Burned Alive in Boulder: When Silence Screams
Boulder, Colorado. When I free associate those words, I don’t think of beautiful scenery. Instead what comes to mind is Jon Benet Ramsey’s unsolved kidnapping and murder several decades ago, and now, Jews being set on fire with Molotov...

Foolishness
The incident of the “Sotah,” the woman suspected of being unfaithful to her husband, is quite fascinating. It is the only Mitzva in the Torah that is decided by a miracle. The suspected promiscuous woman is given a concoction to...

The Blessing of Being Seen – Reflections on Parshat Naso
Parshat Naso is the longest Torah portion, filled with details that range from census counts to priestly blessings, from ritual purity to Nazirite vows. On the surface, it can feel technical, even overwhelming. But when I slow down and...

We are Blessed!
The inclusion of the priestly blessings in this week’s portion of Naso, could almost go unnoticed, lost in the minutiae of details, sometimes ominous, outlining life and duties in the desert. The directive also occurs without much preamble where...

Three Years of Writing: Parshat Naso and Personal Reflection

Parshah Through the Mediator’s Lens: Naso

When Judaism is uncompromising, it hurts
At the beginning of each school year, we signed a handbook. In it were the guidelines we agreed to live by if we wanted to stay enrolled and out of trouble: No unsupervised internet. No movie theaters. Modest clothing...
