In her Rosh HaShanah sermon, Rabbi Lauren Henderson explores the deep human need for belonging in a time of loneliness, division, and uncertainty. Drawing on stories from her family history, Jewish tradition, and our modern communal struggles, she asks how we can create spiritual homes of love, safety, and connection. With images of Abraham’s tent and Job’s four doors, she offers a vision of Jewish community that welcomes, empowers, and embraces us fully—inside our congregations and out in the wider world.
