, and care for one another. Come join the conversation as we reflect on how these words call us to action for the year to come.
