1. The Story of Joseph in The Bible February 02, 2012 Joseph was thrown in imprisonment. You would think that he has been now forgotten, complete, completed. But God started to move in Joseph's lifestyle. Our god, through a strange turn of activities, used his interpretation with the king's dream to absolutely free him from jail.

3. Most Prominent Torah Portion January 20, 2012 “Vayechi” is Hebrew for “and he lived.” It is the 12th weekly Torah portion read by Jews on the Sabbath sometime in December or January. This part corresponds to the book of Genesis, 47:28-50:26 in the Christian Bible and deals with the death of Jacob. One of the themes of this portion is that the character of a culture or civilization is at least partially revealed by how it treats its dead. This makes a stark distinction between the holy disposition of a deceased body according to recognized Jewish law. Another lesson to take from this portion has to do with life, not death.

8. Alexandria Day Tours From Cairo by Vehicle December 14, 2011 Alexandria was not only a centre of Hellenism, but was also home to the largest Jewish community in the world. The Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, was produced there. The early Ptolemies kept it in order and fostered the development of its museum into the leading Hellenistic center of learning (Library of Alexandria), but were careful to maintain the distinction of its population's three largest ethnicities: Greek, Jewish, and Egyptian. From this division arose much of the later turbulence, which began to manifest itself under Ptolemy Philopater who reigned from 221–204 BC... (read more) Author: one sky tours company egypt

16. Western Education Greek versus Hebrew Educational Style June 27, 2011 The Western education system concentrates on the left-brain. We worship at the altar of rationalism.

By the time we reach adulthood, only 2% still test highly in creativity.In addition to rationalism permeating the western educational style, western education has adopted the Greek view of knowledge rather than the Hebrew view of knowledge.Adam and Eve faced a similar choice in Garden of Eden.

17. Fighting With The Laundry June 20, 2011 Ever since I saw my father zt’l washing his Tzitzit, I have washed my own. Please understand; my siblings and I would battle each other for the merit of serving our parents and cleaning for them. The only things we were willing to just stand back and observe was my father preparing my mother’s Shabbat candles and his loading the car for one of our long trips from Toronto to Baltimore with all the items we carried downstairs: He was magically able to fit everything into the trunk. It was unbearable to stand and watch either of our parents wash a dish or load the dishwasher. So, the second I saw... (read more) Author: Rabbi Simcha Weinberg

18. Kvetching - The Blame Game June 13, 2011 There is a complex in Switzerland known as CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, where something called the Large Hadron Collider has been sputtering into operation. Its purpose is to discover whether a hypothetical particle called the Higgs boson (called by some, “The God Particle) exists. There is far-fetched, yet widespread apprehension that a black hole created there could swallow the entire universe. If you are reading this you can be certain that either they have yet to create a Higgs boson, or that a particle with less mass than a second generation quark has not swallowe...

19. To Grab or Grip June 10, 2011 “In man the most precise function that the hand is capable of is to place the tip of the thumb in opposition to the tip of the index finger, so they make maximum contact. In this position small objects can be manipulated with an unlimited potential for fine pressure adjustments or minute directional corrections. This is the hallmark of mankind. No non-human species can do it.” (John Napier – The Roots of Mankind) This extra inch of the human thumb transforms the grasping power of the primate hand into the cast repertoire of the gripping precision of the human hand. This week’s portio... (read more) Author: Rabbi Simcha Weinberg

20. The Blame Game June 09, 2011 Almost forty percent of the cases in the Central African Republic’s court system are witchcraft prosecutions. Most of the accused are Pygmies who are known for bewitching each other. Do you have an infected toe? You can accuse your neighbor of hexing you because he doesn’t like you. Did bad weather ruin your day with the kids? Blame someone with whom you recently had an argument for casting a spell on you. A bird crashed into your windshield? Blame an enemy! You can accuse him of shape shifting and he will have to face trial. The sole foreign non-governmental organization, an Italian grou... (read more) Author: Rabbi Simcha Weinberg

24. The City Not By The Water May 24, 2011 “I have left to last the dynamic component of the city, without which it could not have continued to increase in size and scope and productivity: this is the first efficient means of mass transport, the waterway. That the first growth of cities should have taken place in river valleys is no accident; and the rise of the city is contemporaneous with improvements in navigation, from the floating bundle of rushes or logs to the boat powered by oars and sails.” (Lewis Mumford – The City in History 1961) We ended Where Everything Is Moral by asking, “Why not the sea?” It certainly seems illogi...

25. Exiting the Cave May 16, 2011 “In the pictures of the old masters,” Max Picard wrote in “The World of Silence,” “People seem as though they had just come out of an opening in a wall; as if they had wriggled their way out with difficulty. They seem unsafe and hesitant because they have come out too far and still belong more to silence than themselves.” The Talmud is clear that it was more difficult for Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and his son, Rabbi Elazar, to reenter society than it was to live in a cave for twelve years. They were sent back to the cave for twelve months to learn how to live with other people who had not h... (read more) Author: Rabbi Simcha Weinberg
