Weekly Torah Portion: Shelach 5776
from TI

The generation of the desert paid a high price for their lack of belief in themselves, but received the sweetest and most profound affirmation of G-d's belief in them: the promise that their children will indeed enter the land, build the Holy Temple, and share time and space in the [...]

Weekly Torah Portion: Beha’alotcha 5776
from TI

Beha'alotcha and the art of complaining: The professional complainers in the desert turned complaining from a spontaneous response to discomfort into a premeditated attempt to change fate and flee from destiny, grumbling about everything from “my feet hurt” to “I don't wanna eat my manna!” Beha'alotcha (Numbers 8:1-12:16) Parashat Beha'alotcha is read [...]

Weekly Torah Portion: Naso 5776
from TI

From the Levitical responsibilities in the Tabernacle, to the ‘wayward' woman and the Nazir, to the priestly blessing first uttered by Aharon, to the identical gifts to G-d brought to the altar by the heads of all twelve tribes, parashat Naso is all about G-d's embracing His people and all [...]

Weekly Torah Portion: Bechukotai 5776
from TI

The book of Leviticus concludes with a stark but promising choice: Either regard life as void of meaning, empty of purpose, vacant, meaningless and futile and discover that life regards you likewise, and suffer the torturous consequences, or “follow My [G-d's] statutes and observe My commandments and perform them,” and [...]

Weekly Torah Portion: Behar 5776
from TI

The life force that G-d bestows upon all creation transcends time and space and invests all creation with holiness. By the laws of shemittah (7 year sabbatical cycle) and Yovel (49 year Jubilee cycle), Torah commands Israel to take possession of both time and space in order to reveal and [...]

Weekly Torah Portion: Emor 5776
from TI

The Holy Temple is not simply a unique place and time within which G-d's presence dwells and can be experienced by all who enter. The Holy Temple, within which G-d's presence is overwhelmingly in the here and now, shapes for all humanity, near and far, the space and time in [...]

Weekly Torah Portion: Kedoshim 5776
from TI

“You shall be holy, for I, HaShem, your G-d, am holy.” How is that possible? What is required? How is it to be achieved? Parashat Kedoshim describes what it takes to be holy because G-d is holy, and why this imperative, which applies to the entire nation, is included in [...]

Weekly Torah Portion: Metzora 5776
from TI

We speak, therefore we are human. In order to preserve our humanity we must take hold of our tongues and speak only things worthy of the name G-d gave to the man He created – Adam. The spiritual palliative prescribed by Torah provides for the metzora a way to [...]

Weekly Torah Porton: Tazria 5776
from TI

Language is G-d's gift to man, enabling man to communicate both practical information and the loftiest of sentiments. But the misinterpretation of language can lead to a misunderstanding of Torah principles and the hijacking of language for the purpose of harming others is a problem so severe that G-d Himself [...]

Weekly Torah Portion: Shemini 5776
from TI

When “the glory of HaShem appeared to” Israel “and all the people saw, sang praises, and fell upon their faces,” they sang in one perfectly pitched, harmonious voice. How do we recreate that moment? How do we stay in tune with G-d, with our own true selves, day after day? [...]
