June 26, 2024 The God of Each of Us
In our parasha, Adonai gives the commandment and instruction for the
tzitzit which were to be on the borders of the garment. They also were
found on the hem of Yeshua’s garment in Luke 8:44, bringing healing to a

June 19, 2024 Spirit-Infused Torah
Moses longed for the day in which we are living: “If only Adonai would make
all the people prophets! If only Adonai would put the Spirit on all of
them!” Let’s say Amen to that as we walk daily in the Spirit-infused Torah
of the risen Messiah.

June 12, 2024 Bless is More
On exhibit in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem are artifacts from the
excavation of a burial plot from the end of the First Temple period. Among

the words of Dylan’s immortal song, “forever young”—going back to your
earliest years of life, able to erase all your mistakes, cancel all your
debts, and undo all your sins?

May 14, 2024 Our Priority: Conservation or Contagion?
It’s not so much a matter of contrast between conservation and contagion;
we need both. The stability and separation of a healthy religious community
provides a platform for influencing the surrounding culture.

May 08, 2024 Sweat the Small Stuff
Once we choose to live in the universe of power in actions, do we have the
discipline to constantly push ourselves to raise the bar? Will we have what
it takes to engage in regular self-reflection and contemplation, and live
with the consistency that holiness requires?

May 02, 2024 Walk It Out!
Spiritual discipline through the repetitive action—the “walking” out—of the
mitzvot builds within us emotional muscle memory. Given that we are largely
driven by our emotions, any repetitive action binds itself to our
personhood, our heart, our mind, and that same action builds within us an

April 25, 2024 Why Is This Passover Different?
Telling our children and grandchildren a story rooted in ancient history,
and equipping them to pass it on, amidst our culture of endless sound bites
and news flashes can be challenging indeed. That’s why Passover in this
current generation may be different from all other Passovers.

April 17, 2024 Stop the Spread of Evil Speech
Along with other rabbis, Rabbi Sha’ul correlated reckless speech with an
