2012/5773 (Triennial III) -- And He Begrudged Jacob: A Teaching on Responding to Recalcitrance, Polarization, and Violence With all of the violence going on in Israel and the challenges facing us as a polarized world, it is more important than ever to look to our tradition, our faith, and our wisdom collected through the ages to help us make sense of the world.   In this week's Parashah class entitled "And He Begrudged Jacob:  A Teaching on Responding to Recalcitrance, Polarization, and Violence," we will look at the story of Jacob and Esau for guidance on how to handle these difficult times.

Parashat Vayera (וירא) — Shirking Responsibility for Hurricane Sandy?

Parashat Vayera 2012/5773 (Triennial III) -- Shirking Responsibility for Hurricane Sandy? (Genesis 21:1-22:24) During this edition of Rabbi Saks' Online Parashah class, we discuss the similarities and differences between Hurricane Sandy and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Particularly interesting is how the story of Sodom and Gomorrah seems to indicate that humanity has a predilection for shirking our responsibilities for disasters and catastrophes that seem to be beyond our control. Classes from other years: 2014/5775 -- Raping Foreigners (Genesis 19:1-20:18)
