61. It's My Fault!
March 21, 2011
Just get in line joining all the others who are blaming me for this morning’s snow. I warned Debbie: I told her, when she asked me to put away the snow shovel and the salt, that as long as the shovel and the salt were out it would not snow, but if I put them away; it would definitely snow. She laugh...

62. Zachor: Shabbat Prayers: Pesukei d'Zimrah: Vayivarech David
March 10, 2011
“And David blessed God in the presence of the entire congregation.” David represented everything to the Jewish people. Can you imagine his impact when the now unified, stronger, and confident people? If they understood this farewell speech that we are reading, in which he introduces the seven lower ...

63. Midrash Esther XX: Judge or King?
March 03, 2011
And princes of the provinces, being before him.” Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Samuel the son of Nachman explained this differently. Rabbi Eliezer said: They were placed as in this state room of Geder (Gadara in Transjordania), where the King sits on a raised dais to give judgment, while all the people si...

64. Midrash Esther II: ‘Hu" Achashveirosh: Off Balance
February 23, 2011
Rabbi Nehemiah points out that although it was Achashveirosh’s careful wording of his decree that allowed his son, Darius, to permit the completion of the second Temple, it was not inconsistent with his decree to stop the construction. Both this stop order and the vague wording were intended to serv...

65. When Not Looking
February 16, 2011
What might things be like when we are not looking at them? This question, which seems less absurd to me every day, is one that I asked often as a child, but only asked myself, not my parents or my teachers, because I guessed that they would smile at my naïveté, or at my stupidity, according to a mor...

The “Servant of God” who is singing the Hallel sees life as a series of challenges to grow as a human being and maximize his potential. He understands that each situation promises an opportunity of eternal blessing as celebrated in paragraph three.

67. Mathematics of the Mishkan
February 04, 2011
I have never been very good at mathematics. The Mishkan, or, Tabernacle, does trigger a very important mathematical skill.
In his new book, “The Mind’s Eye,”, neurologist and writer Oliver Sacks makes the surprising disclosure that he has a disease called Prospopagnosia, the inability to rec...

68. That Day At Sinai
January 27, 2011
Jose Saramago, writing in “The Notebook” about Lisbon, describes communal memory:
“In physical terms we inhabit space, but in emotional terms we are inhabited by memory. A memory composed of a space and a time, a memory inside which we live, like an island between two oceans-one the past, th...

69. The Meringue Thief
January 25, 2011
I recently returned from a spectacular Shabbat in St. Louis. I reconnected with old friends, made some new ones, spoke many times, and gave a number of “Spirituals.” My hosts went out of their way for me in every way but one. They made sure I was comfortable, and that I had plenty of gluten-free foo...

70. From "I Should've," to "I Could've"
January 23, 2011
One of the most constant refrains I hear from people is, “I should…” or, “I should have…”
All those “shoulds” are heavy burdens. “I should be more patient.” “I should be more of a Tzaddik.” “I should daven better.” “I should be more careful with my speech.”
The “should haves” are eve...
