Between Truth and Peace - Rabbi Max Antman

Recorded live on Dec. 12, 2025, Rabbi Max Antman explores Parashat Vayeshev in a sermon titled “Between Truth and Peace.” Drawing on a powerful midrash about the angels of truth and peace, Rabbi Antman reflects on the danger of wielding truth without compassion and the spiritual cost of honesty that fractures relationships rather than heals them.

Through the story of Joseph and his brothers, contemporary examples, and personal reflection, this sermon asks what it means to balance emet (truth) and shalom (peace) in a world shaped by trauma, misinformation, and division. Rabbi Antman challenges us to consider not only whether something is true, but how and why we choose to say it — and invites us to speak in ways that build dignity, connection, and hope.
