   THE KEEPERS

   For twenty-six years, Brazil’s “Man of the Hole” lived alone in the Amazon, the last survivor of a destroyed people, while strangers quietly protected him from afar. His story makes Cain’s question — “Am I my brother’s keeper?” — painfully literal. Rabbi Dunner explores responsibility, isolation, lost worlds, and what it means to guard another human being, even without gratitude or recognition.

   THROWING STONES

   Ancient idol worship sometimes turned desecration itself into ritual: stones were thrown, and degradation became devotion. Watching the latest UN General Assembly, Rabbi Dunner sees an unsettling parallel. From Javier Milei’s blistering attack to António Guterres’s rhetoric and the walkout during Netanyahu’s speech, the institution’s sacred status seem increasingly at odds with how it is treated. Sukkot offers a radically different vision of nations gathering together.

   THE FESTIVAL OF THE TEMPORARY HOUSE

   Sukkot begins with a flimsy hut and ends with dancing around a Torah scroll. In between come the four species, Kohelet, Hoshana Rabba, Shemini Atzeret, and a series of rituals that seem oddly disconnected. Rabbi Dunner shows how they form one argument: life is temporary, joy is deliberate, belonging requires participation, and every apparent ending is really another fresh beginning.
