Rabbi Frimmer – Sermon – Shabbat Devarim 5778 – We need to reinvest ourselves in learning about Israel’s government, understanding who has power and how that power is sustained and familiarizing ourselves with the non-profits that help to protect Israel’s democracy and create its democratic infrastructure. We need to pay closer attention to the struggles of non-Orthodox Jews in Israel, those looking for validation and legal permission to practice as they choose. It is unconscionable to tolerate a lack of tolerance for non-Orthodox Jewish identity in this supposed Jewish nation.
