  • Parashat Reeih – A Place of Their Own, A Place of His Own
    Avital Hochstein. Much of the book of Devarim is devoted to a reexamination of the desert period; but this look back is accompanied by significant contemplation of the future, and a good part of the book, including Chapter 12, is devoted to life in the land of Israel. The chapter opens the lion’s share of the book devoted to laws, and, along with the laws themselves, it offers insights about the significance of the transition to a land, to one specific place.

  • פרשת עקב :מה מורה המן על מציאות החיים בארץ כנען
    אני מדמיינת את ישראל, שהיו קמים מדי בוקר ומוצאים את מזונם בחוץ, מתעוררים יום אחד בארץ כנען למציאות חדשה, מציאות בה לכאורה אוכל - אין. התיאור הוא ניטרלי למדי, ואינו חושף מטען רגשי – לא את התחושות עם קבלת המן, ולא את הימים הראשונים עם הפסקתו. פרשתנו חושפת תפיסה אחת של חוויית המן, שיש בה גם ללמד על מהות החיים בארץ בעידן שלאחר תקופת המדבר והמן.

  • Always Already There: The Futile Search for God?
    Aviva Richman. In what might be considered a Jewish version of original sin, we will explore the significance of the golden calf in the Hasidic spiritual practice of the Sefat Emet. What does it mean to be both a sinner and someone incapable of sin? How do we search for God when God is at once entirely inaccessible and at the same time so close that the idea of searching in the first place is ridiculous? Recorded live at our 2017 Summer Yom Iyyun, The Search for God: In Our Lives and in Our Communities

  • Thirsting for the Living God: Psalms 42-43
    R. Shai Held considers the meaning of Psalms 42-3, exploring the Psalmist's all-consuming longing for God and the possibility for solace in heartbreak. Recorded live at our 2017 Summer Yom Iyyun, The Search for God: In Our Lives and in Our Communities

  • פרשת דברים:ספר דברים
    בימי חייו האחרונים עומד משה לעיני כל ישראל, מדבר איתם ומוסר להם את דברי הסיום שלו. למרות שהוא ידוע כנאומו האחרון של משה, ספר דברים אינו רק נאום ודברי פרידה. החומש האחרון בתורה הוא למעשה אבן היסוד של המסורת הפרשנית היהודית: "בְּעֵ֥בֶר הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מוֹאָ֑ב הוֹאִ֣יל מֹשֶׁ֔ה בֵּאֵ֛ר אֶת־הַתּוֹרָ֥ה הַזֹּ֖את לֵאמֹֽר" (דברים א, ה').

  • Parashat Devarim – The Book of Devarim
    Avital Hochstein. Beginning the Jewish Interpretive Tradition - Toward the end of his life, Moshe stands before the children of Israel, addressing them and conveying his final thoughts. Even though the book of Devarim is known as Moshe's last speech, the book is not just a farewell. The last book of the Torah is also in fact the founding stone of the Jewish interpretive tradition: “On the other side of the Jordan, in the land of Moav, Moshe undertook to expound the Torah” (Devarim 1:5).

  • We Are But Dust: Confession, Accusation, Hope
    Aviva Richman. How do we search for God when we feel God has betrayed us, or people have betrayed us and God's justice is nowhere to be found? This session focuses on contemporary Israeli poetry that is deeply embedded in words of prayer and words of Torah even as these words take on new meanings. We will engage the poetry as a model for struggling to be in relationship with God when the sacred words we inherit ring false, and when the world's problems resound loudly as ever. Aviva Richman delivers a powerful keynote address and shiur klali, featuring her original poetry, at our 2017 Summer Yom Iyyun, The Search for God: In Our Lives and in Our Communities.
