Hi, I very much enjoy and appreciate Torah Minute feedback. It’s great to hear that someone was touched by it.  Inspired by it. And even changed by it. I got quite a few responses to the last one. About Rabbi Leibowitz being creative about washing the dishes. Despite his wife’s efforts to prevent it. Many […]

Hi, Hope you’re enjoying the nice weather while we have it. Autumn is here. Which means a few things to me as a jogger. On one hand? The trees are getting beautiful. And jogging through a park or even a tree lined street can be breathtaking. But fall makes me think of something else. My […]

Hi, It’s an old saying. What does every woman want to hear? ‘I love you”! Like many old sayings? There are newer versions these days. Sometimes improved, sometimes not. Here’s a newer version. What does every woman want to hear? “I’ll clean up”! … In Jewish tradition, there is a metaphor used to describe us. […]

Hi, “Do not cheat your neighbor. Do not steal”. (Leviticus, 19:13) So far so good. If you were into those things? You probably wouldn’t be reading the Torah Minute! But if someone provides services for us and payment is due upon completion of the job? There it’s little easier to slip up. “Oh I’m sorry. […]

Hi, O.K. It was very interesting. A religious Jew received a Nobel Prize and observed Shaatnez. His “official tie and tails” was free of a mixture of wool and linen. He observed one of the commandments that defies our understanding. But some Torah Minute readers were wondering. Does Jewish tradition offer any insights into the […]
