Shabbat sermon at Beth El Congregation in Baltimore. (July 12, 2025)
Ben Kreshtol, the Ritual Director at Beth El Congregation, delivers an enlightening Shabbat sermon. He discusses the transformative power of speech in creation, particularly through Hebrew letters and their divine impact. Kreshtol highlights how prayer serves as a vehicle for blessing and cursing, rooted in Jewish tradition. He also emphasizes the importance of communal prayer, illustrating how individual voices contribute to the collective spiritual experience, much like the angel Sandalfon weaving prayers into divine crowns.
