2014/5774 (Triennial I): Keeping Track of What's Important
We make lists of all sorts of things, from home supplies, to daily tasks, to a "bucket" list of what we want to do in life. Yet aren't there times when it feels like writing down or keeping track of all of those lists are just a burden? Wouldn't it be better if sometimes we didn't have to worry about keeping track of things? This week's Torah portion of P'kudei might give us some interesting insight on the spiritual component of keeping track of what's important and how to manage the important tasks of our day.

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?
