Collection
You can use Sefaria to post your sermons, Divrei Torah, and Derashot for those in your community and the broader Jewish world to read, watch, and listen to! This is especially important in 2020 when most congregations are unable to meet in person. We've curated this collection of excellent 2020/5781 High Holiday sermons from rabbis across North America. Feel free to read through the content, watch the video recordings, and explore how you can use Sefaria's tools to share the Divrei Torah you would like to offer the world. Interested in having your High Holiday sermons featured in this collection? Check out this sheet to learn how: https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/268239
