High Holidays 5784/2023

Dear all,

I wanted to share this year’s High Holiday sermons. Included below are YouTube videos of my sermons, which were delivered to Congregation Shaarey Torah in Canton, OH, where I was the visiting rabbi for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The texts of each sermon are available as well; just let me know if you’d like to read them.

For each of the videos below, you have to scroll ahead to find the sermons. The videos contain the FULL service for each holiday, so unless you want to watch 4 hours (!!), you will need to scroll ahead to the times I indicated below each video. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Warmly,

Jeremy

Teaching and Tutoring

Hi again, everyone! 

I wanted to check in and let you know about a new venture I am starting. I will be offering some courses on Judaism, as well as individual tutoring for anyone interested. Courses include a weekly Bible study, a Basic Judaism course, and several other potential topics, like a Hebrew reading class, Rituals and Ceremonies in Judaism, and an in-depth study of Pirkei Avot (the Ethics of Our Ancestors). 

As for tutoring, I am offering B’nai Mitzvah teaching (prayer leading, chanting, and writing a D’var Torah/sermon), conversion, Hebrew reading and writing, and more. I’m including a flyer below about some of the opportunities that are available. Please reach out if you’re interested in learning together! Thanks so much.

Warmly,

Rabbi Gerber
