Sacred Uniforms & Everyday Integrity – Rabbi Scott Gellman
Tuesday, 3 March, 2026

Recorded live on Friday, Feb. 27, 2026.What are you wearing—and what does it say about you?Rabbi Scott Gellman reflects on the spiritual journey of his kippah and the deeper meaning of the “sacred uniforms” we choose each day. Drawing connections between Parashat Tetzaveh’s priestly garments and the hiddenness of God in the Purim story, Rabbi Gellman explores the tension between concealment and revelation, authenticity and strategy.From Esther’s political courage to the powerful Hebrew wordplay between beged (garment) and boged (betrayal), this sermon asks: When does what we wear reflect our moral core—and when does it hide it? And in moments that matter most, how do we ensure our deepest values are visible?A compelling reflection on integrity, identity, and the responsibility we carry—on our heads, over our hearts, and into the public square.
