What Does It Mean to be Jewish and American, Part One

In 5772, I tried a sermon experiment: I wrote four High Holy Day sermons looking at a single theme.  The theme I selected was "What does it mean to be Jewish and American?"  I delivered these sermons at a High Holy Day pulpit at Temple Agudath Sholom in Lynchburg, Virginia.  I chose the following progression:

1. Being Jewish locally (in Lynchburg, Virginia)
2. Being Jewish nationally
3. Being Jewish in an international context (in conversation with Zionism)
4. Being Jewish in America as allies to Muslims in America

In this sermon, I consider what life is like for a Jewish Virginian in the context of a Christian majority.
