Shabbat Sermon: Time to Drag Out Our Mattresses with Rabbi Aliza Berger

Published: June 13, 2020, 8 p.m.

I want to speak to you today as a millennial.

\n

As a millennial, people tell me I don\u2019t understand\u2014that problems take time to resolve, they take nuance, they take patience.  But I know that just because things have been a certain way, doesn\u2019t mean that\u2019s how they need to stay. As a millennial, I know that often we do not have the luxury of time. If we want to make our world conform to our values, we may have to upset industries, we likely have to forge new paths, and we can\u2019t always rely on the systems that existed for our parents and those before them. As a millennial, I know that often the greatest obstacle to the evolution of the planet is the common human aversion to change. As long as we are more attached to the certainty of what is known than the uncertainty of change, progress will remain elusive.
