In this week’s torah portion, we learn about Jacob and how he fled from his brother Esau after stealing his birthright and deceiving his father, Isaac. On the way to Haran, he dreams of a ladder reaching to the heavens with angels ascending and descending. Fleeing Esau, Jacob must go To Haran where his fortune […]
Occupy Jewish Education
Something has been bothering me lately. Where are all the congregational educators? Let me back up.

What follows is not news – I’m nearly two months behind things. But then again, everything on the internet is simultaneous, isn’t it? So I think it remains worth discussing. Maybe it’s news to you. On September 30, perhaps the leading Palestinian peace advocate, Sari Nusseibeh, published an essay on why Israel cannot be a “Jewish […]

Verse Per Verse Episode Six: Toldot
In this next episode of Verse Per Verse, Amichai explores the torah portion Toldot. While the story of Toldot is that of the struggle between Jacob and Essau, Amichai has found a different focus. Amichai explores Genesis Chapter 25, Verse 22, and more specifically the word Lidrosh, which can be translated in so many ways. We hope that this episode will help you “grok” the nuance that is the wording of the torah.
