December 11, 2025 More than the Oil
Chanukah is usually told as the story of a jar of oil. Yet the oil miracle,
beautiful as it is, appears only in the Talmud—recorded centuries after the

December 03, 2025 When Brothers Are Reconciled
Each of us will struggle with God, but hang on in your wrestling—don’t let

November 23, 2025 Finding Our Rosebud
Rosebud was the name of Citizen Kane’s childhood sled, an emblem of simpler

November 05, 2025 A Rock Feels No Joy
If Abraham and Sarah could see our world today, I think they might weep.

October 29, 2025 The People of Israel Are Alive and Well
In the one place where life is lived daily under threat, where rockets,

October 22, 2025 Pass the Baton!
Quietly tucked into one of the last verses of Parashat Noach is the
template for God’s plan of calling and leadership. It is also a reflection
of the enduring concept in Judaism known as l’dor v’dor – from generation
to generation.

October 16, 2025 All Beginnings Are Hard
Another way to translate the opening words of Genesis could be: “With
beginnings, God created,” emphasizing that everything in life has a
beginning. Although there are times when everything seems to just fall into
place, the reality is that most beginnings are not easy.
