It begins on the Brooklyn Bridge.
The bridge was already standing in 1900. The bridge is still there. Almost everything around it has changed.
In little more than a century, we went from the horse and carriage to artificial intelligence.
We learned how to live longer. Travel faster. Communicate instantly. Put almost all human knowledge into our pockets.
But there is one thing civilization still cannot tell us:
What is worth living for?
That is where Yom Kippur begins.
The sermon moves from the Brooklyn Bridge to the difference between civilization and culture; from what we give our children to what we received from those who came before us; from Yizkor to a remarkable, little-known Midrash about David Hamelech; and finally, to the Bluzhover Rebbe.
And through it all runs one question:
What will live because we lived?
It ends with an uplifting moment designed for the entire shul to join together in singing:
דָּוִד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי וְקַיָּם
A Yom Kippur–Yizkor sermon about what changes, what endures, and what we leave behind.
