Parashat M’tzora (מצורע) — Are You Proactive or Reactive?

2013/5773 (Triennial III) -- Are You Proactive or Reactive? Double Torah Portion: Tazria/M'tzora The Torah teaches us that when the Israelites settled in the land of Canaan, some of their houses were plagued and needed to be purified. Is there a deeper meaning to these plagues? What do they teach us about human nature? We will investigate this question through the lens of a great Hassidic thinker who viewed these plagues as representing the human struggle between being pro-active versus re-active. Why are there times we act before something becomes a problem, and there are times we act as a result of something being a problem? Is one way better than the other? How does this[...]

Parashat Sh’mini (שמיני) — Why Is Pig So Unkosher?

2013/5773 (Triennial III) -- Why Is Pig So Unkosher? Pigs (or "swine") are seen as the most un-kosher animal. To what extent is this true? Does the Torah designate pig as unkosher as the rabbis seem to do? And is it possible that one day...pigs could be kosher?!?!

2013/5773 (Triennial III) -- Elevating Our Offerings Our traditions teach us that there are specific ways in which we can connect to God, but how do those ways connect to us? How can we elevate our ways of connecting to God so that we feel as if we're connecting with ourselves as well?

Parashat P’kudei (פקודי) — Can We Ever Finish Our Work?

2013/5773 (Triennial) -- Can We Ever Finish Our Work? Double Torah Portion: Vayakhel/P'kudei The pace of our lives is ever frantic and it never seems that we have any time to breathe. In fact, it is often possible to feel guilty when we're not busy with something. Can this week's Torah portion, and Moses and God in particular, teach us about how to rest in the midst of the craziness of life? Are we doomed to work till we drop or can there be some respite?

Parashat Ki Tissa (כי תשא) — Where Is God’s Face?

2013/5773 (Triennial III) -- Where is God's Face? In this week's Torah portion, Moses asks God to lead the Israelites by saying "im eyn panekha holkhim" -- "unless Your face leads us." God agrees to lead the people, and to bring Moses closer to God, but only if God hides God's own face. Throughout biblical literature, the idea of God hiding and showing God's face is connected to whether or not God is with us or supporting us. Why is God's face often hidden and is there any point in which God shows God's face to us? Classes from other years... Online Learning Online Parashah Class
