Weekly Torah Commentaries episodes:

April 10, 2024 Doctors of the Soul
The kohanim, or priests, were in a sense the “doctors of the soul.” This is
the role of a kohen, to restore the person to wholeness—to have the
imagination to see beyond a person’s present brokenness, and to recognize
his or her own power to heal.

April 04, 2024 Being the Chosen People is Dangerous
If this is true for Israel as a whole, God’s priestly nation among the
nations of the world, how much more for the family of Aaron, chosen to be
the priestly family of the priestly people? The great tragedy in this
week’s portion makes the danger of election all too evident.

March 28, 2024 Honest Worship
Tzav is our reminder to continue to practice sacrificial worship in our
lives today. How do we do this? Let’s take a moment to reflect on two
questions. First, what is considered a sacrifice today? And second, where
is the altar?

March 21, 2024 The Lord Calls Us by Name
Each of us was given a name shortly after birth and, for most of us, we are
still called by that name. When I hear my name, it commands my attention.
It identifies me. It also means that the person who has called me knows my
name.

March 12, 2024 The Future Is Now: Hanna-Barbera and the Real Magic Kingdom
Is there a lesson that can be gleaned by observing the relationship between
the Flintstones and the Jetsons? I think there is, and I believe it to be
profound.

March 05, 2024 A Beautiful Mansion for God
God created a home for us in His creation of the universe. God has created
a home for us through the life, death, and resurrection of His Messiah. May
we create a home for Him in this world, by not only learning His precepts
and understanding their application, but by embracing the very essence of
His Holy Torah.

February 29, 2024 “I Have Called You Friends”
Moses is likened to a “friend”—specifically, a friend of God. Yeshua is on
record promising “friendship” to believers who abide (John 15:14). Then,
immediately afterwards, He reiterates the point, saying: “I have called you
friends” (15:15). It’s hard to overstate the significance: the relationship
with God that believers in Yeshua enjoy is akin to Moses’.

February 20, 2024 The Glorious Garments of Service
The breastplate bearing the names of the tribes of Israel, each in its
place, reminds us also to embrace our God-given place and not to compare
ourselves with the other servants; neither to seek a better position than
theirs, nor to grovel in our lowliness. Instead, we’re to serve within the
space God has prepared for us, and prepared us for.

February 15, 2024 Organized Religion
The voice of God to Moses, and by extension to the assembly of Israel, came
by way of an organized and intentional religious space. It was not random
or haphazard. It was not spontaneous or unconstrained. God’s voice came
within an organized space and time.

February 07, 2024 A Way to Live in the Presence of the Lord
At the conclusion of last week’s parasha, Israel is given immortality with
its designation as a “Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation” (Exod 19:6).
Mishpatim, literally “ordinances,” on the other hand, is often thought of
as a law book pronouncing mundane rules that deal with a plethora of
subjects.
