Hi, Hope you’re having a great day. (And if you have been effected by the storm? I hope things improve very quickly.) … Today is Halloween. Not usually a topic for a Torah Minute. But I wanted to share something I think all Jews should think about today. And be proud of. It was something […]

Hi, Hope all is well. … Commercial time during the Super Bowl is a bit expensive. Like $2.5 million for 30 seconds! Last year one of the major sponsors was Cadillac. They unveiled a huge campaign. “Under 5”. Promoting a new model with the ability to do something unbelievable. Accelerate from 0-60 in less than […]

Hi, Hope you’re having a great day! As we saw yesterday, Pharaoh wanted Moshe dead. Moshe escapes to Midian, where he sees a group of women being harassed.  He saves them and waters their sheep. … It’s pretty amazing. Moshe is in a strange place.  The most powerful person on earth is out to kill […]

Hi, Please allow a personal note for the second time. The first was a tribute to my Dad on the anniversary of his passing.  His “yartzeit.” Today is a tribute to my Mom on her yartzeit. … You may remember that my Dad did not come from an observant background. And what happened? He met […]

Hi, I was asked to clarify the last few lines of yesterday’s “Torah Minute.” I wrote them as “deadline” was approaching! “… We’re not likely to ever meet an angel. But the more acts of kindness we choose to do? The more we choose to elevate our lives? The less it matters!” … I was […]

Hi, Sorry about Friday.  I finally found a computer that is working! … Leah.  Together with Rachel, the mother of the Jewish People. Her fourth son was Judah. … “I will gratefully thank G-d.” “ And she called his name Judah.”  (Genesis, 29:35) As we have seen, Judah means to thank. And in Jewish tradition, […]

Hi, Here are some thoughts about Rachel. One of the four Matriarchs.  The spiritual mothers of the Jewish people. Together with Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah. Her story is sad. For many years she had no children. Finally, she gives birth to Joseph. (Genesis, 30:22) And then to Benjamin. But she dies in childbirth.  (35:16-20) … […]

Hi,   Sorry I missed you on Friday.   We were speaking about the importance shared goals in a marriage.   … And shared goals don’t just make a marriage more meaningful.   They make it more romantic!   Because the more meaningful our goals?   The deeper our lives.   And the deeper the […]

Hi, We can’t seem to avoid it. The Torah keeps coming back to weddings! Now its time for Jacob to find a wife. (Genesis, 28:1-4) … Isaac gives Jacob a charge. “Do not take a wife from the Canaanite women.” Or in other words, “Don’t marry out.” And Isaac sends Jacob to look in his […]
