This sermon was given on Erev Rosh Hashanah at Congregation B'nai Torah in Westminster, CO on September 22, 2025 by Rabbi Greg Marcus

Rabbi Greg opens with some of his story, including explaining that he rarely went to services other than the High Holidays, and told the audience if they were in good company if that was their pattern too.

During the creation story, the Divine says it is not good for a human to be alone, and created a second human to be a companion to the A-dam, the first human. But how long was the A-dam alone? It could have been centuries. The remainder of the sermon provides guidance from Jewish Wisdom to help us overcome our own loneliness, and how to help others overcome their loneliness.
