In his sermon for the 2nd Day of Rosh Hashanah 5775, Rabbi Knopf argues that, for the sake of the welfare of the American Jewish community and Israel, our communal conversation about Israel should be guided by our legacy as a people of the Talmud.   http://media.blubrry.com/jcasttotalfeed/JCastNetwork.org/storage/Tisch/S005.mp3Podcast: Download

Experiential Education

Rabbi Knopf’s Saturday message for Parashat Nitzavim-VaYelekh (September 20, 2014): Some refrain from Jewish observances because they think they get the point, or think there is no point. But the only way to know the ancient wisdom Jewish practice teaches is by taking a “leap of action.”   http://media.blubrry.com/jcasttotalfeed/JCastNetwork.org/storage/Tisch/S003.mp3Podcast: Download

Don’t Look Away

Rabbi Knopf’s Saturday message for Parashat Ki Tetzei (September 6, 2014): The brokenness of our world might make us tempted to turn off the news and ignore what’s going on. But don’t be tempted to look away. The world needs you now more than ever. http://media.blubrry.com/jcasttotalfeed/JCastNetwork.org/storage/Tisch/148.mp3Podcast: Download

Does Power Corrupt

Rabbi Knopf’s Friday message for Parashat Ki Tetzei (September 5, 2014): The prevalence of political scandals in our time – notably the recent conviction of former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell – do not prove that power corrupts. Rather, power simply amplifies our innate characteristics. http://media.blubrry.com/jcasttotalfeed/JCastNetwork.org/storage/Tisch/147.mp3Podcast: Download

Conflict Resolution

Rabbi Knopf’s Saturday message for Parashat Shoftim (August 22, 2014): Many of us feel that in a disagreement, there is only right and wrong, winner and loser. But often, there is more than one right way, and more than one way to win. That’s why the Torah teaches us to actively pursue compromise. http://media.blubrry.com/jcasttotalfeed/JCastNetwork.org/storage/Tisch/146.mp3Podcast: Download

Rabbi Knopf’s Friday message for Parashat Shoftim (August 22, 2014): This month leading up to the High Holy Days is a time for the valuable task of evaluating ourselves. But when you judge yourself, remember to judge yourself fairly. http://media.blubrry.com/jcasttotalfeed/JCastNetwork.org/storage/Tisch/145.mp3Podcast: Download

Perspective and Reality

Rabbi Knopf’s Saturday message for Parashat Re’eh (August 23, 2014): The quality of our life is often dictated by how we choose to see our life. And how we relate to the world is strongly connected to how we choose to view the world. http://media.blubrry.com/jcasttotalfeed/JCastNetwork.org/storage/Tisch/143.mp3Podcast: Download
