At Friday night's Kabbalat Shabbat service, Rabbi Leizman comments on the week's Torah portion, L'ech L'cha, and the origin of the covenant between God and the Jewish people. He emphasizes that our Jewish tradition transcends politics, yet we are responsible for our public, communal, and moral engagement with the world.
