Park Avenue Synagogue Podcast

Three years after October 7th, the blood of the victims still cries out. What does that cry demand of us? Drawing on the biblical story of Cain and Abel and a landmark report documenting Hamas’s atrocities, Rabbi Cosgrove reflects on our responsibility to preserve truth against denial, distortion, and erasure.

For his Yizkor sermon, Rabbi Pink explains the hidden meaning behind the matzevah, the stone erected to honor a deceased loved one.

As we go from Yom Kippur to Sukkot, Rabbi Zuckerman explains that we must use the inward reflection of Yom Kippur to move outward differently, because if we do not know and tell our own story, others will tell our story for us.

On the second day of Sukkot, Rabbinic Intern Claire Davidson Bruder explores Rabbinic texts about the holiday and its rituals, uncovering Sukkot's call for Jewish unity even in times of strife.

As Yom Kippur draws to a close, Rabbi Cosgrove reminds us that life is fleeting and none of us knows how long we will have. He urges us to live today so that were it to be our last day, we would have no regrets.
