Rabbi Adrian Schell welcomes Secretary of State Steve Reed to Wimbledon Synagogue for Shabbat Vayishlach. This sermon explores the spiritual antidote to populism by connecting it to Jacob’s wrestling with Esau. In this crucial discussion of faith and politics, the Rabbi challenges us all to see the humanity in the 'other'—the refugee, the opponent, or the stranger—and reject the language that builds monsters. A call for social justice and progressive ethics in a divided world.
