Article Tazria Metzora – Niddah and the Paradox of Purity
Unclean. Contaminated. Filth. Shameful. Corrupt. Defiled. Profane. Desecrated. These are what we think of when we hear the word impure. So when the Torah labels a woman as “impure” during her menstrual cycle and after giving birth, we can see why misogynistic attitudes might come about. Especially...

Article Shemini – Aharon’s Surviving Sons: Humility in the Face of Fire
Parsha Shimini is known for the deaths of Aharon’s oldest sons, Nadav and Avihu. With the inauguration of the Mishkan (the portable Temple also known as the Tabernacle) Aharon and his four sons assume their roles as priests (or kohanim) and perform their first sacrifices. Nadav and Avihu do something...

Article Getting Passed Over: Is Pesach a Misnomer or Have we Missed the Point?
The name Passover has always bothered me. God passed over the Israelite houses as He wrathfully slaughtered the firstborn of Egypt. Sure, the Egyptians deserved it and it’s a moment of true justice… but Passover is about a lot of things! There’s our redemption. The spiritual opportunity of freedom...

Article Total Solar Eclipses only happen on Earth. The Reason Why is the Secret of Passover
There’s a story in the Midrash that when God created the celestial bodies, He made the sun and the moon equal in size. But the moon complained saying, “It is impossible for two kings to share one crown!” God responded, “You’re right, go diminish yourself.” Thus we have the great light, the sun, and t...

Article Why Shabbat Changes its Gender Pronouns
I have been attending Shabbat services for almost a decade and it turns out I may have been praying it wrong this whole time. When you recite the Shabbat Amidah (aka Shemonah Esrei) the middle portion is known as Kedushas HaYom (Holiness of the Day). For each of the four times we pray (evening/ma...

Article Counting Wrong, Desperate Uncertainty: Purim and the Golden Calf
It’s an odd thing that the holiday of Purim is celebrated around the time we read Parshas Ki Sisa, the Torah portion that features the sin of the golden calf. Quite a juxtaposition celebrating the Jewish people’s greatest victory while also reading about their most tragic mistake. I’m sure there are ...

Article Zachor – The Greatest Trick the Devil ever Pulled WASN’T Convincing the World he Didn’t Exist.
> Remember what Amalek did to you on the road, on your way out of Egypt. That he encountered you on the way and cut off those lagging to your rear, when you were tired and exhausted; he did not fear G‑d. And it shall come to pass, when Hashem your G‑d has given you rest from all your enemies round ab...

Article Kavod and the Mishkan: Why Does an Infinite God Seek Honor?
![Uploading, please wait...]()Parsha Terumah is the first of many Torah portions dealing with the building of the Mishkan, the portable sanctuary and prototype of what will eventually become the Beit Hamikdash (aka The Temple.) There were several purposes for the Mishkan: a center point of holiness f...
