Responsibility and Humility2025

The Father's Perspective 

The name of the Parshah, "Vayeshev," means "And he dwelt" and it is found in Genesis 37:1.Jacob settles in Hebron with his twelve sons. His favorite is seventeen-year-old Joseph, whose brothers are jealous of the preferential treatment he receives from his father, such as a precious many-colored coat that Jacob makes for Joseph. Joseph relates to his brothers two of his dreams which foretell that he is destined to rule over them, increasing their envy and hatred towards him.

The name of the Parshah, "Vayishlach," means "And he sent" and it is found in Genesis 32:4.Jacob returns to the Holy Land after a 20-year stay in Charan, and sends angel-emissaries to Esau in hope of a reconciliation, but his messengers report that his brother is on the warpath with 400 armed men. Jacob prepares for war, prays, and sends Esau a large gift (consisting of hundreds of heads of livestock) to appease him.

In the aftermath of October 7, Jews around the world experienced a surge of emotion and identity—an outpouring of Jewish adrenaline. But as the energy fades, the real question emerges: what does it actually mean to live a meaningful Jewish life?Rabbi Bernath draws from Dan Senor's "State of World Jewry" Speech and 92Y last week, A.B. Yehoshua's challenge to diaspora Jews, and the timeless answers offered by our prophets and sages—from King David to the Rebbe. He reminds us that Jewish life isn't about where you live, but how you live: with integrity, with mitzvos, with visible Jewish pride.Rooted in this week's Parshah, the sermon invites us to reclaim the mitzvos that affirm who we are in a world trying to forget us—and reminds us that the most radical act of Jewish survival is living Jewish every single day.Key Takeaways:October 8th Jews Need More than Adrenaline: Emotional response to tragedy must evolve into sustainable Jewish living—rooted in action, not just feeling.Geography Isn't Identity: Living in Israel doesn't automatically make one Jewish in practice. Living Jewishly—through mitzvot and moral clarity—does.Our Prophets Knew the Secret: King David, Isaiah, Micah, and Chavakuk each distilled Judaism to its ethical essence, but only because ritual was then a given. In exile, the inverse is true—we must rebuild our ritual identity.The Rebbe's Mitzvah Campaign Echoes the Prophets: Strategic mitzvot like tefillin, Shabbat candles, and kosher aren't just practices—they are declarations of identity.We Must Lead Jewish Lives—Loudly and Proudly: In today's world, being visibly Jewish is an act of courage and continuity.
