Red Shoes on the Bimah

This collection of sermons demonstrate Rabbi Elyse Goldstein's enthusiasm for living a rich Jewish life and finding meaning, her commitment to community, and her passion for social justice. She spoke passionately on feminism, racism, vegetarianism, and environmental issues. Several common themes emerge: express gratitude, live with equanimity, and be fully present. Her timeless sermons encourage everyone to live more simply and engage more fully, to find strength in, and strengthen Jewish community, to treasure Jewish wisdom, to celebrate Shabbat and Jewish ritual, and to make the world better through the practice of Jewish values.
