10. Master of Memory III January 10, 2012 They answered him, ‘Not so, my master! For your servants have come to buy food. All of us, sons of one man are we; we are truthful people; your servants have never been spies’ (Genesis 42:10–11).” I always find it interesting how easily someone who lies can insist that he is truthful. The brothers had blatantly lied to the people of Shechem, and to Jacob about Joseph, and yet here they were, insisting that they were truthful. The minute someone insists that he is truthful, I suspect that he is not. The Viceroy must have already been suspicious. When they insist, “Your servants h...

Throw in the fact that I was upstaged by an elephant, and you have the backdrop for a great story! While one might think that the coupling of a Russian Jew and a Thai Buddhist might be a challenge, this bride and groom showed that it need not be so. This may just be because the bride, Nad...

Master of Memory January 04, 2012 I’ve been reading Joshua Foer”s “Moonwalking with Einstein,” a fabulous tale of a journey into the world of memory championships, and remembering all sorts of different tools I’ve tried over the years to improve my memory. I always wanted to have my grandfather zt”l’s memory.

The conversation went somewhat like this,” Rabbi, how can you speak so of God’s bounty; you yourself seem to live like a pauper and have hardly anything in your house. Look at me, my house is beautiful and well furnished!”. “But Rav Shlomo”, said the Rabbi, “When you travel, do you carry all your furniture with you?”, “Of course not!” replied Shlomo, “I take a traveling bag; but when ...

16. Living at the Speed of Light December 29, 2011 “Everybody at the speed of light tends to become a nobody (Marshall McLuhan; ‘McLuhan Probe’).” Our world seems to be moving at the speed of light, and it’s hard for many to sense their significance. The winds blow past us at breakneck speed as we desperately cling onto those things that provide us with stability. Many practice Judaism as their structure. Yet, there are increasing numbers of people who want to use their Judaism to connect to the world and find their meaning at the speed of light. Chanukah, the Festival of Light, is a lesson in how to live at light speed. It all began with... (read more) Author: Rabbi Simcha Weinberg

17. The Ladder Comes to Life December 20, 2011 We’ve met this word many times and can’t seem to find the perfect definition: “These are the toledot of Jacob,” can mean, “These are the stories of all that happened to Jacob’s generations (Rashi),” or, “these are the things that happened to Jacob (Ibn Ezra),” or, “these are the generations of Jacob (Ramban).” The Ohr haChaim haKadosh points out that since the verse begins, “Eileh,” without the vav that would connect this verse to the previous verses and paragraphs, “and these are…” indicates that whatever follows is a break from what preceded it. “These stories and not the preceding, are...

They conduct most marriages, funerals, christenings, baptisms, and other religious ceremonies that primarily center around family life. They provide counseling, shelter, comfort, spiritual education, guidance and inspiration to their congregations and any other lives they may touch. It’s only natural, then, that faith-based and secular institutions would e... (read more) Author: Jill Cohen

19. A View of a Place December 06, 2011 The second I enter the room that was, originally, my grandfather zt”l’s, and then my father zt”l’s, study, I am overwhelmed. It is not the number of Sefarim that daunts me, but the level of learning and achievement that took place in that room. It is a magical room; powerful, and holy. It makes perfect sense that both their places at the front of the Beit Midrash remain with empty chairs. The place where they prayed and studied are different because of what they accomplished. What did Jacob feel when he climbed to the peak of Moriah, the place where both Abraham and Isaac achieved their g... (read more) Author: Rabbi Simcha Weinberg

20. Shabbat Halbashah November 29, 2011 The Shabbat of Hanukkah was of special significance for Sephardim of the Ottoman Empire. Shabbat Hanukkah was called "Shabbat Halbashah"- the Shabbat of providing clothing for the needy. The tradition was that the Rabbi of the community would deliver a sermon on Shabbat Hanukkah on the commandment of charity and loving-kindness. From the Sunday afterwards until Rosh Chodesh Tevet, which is always the sixth day of Hanukkah, the community would bring clothing to the Synagogue that would later be distributed among the needy of the community. Practically-speaking, the festival of Hanukkah occurs... (read more) Author: Anya Sh

At night, I’m in my first year of law school. I got married this October and am starting a new chapter of life together with my wonderful wife Shulamit. 15-20 days out of every year, I’m called up to the Israeli army to do my reserve duty. I serve as ... (read more) Author: Rabbi Simcha Weinberg

22. MAY WE BE FOUND FAITHFUL November 28, 2011 John 1:51 "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." In the days of the Master, Galilee was a center for Torah learning where many rabbis taught their disciples in Yeshivas (Religious schools). It was the dream of every parent for their child, especially the oldest boy, to be given the favor of being accepted as the disciple of a rabbi. Yeshua broke with the traditional way of local rabbis in those days; instead of waiting for potential disciples to pop the question, He himself did the choosing and propose...

23. Religious Titles Forbidden in Christianity November 27, 2011 I recently got into a discussion with a messianic Jew who insisted he had the right to use the title "Rabbi" without any violation of scripture. I pointed him to Matt. 23:8, "but you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren" (NKJV) to no avail. He is not alone for you could point a Catholic priest to Matt. 23:9, "do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven," (NKJV) and it would have no effect upon him either. Not only are men accepting religious titles, contrary to Jesus' teaching, but the general p... (read more) Author: Denny Smith

25. "The Pain of Abraham" by Prof. Gerald August November 21, 2011 It was the third day after Abraham was circumcised and he was in pain. So how do we explain what he does? He saw men approaching his tent. He ran to greet them and bowed before them. He ran to tell Sarah to make cakes, and again ran to take a calf to be slaughtered for a meal. He then carried the meal to the men and stood by them as they ate, in case they needed something else. Wait a minute. What about the pain? Did it magically disappear? The answer is one I experienced years ago. I was visiting a friend in the hospital, and he was in bad shape. During the first 20 minutes of my vi... (read more) Author: Rabbi Simcha Weinberg
