This Is “We”: What Jewish Belonging Requires | Rabbi Asher Knight | Yom Kippur 2026

What does it mean to truly belong to a Jewish community, and what responsibility does that belonging ask of us? In his Yom Kippur morning sermon for 5787, Senior Rabbi Asher Knight explores arevut, the Jewish principle that we are responsible for one another. Beginning with the collective language of Yom Kippur’s confessions, he asks how we can build a Jewish community where fewer people have to carry their lives alone. Belonging is not only something we receive. It is something we help create by noticing who is missing, welcoming someone who is new, and becoming people others can count on. “I can count on someone here. Someone here can count on me.” Read the full sermon: https://templebethel.org/this-is-we-w... Recorded at Temple Beth El in Charlotte, North Carolina, on September 21, 2026.
