In this episode, recorded live on Aug. 29, 2025, Rabbi Gellman traces why Reform Jews gather on Friday nights—rooted in compassion for workers who couldn’t attend Saturday services—and connects that history to Jewish leadership in America’s labor movement. From Torah’s call, “Justice, justice shall you pursue,” to the struggles of garment workers and today’s fights against wage theft and unsafe conditions, this sermon weaves text, history, and moral urgency into a call to build a holier, fairer economy.
