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, Hope you’re having a great day. Are you ready for a shocker? Here it goes. The “Ten Commandments” is not a Jewish idea! Are you still there? I’m referring to the name. In Hebrew it’s called Aseret Hadibrot.  The Ten Utterances. It’s the commandments, out of hundreds, that we heard straight from G-d. The […]

Thank G-d!  The Akeida has a happy ending! You may remember it from Hebrew School. Or maybe you couldn’t wait and you finished the story! At the last minute G-d tells Abraham to stop. (Genesis 22, 10-13) “You passed the test.  Now I know that you fear G-d! And that’s all I ever wanted.” … […]

Hi, … It’s one of the most famous stories in the Torah. And one of the most difficult. The Akeida.  The “Binding of Isaac”. We could spend weeks on it.  Full time.  Not just a minute a day! But here are some thoughts. G-d commands Abraham to bring his son Isaac as an offering. G-d […]

Hi, Hope you’re having a great day! Here’s one of the most fascinating stories in the Torah.  (Genesis,18) … Abraham is sitting in front of his tent, recuperating from his circumcision.
