  • The Day After Sinai

    Parashat Mishpatim contains one of the largest collections of mitzvoth of any single parashah. It ranges from the laws of slavery, to property damage, to personal injury law, to some agricultural laws. If you can think of a legal matter that is about the proper functioning of society, it can be found in Mishpatim.

  • The Commandment of Inclusion 

    We are probably aware that the month of February is Black History Month. School children across the nation are exposed to black writers and thinkers as they devote classroom time to the history of black people in America. Given the events of last spring and summer, and the renewed spirit and energy in the fight for racial equity and justice, I pray that this time is being spent well and meaningfully.

  • The Torah: A Blueprint for Creativity

    There is a Far-Side cartoon that depicts God creating the world. In it, God is seen wearing an apron and chef’s hat surrounded by all of the necessary ingredients to create the world.

The image of God as cosmic chef or maybe even mad-scientist is a common one. But is that how our tradition views the creation?

  • Torah is the Best Treasure

    “Children, we have now Simches torah / It's Simches torah all over the world / Torah is the best treasure / – At least that's what the rabbi says.” This verse, from a song entitled “Simches Toyre”, is a key to understanding just how joyous our final holiday of the season is.
