Rabbi Louis Sachs explores how tradition, especially around Passover, can become a burden when we focus more on rules than meaning. Drawing on the image of guarded matzah and a Hasidic tale of a humble Seder, the sermon challenges listeners to reclaim presence, curiosity, and intention in their rituals.
Delivered on Shabbat morning, April 19, 2025.
Torah Outside the Box is a podcast where Rabbi Louis Sachs shares sermons, stories, and reflections that bring Torah beyond the walls of the synagogue. Thoughtful, heartfelt, and occasionally a little provocative, each episode explores how Jewish wisdom speaks to modern life — because Torah belongs not just in the synagogue, but in our lives.
