From the terrorist attack on Boulder’s Pearl Street to the broader impact of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, they explore the roots of antisemitism, the role of political extremism, and the need for a two-state solution. Rabbi Sherwood, a UCLA alum with extensive experience as a rabbi in California and a multi-instrumentalist, shares insights from his leadership in both Reform and Conservative Jewish traditions, offering a call for solidarity and education to combat hate.
