Summary: <p>Years ago, when I was living in Israel, I remember going to visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs (Ma’arat haMachpelah) in Hevron. I remember feeling totally overwhelmed by the sheer number of visitors and by all the sounds. There were tourists snapping their cameras and talking loudly about the history of the place and about plans for lunch. There were what felt like hundreds of Orthodox Jewish men praying in blocs, Hebrew prayers racing fluently through their mouths as they turned pages in unison. There were Hassidic Jews swaying and crying out, tears literally streaming down their faces as they poured out their souls to God. There were so many people there, it was hard even to move through the site.</p> <p>Follow this link to view the sermon and watch the live streaming version on our website <a href="https://www.templeemanuel.com/rabbi/rabbi-aliza-berger/beyond-the-hashtag/">https://www.templeemanuel.com/rabbi/rabbi-aliza-berger/beyond-the-hashtag/</a></p>
