We can find the answer from Abraham, at a time when he encountered a moral dilemma. Our forefather found himself forced to lie when he was surrounded by people who didn't have faith in God. Why did he do that?.

Abraham didn't doubt God when he was informed that he would inherit the land of Israel. But our patriarch wasn't necessarily sure that his children and grandchildren would also have that same passion for the Holy Land.

God tells Abraham, who was at the ripe age of 75, to leave his hometown and go to a new land that God was going to show him. It's a lesson that sometimes, to make a difference, we need to make changes and get out of our comfort zone.

Adam, Chavah, Abraham, Sarah, Noah – so much of our Biblical and rabbinic literature focuses on the way things were a long time ago. Yet, in our society we are taught that early man is primitive. The real greats are those who come later. So why do we spend so much time on the past?.

There's a story about Moses setting up and designating the six cities of refuge – even though he knew he would never live to see the completion of this task. But he still didn't push off the opportunity to perform a mitzvah.

Noah was a righteous person in his generation. But does that mean had he lived in another era, he would not have been such a great man?.

How much of what we do is motivated by what we think is right and just and moral versus what we do to seek approval from other people? The answer lies in the story of Noah.

Why was Noah unable to influence those around him when warning them about the flood? The answer lies in the meaning of true leadership, and it's a beautiful lesson which comes courtesy of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks.

In the beginning of the Book of Bereisheet, we read about eating from the Tree of Knowledge. Not only is Adam, Eve and the snake punished, but the ground is also punished. Why is that? Did the ground sin? Rabbi Wildes explains.

During the era of the Inquisition, we saw unlearned Jews give up their life for their Judaism. Why? Because every Jew has a spark within their soul which is indestructible. It's a metaphysical part of who we are.
