Over the last two years, we’ve seen college campuses across the country erupt with cries for “liberation.” The word is everywhere—but I’ve been asking myself: Liberation toward what? And according to whom?
In this episode of Torah from Boca, I’m sharing a sermon I gave on the 7th Day of Passover—one of our tradition’s most powerful moments of liberation. But in Judaism, liberation is never the end of the story. True freedom only begins when we receive revelation. Without moral grounding, “liberation” can turn into something dangerous—even destructive.
Drawing from Torah, the voices of the rabbis, and what’s happening right now on campuses like Columbia, I explore what it really means to be free—and why Jewish liberation must always be tied to covenant, values, and the sacred responsibilities that come with freedom.
If you’ve felt unsettled, confused, or even heartbroken by what you’re seeing unfold around us—this episode is for you.
Join me as we ask: Who are we serving when we cry out for freedom?
