Rabbi Buchdahl,
First and foremost L’Shana Tovah! You probably will never see this email, but I must tell you that your sermon, “What It Means to be Jewish” has left me in tears, and could be the best sermon I have ever heard! I chose not to livestream my own congregation in St. Louis, but rather join yours this morning. (Too numerous are the reasons but I won’t go into that).
I am that Jew you spoke about, not being Bat Mitzvahed, and only attending synagogue on the High Holidays. But I try ever day to do a Mitzvah, an act of kindness in my own small way.
Thank you for allowing me to feel more Jewish then I have ever felt in my 72 years!
May it be a sweet year for you and your family.
Shalom,
Joan Lebon
