In this sermon recorded live on Sept. 19, 2025, Rabbi Gellman explores how hope and responsibility are always within reach—“not in the heavens… nor beyond the sea,” but “in your mouth and in your heart.” Drawing on Parshat Nitzavim, Pirkei Avot, and the rhythms of Elul, he reframes overwhelm into action: the work of teshuvah and community care as daily, doable steps. With the High Holy Days approaching, Rabbi Gellman invites us to use our voices, choose blessing, and practice the hard—but possible—mitzvot that make repair real.
