Weekly Torah Commentaries episodes:

July 07, 2026 Miklat! Miklat!
The Torah restrains vengeance and establishes justice. The Prophets call
Israel to embody righteousness with compassion. Messiah carries that same
calling into the hidden places of the heart, where anger, pride,
bitterness, and hatred first take root. God’s purpose has always been to
form a people who bear his likeness.

July 01, 2026 Zeal is the Deal
As we see throughout our texts, zeal can take on a wide variety of forms.
It does not mean one must go and pick up a spear . . . consult your local
rabbi before doing this! Every moment of every day is a great moment to ask
how we can take a stand for Hashem through our actions.

June 25, 2026 Divine Diplomacy
All of us would benefit from understanding the way Moses and the people
employed negotiations during their journey across the land. Two different
sections of land, two different communities, two different responses from
the occupants of the land, and two very different outcomes.

June 17, 2026 The Matter of Timing
We measure our days in hours and moments, rushing from one thing to the
next, yet the Creator moves with eternal purpose—never late, never early,
always perfect. In the noise of life, it is easy to forget that his timing
is not only different from ours … it is holy.

June 11, 2026 Safety First?
It is good to be concerned with our safety and the safety of those we love.
But we cannot allow our concerns to impede our response to something God is
trying to do or to show us. Indeed, sometimes God’s directives, when we
view them without faith, might seem dangerous. This is why belief is so
paramount.

June 05, 2026 Good Bread
As the old saying goes, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Or free
fish. Or free bread. There are costs attached. There are debts owed. The
quality of the freebies doesn’t matter when only one path leads us to
eternal sustenance.

May 28, 2026 We Bear the Family Name
The Aaronic blessing of Numbers 6 is among the oldest liturgical texts in
biblical history. Archaeologists have recovered it inscribed on silver
amulets dating to the seventh century BCE, predating even the Dead Sea
Scrolls. Its age, however, is not its most striking feature.

May 21, 2026 Obedience Begins with Listening
“Shema” means to hear or listen, but ancient Hebrew is a language of
action. Hearing and listening are passive activities. When we find the word
“shema” in the Bible, it can mean “to hear,” but oftentimes it is
translated as “listen” when there is an active component of obedience or
some form of action attached to the meaning.

May 13, 2026 An Invitation to Intimacy
God is not just a God of order; he desires for us to draw near to him. As
we begin the Book of Numbers, we remember how he cared for our ancestors by
numbering them and giving them freedom from bondage. Further, he invites
them into intimacy, into a covenant that is alive and well today. Our
challenge is: Will we accept it?

May 08, 2026 Real Trust Requires Surrender
What is surrender? Simply put, it is giving up our idea of how our lives
should be run and accepting God’s idea for us. As he lays out his direction
for our lives, we display that Abraham-like trust.
