Who are you when no one’s watching? In a world where we’re always presenting a version of ourselves, how do we stay connected to who we really are? Rabbi David Segal explores authenticity in the digital age through the story of Rebecca in Chayei Sarah, questions raised by Elizabeth Holmes’s public persona, and the pressure to keep performing online. Drawing on Jewish commentary and contemporary insights into identity, Rabbi Segal considers how Shabbat and Torah study can help us step away from the performance, examine the stories we tell about ourselves, and become people whose outsides match their insides.

In this sermon:
✅ What interpretations of Rebecca reveal about the stories we tell
✅ Why we need “backstage” time away from public expectations
✅ How Shabbat creates space for connection and self-discovery
✅ What it means to live with integrity, inside and out

Take a few minutes to pause and consider: Where in your life do you feel most free to be yourself?
