This is the Shabbat when historically our people would settle in to services because it was the longest sermon of the year, all about how to halakhically prepare your home for Passover. That is not what we’re talking about today. Instead, we’re talking about
- [Rabbinic Intern Eliza Scheffler - Shabbat HaGadol 5781](https://cbebk.org/rabbinic-intern-eliza-scheffler-shabbat-hagadol-5781-dvar-torah/) - Cleaning Out the Chametz in Our Houses and Ourselves Sometimes, the Jewish calendar aligns perfectly with the natural cycles of life. Like in the winter, how our Chanukah candles bring light to the darkest days of the year. And we celebrate Sukkot, the harvest holiday, when the farmers’ market is full of fall produce. Passover
- [Rabbi Rachel Timoner - 7th Day of Passover](https://cbebk.org/rabbi-rachel-timoner-7th-day-of-passover-dvar-torah/) - This Shabbat, this seventh day of Pesach, we read from Parashat Beshallach in the Book of Exodus. We read of our people’s departure from Egypt, the pursuit of Pharaoh and his many chariots, the splitting of the Sea of Reeds, and the triumphant Song of the Sea once we’ve crossed to the other side.

Hanukkah ended yesterday, and the longest night of winter is still ahead. Vaccinations began this week, thank God, but it will be many months until we can enjoy their protection. Dreams will be what carry us through the long, dark winter. Dreams are our light in the dark. Harper, you taught us

- [Rabbi Rachel Timoner - "The Darkest Night": Shabbat Vayeishev 5781](https://cbebk.org/rabbi-rachel-timoner-the-darkest-night-shabbat-vayeishev-5781/) - It’s not an accident that Hanukkah encompasses the longest, darkest nights of the year. That’s because it contains the new moon closest to the winter solstice, combining the lunar calendar with the solar calendar for maximum darkness. In our Torah portion this week, there is a parallel descent into darkness. The parsha opens sunnily enough

- [Rabbi Matt Green - Shabbat Vayeitzei 5781](https://cbebk.org/rabbi-matt-green-shabbat-vayeitzei-5781/) - What are we doing when we pray? My guess is that this is a question that many of you have asked yourselves before. Presumably if you’re here this morning, many of you find something within prayer that’s worth drawing you away from other holiday weekend festivities. Among the clergy at CBE, I am probably the

I don’t think we’ve ever had anyone do that before, and it was as if your medium was your message.

I also think that your idea that Abraham was trying to feel equal to the Hittites is smart and perceptive. I was particularly taken by the idea that Abraham was trying, through his actions, to secure

You added your voices to Torah today, becoming our teachers while showing us a new facet of Torah we may never have seen before. Laila, you showed us that in this parashah, women—Sarai and Hagar—were seen as not much more than vessels for reproduction. That they

I love that you connected rest to freedom, Shabbat to Shmita to Yom Kippur to Yovel (Jubilee).

Joe was asking what caused the ten plagues, a question that could be answered scientifically (whether through scientific theory or archeology), religiously, or literarily, through text criticism. This is a question of what is true.
- [Rabbi Rachel Timoner - Shabbat Bo 5781 Nechemta](https://cbebk.org/36214-2/) - Russell, your d’var Torah explored this parasha and the issue of Pharaoh’s hardened heart in a totally original way, as you explored the terrifying feeling of being out of control in our emotions. You showed us that not only is this a universal human experience, it is an experience that the Torah tells us God
