The rabbi questions how ancient Sages could claim that the blessings outweigh the curses when the curses seem so graphic and realistic. The sermon highlights glimmers of hope, including KKL-JNF's decision to cut funding to West Bank 'farm' outposts and a seminar in Georgia where Progressive Jewish prayer leaders came together to learn and grow. The rabbi encourages listeners to count the blessings around them and to find ways to bring more blessings into the world.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/EFiK1jF1rWpf73Q1y9E9BBM9o9C03CeJAySxU-c8W_c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81NzA3/YWNiNTY4MTE3Mzc3/OWVkZDA4YjU1YjM3/N2YzNC5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
