Parshat Toldos: Splitting hairs

November 9, 2018 by Binyamin Lieb Leave a Comment

Parshat Toldot

According to what it appears the Torah has to say about hair, though, the issue about a woman’s hair is less about the actual object—the collection of the follicles—but what it represents.

Parshas Chayei Sarah: Maybe Yes, Maybe No

November 5, 2018 by Rabbi Reuven Chaim Klein Leave a Comment

Parshas Lech Lecha – Exhausted or Just Tired?

October 17, 2018 by Rabbi Reuven Chaim Klein Leave a Comment

Tired

Say your prayers, eat your Wheaties, take your vitamins, and you will never go wrong.

Parshas Ki Savo – A Collection of Curses

September 5, 2018 by Rabbi Reuven Chaim Klein Leave a Comment

Ki Tavo curses

Regarding the judge, the Torah uses the word kelalah to denote cursing, while regarding the king, the Torah uses the word arur. Why, in the self-same verse, does the Torah switch from using one word to using the other?

Parashat Ki Tavo: The seeds sown in darkness

August 31, 2018 by Yael Shahar Leave a Comment

Parashat Ki Tavo begins with the description of the bringing of the First Fruits. However, the second half of the parasha describes the horrendous fate that will befall the nation of Israel in the future. The juxtaposition of these two discordant descriptions is no coincidence. Parashat Ki Tavo is a lesson in learning from history.

Parshat Masai: When we don’t know what to decide

July 16, 2018 by Rabbi Ofer Erez Leave a Comment

when we don't know what to decide

The goral contains concealed, hidden wisdom, and it’s knowledge that is coming from a higher, more lofty place than we can grasp ourselves, with our limited minds.

Parshas Pinchas: How to Merit Our Spiritual Inheritance

July 6, 2018 by Yehudis Litvak Leave a Comment

Parshat Pinchas

What can we, the Jews living in this generation, learn from this disagreement over whether the land was divided among those who left Egypt or those who entered the land?

Parashat Balak: The Blessing in Disguise

June 27, 2018 by Yael Shahar Leave a Comment

One of the lessons of Parashat Balak is that things aren’t always what they seem, that human intentions don’t always pan out the way we imagine, and that there is an overall scheme of things invisible to the limited sight of a single generation.
