Bamidbar 5773
The two paths are very clear: a life of partnership with our Father in Heaven and the feeling of being part of the eternal history of the Jewish nation, or a life of dull, insignificant,undistinguished, uninspired mediocrity.
Behar and Bechukotai 5773
The table was set, the aroma of culinary mastery filled the air, the bottles of fabled wine were opened – but the invited guests did not come.
Acharei-Kedoshim 5773
Without being judgmental, I thought about how either one of these giants could have – with one sentence – changed the path of Jewish history in a way not done since the times of Moshe Rabbeinu or Ezra Hasofer. I cannot know what went on in the minds of these two great people, but the facts speak for themselves.
Tazria-Metzora 5773
What we call “humanity” is very much a part of the bestial, animal world. I know that this is a difficult concept to accept, especially in view of the “righteous gentiles” who endangered their lives to save Jews…
Shemini 5773
Aharon remained silent because he understood the message that HaShem had sent to the Jewish people. It is incumbent upon each Torah Jew to try and understand the messages HaShem is constantly sending us, as Aharon was able to do at the demise of his two sons.
Tzav Shabbat HaGadol 5773
R. Yoshiah says do not read the word “matzot” to mean only matzot, but read it to refer also to the mitzvot (commandments), and just as one must not procrastinate while baking the matzot and thus cause them to be chametz, one should not procrastinate in keeping a mitzva but must fulfill the mitzva immediately.
