Love as the Ultimate Inheritance (Vayechi)
Vayechi invites us to reflect on the affirmation of life even as we encounter the inevitability of death. Here we stand, at the conclusion of Sefer Breisheet, the Book of Genesis, where we’ve journeyed through the story of our...

What happened when Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden fruit?
Thinking what it means is more important than memorizing set readings I always assume that at the moment the first humans violated the First Commandment, the Evil Inclination invaded them. This predisposition, ever since, entices us like the snake enticed...

You’re One Decision Away From a Totally Different Life
Let's Dance for Them this Simchas Torah! Simchas Torah this week is not an easy day, as it recalls the horrors of October 7th on Simchas Torah one year ago. Many tell me that they're simply not in the mood of dancing...

The Power of Example (Lech Lecha, Covenant & Conversation)

Israel at War 5785: Breishit and Noach – Two Floods
When I started blogging about the war a little over a year ago,* the only other player besides Israel was Gaza. Hence my blog title, "Israel-Gaza War." But the war has expanded to include Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis...

Depth Over Breadth- Bereishit 5785
For those of us keeping track, we spent the last two days celebrating Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. These are two of my favorite holidays; Shemini Atzeret because it’s simply a “day off”, with no special rituals, and Simchat...

Torat Eretz Yisrael: An Everlasting Gift
In the second perek of פרשת בראשית, Pasuk יב, the Torah reads, “וּֽזְהַ֛ב הָאָ֥רֶץ הַהִ֖וא ט֑וֹב שָׁ֥ם הַבְּדֹ֖לַח וְאֶ֥בֶן הַשֹּֽׁהַם׃” “And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the shoham stone:” Why do we need...

Sing with me
It is no coincidence that we restart the Torah reading cycle after Sukkos. Sure, we are almost an entire month into the new year, but it is only once we’ve done the avoda of the Tishrei chagim, that we...
