Tropeful

How does trope create and handle conclusions in phrases, verses, and aliyot?  As we end one year and start another, I ask these more general questions in this week's episode.  

Can one trope alone be pivotal and give us information in a singular moment? We explore that question this week in Parashat Veyeshev, the first of several portions exploring the story of Joseph.

Listen to the URJ podcast - On the Other Hand here.  

In the portion which I consider one of the most beautiful in the Torah, does the trope rise to this beauty?  We explore a small section of Parashat Vayishlach to find out.  Find the text discussed here: http://bit.ly/2hEH48u

How does a dream become reality?  How is reality reflected in a dream?  These are the essential questions of this week's portion.  And the trope goes along with it.  Find the text discussed here: http://bit.ly/2gMD04v

We focus this week on the dramatic rise at the end of the portion, where we see an elevation in both the trope and the plot.  Find the text discussed here: http://bit.ly/2gk5S4S  

Tropeful explores the rare trope of Shalshelet, which also happens to be our host's incredibly favorite trope.  Find the text discussed here. Tropeful is also now available via iTunes and Stitcher. Please share with anyone who might enjoy this unique perspective on the Torah. 

Tropeful explores how drama is created by the trope and how the trope responds to drama in the text.  You also will hear the contrast between two systems of trope: the regular trope and the special system for the High Holidays.  Find the text discussed here.

Tropeful explores how one specific trope creates meaning by singling out certain words in this portion.  Find the text discussed here: http://bit.ly/2fBLMTC
