Weekly Torah Commentaries episodes:

October 21, 2024 Fully Alive in 5785
Though we can’t turn back the hands of time, we can—and do—revisit time by
rolling the Torah scroll back and recycling the stories noted therein. This
we do this every year around this time: on Simchat Torah. And so we begin
again . . .

October 16, 2024 Sukkot and the Frailty of Life
What a tragic and challenging year! We might be very much tempted to say
“good riddance” to the last year, 5784. Yet our tradition reminds us to
welcome every New Year with a sense of hope and encouragement.

October 09, 2024 Everybody Needs a Hero
Everybody needs heroes, and heroism can be contagious. In these trying
times, Yeshua’s sacrifice encourages us to courageously go forward to meet
the challenges of life without a layer of self-protection.

September 30, 2024 A Much-Needed Renewal of Awe
With Rosh Hashanah we enter the Ten Days of Awe that will continue through
Yom Kippur. But we live in a time when it’s hard to be awed . . . because
awe is the response to the presence of a transcendent other, something or
someone far greater than ourselves, greater than our understanding or our
ability to perceive.

September 26, 2024 Teshuvah: How To Return
Why is it so hard to change? As we approach the season of teshuvah
(turning, repentance) and the Ten Days of Repentance, this question is
worth considering. Dramatic, intentional changes do happen, but they seem
to be the exception rather than the rule.

September 18, 2024 Remember Who You Are!
When Israel enters the land, the Israelites are to declare their origins
and identity. "He has brought us to this place and has given us this land,
a land flowing with milk and honey; and now, behold, I have brought the
firstfruits of the land which you, O Lord, have given me."

September 13, 2024 Everlasting Love
This week our spirits were pierced again with a time of national mourning
as we commemorated the tragedy of 9/11. As we look out across the social
landscape of America we wonder if God is chastising this nation or if we
are in some stage of rebellion. Perhaps both at the same time.

September 04, 2024 Season of Return
At a time when the modern State of Israel is at war, when we are daily
praying for hostages, and the world is in upheaval, we must be focused,
attentive, and ready for what will come.

August 28, 2024 Depth Perception
We must have spiritual vision and depth perception to see clearly. “Turn my
eyes away from gazing at vanity but revive me in Your ways” (Psalm 119:37).
Instead of asking “Do you see what I see?” Re’eh asks, “Do you see what He
sees?”

August 22, 2024 Not by Bread Alone
It is as our Rabbi Yeshua taught by quoting from this parasha while
suffering the hardship of a forty-day fast in the wilderness: “Man does not
live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of
Adonai."
