This Is a Test!

Standing up to a test is one of the three tasks of Jew in this world. (along with praying and doing the mitzvos). Sometimes half the battle is to realize that you are in a test while it's happening. This is a story of something that happened to me recently.

The Days of Your Life – Parshat Bo

"A day in the life, a moment of connection with God is a lifetime. Every breath we take is a world of opportunity. Every moment. Time looks like a heartless, relentless march forever forward to our end. As poet William Carlos Williams said, “Time is a storm in which we are all lost.” But is time a rapidly dwindling, limited resource that we must spend frivolously before it’s all gone? Maybe time isn’t a desperate scrabble to use it all up – before we run out of it. The English word ‘moment’ comes from the Latin word momentum, implying relentless movement – The march of time. The Hebrew word for time - rega, comes from ragua, which means a state of calm or rest. The rest of your life.They are the tools of the artists of the soul.

Artists of the Soul

My life as a Jew is brimful of constrictions and restrictions. It is these very restrictions, however, that are the paint and canvas that make the physical world speak in the language of the spirit. They are the tools of the artists of the soul.

The Face of Holiness – Parshat Vayeshev

Walk down the street! Take an airplane! Get on a bus! Everywhere we go, we are challenged by a worldview that glorifies immorality and the unbridled pursuit of physical pleasure. What can protect us from these icons of immorality?

Hope and Optimism – Parshat Vayetze

Yaakov says in Parshat Vayetze, “If God…will give me bread to eat and clothes to wear…” Ostensibly, there is no other reason to have bread than to eat it; no other reason to have clothes than to wear them, so why did Yaakov spell out ‘bread to eat’ and ‘clothes to wear’?

How Long Will the Arabs Rule the World? – Parshat Toldot

If you told someone living a couple of hundred years ago that the Arabs would be a force to threaten Western civilization, they’d have laughed. The thought that a bunch of nomads floating around the desert, like some lost extras from Lawrence Of Arabia, could rule the world, would have seemed preposterous. But יוֹשֵׁ֣ב בַּשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִשְׂחָ֑ק, “He who dwells in the Heavens will laugh.” (Tehillim 2:4)

Living on the Crest of the Wave – Noach

There are many times in our life when we know that things will not be as good as they are right now, and nevertheless we should always focus on that wonderful moment that is the present and not become downcast by the thought that it may not, and will not, last forever. Judaism says that we shouldn’t live FOR the moment, but we certainly should live IN the moment.
