Vayeira: Hospitality (and links)

You have probably been reading or following along with the destruction from Superstorm Sandy. I hope everyone is safe and warm. I just read about our shul (synagogue) bussing people down from NY and NJ to spend Shabbat as guests with heat and power. What an amazing mitzva, and so appropriate for this week! This …

V’Zot HaBerachah: Resources and ideas

This is a little different piece of Torah – it’s the section we read to finish the Torah before we start again! V’zot HaBerachah (V’zos Habracha) tells of the blessings that Moshe gave to the shevatim (twelve tribes of Israel) before his death. It remembers Jacob’s blessings to his twelve sons and gives each tribe its strength and place …

Haazinu: Resources and ideas

The biggest piece of this week’s parsha is the 70-line song delivered by Moshe on his last day. He says to remember Judaism throughout the generations, and ask elders how Hashem chose us and made us his own. Moshe warns against getting fat (with excesses) and spurning Hashem. In the end, Hashem will avenge our mistreatement …

Re’eh / Re’ay: Resources and ideas

In this week’s parsha, Moshe continues his speech to Bnei Yisrael. Again, there is a blessing and a curse offered depending on observance of mitzvot. The Temple is identified as the only place for offerings, and a lot of the laws of kashrut are given or reviewed here: which birds and fish are kosher, how …

Eikev: Resources and Ideas

Moshe continues his speech, promising that with the observance of mitzvot, they will prosper and grow in the promised land. He reminds them of their continued rebellions and complaining (hence the name of this week’s Itche Kadoozy video, “We whined a lot“). Moshe tells them about the land they will soon enter, and to destroy …

Vaetchanan: Resources and ideas

Vaetchanan (AKA Vaeschanan) Continuing on with Moshe’s review of the Torah (from last week’s parsha), we hear about how Moshe begged to see Israel but was only allowed to glimpse it from afar. Moshe recounts the Exodus from Egypt, and predicts that future generations will be exiled and then gathered again. This parsha includes a …
