Rabbi Michael Whitman hosts Mining The Riches Of The Parsha, a religion show with 500 episodes published.
One of the Torah's biggest surprises is that the Ten Commandments appear twice - and they aren't identical. Why did Moshe change them? Rabbi Ezriel Tauber suggests that the difference between "Remember the Sabbath" and "
The Book of Devarim is full of stories we've already heard. Yet Moshe tells them again, choosing carefully what to emphasize. He isn't changing the facts. He's teaching us that the meaning of our lives depends on the sto
I expected "The Future Is Peace" by Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon to challenge me. I didn't expect it to make me uncomfortable. The book asks something extraordinarily difficult of every reader: listen carefully to anothe
I recently visited Professor Ben Mollov's Jewish-Arab Dialogue class at Bar-Ilan University, and it left me more hopeful about Israel than almost anything else I experienced during my trip. The class begins with somethin
Rachel Goldberg-Polin has become more than the grieving mother of Hersh Goldberg-Polin. She has become the voice and vocabulary of October 7th and its aftermath. In her remarkable new book, "When We See You Again," she g
This morning we discuss three models of what a synagogue's purpose is. The model that is common in North America has a surprising origin. It was conceived and initiated by Rabbi Mordechai Kaplan at The Jewish Center in 1
One of the most surprising details in this week's Parsha is easy to miss. Moshe doesn't simply tell the tribes of Gad and Reuven to fight alongside the rest of the Jewish people before returning to their own land. He tel
This evening we analyze the requirement to not only speak truthfully but meaningfully. We explore the extent to which losing one's temper is harmful to oneself, even when it is justified. And we see the practical applica
The tribes of Reuven and Gad asked Moshe for permission to settle east of the Jordan River rather than enter the Land of Israel with the rest of the Jewish people. Moshe reluctantly agreed, but only after insisting on co
A year ago, I was convinced AI had little to offer me. I was wrong. Today I use ChatGPT every day, and it consistently helps me think more clearly, and improves my work beyond what I could accomplish on my own. Precisely
There are people whose cruelty makes us question humanity. But there are also people whose goodness raises an equally profound question. How is it possible for ordinary human beings to show such extraordinary compassion,
The Torah's response to negligent homicide is remarkably humane. Rather than imposing a fixed prison sentence, it sends the offender to an Ir Miklat - a City of Refuge - where rehabilitation is the goal and release can c
Yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of the Israeli rescue operation at Entebbe. Last week, newly released Israeli government documents and cabinet meeting minutes reveal a more complex picture of the deliberations that
America turns 250 this week. I love my country, and I worry about it. Like many Americans, I see division, anger, and a growing loss of trust. But I refuse to believe those problems tell the whole story. I love America e
This evening we remember and pay tribute to Aviva Ravel, a regular and beloved part of our group Thursday nights and every morning at our 10@9, who passed away last week. We discuss an insight from Rabbi Meilech Biderman
Tehillim, the Book of Psalms, is more than a sacred text. It is the language Jews have used for centuries to express fear, hope, gratitude, grief, and faith. No book of Tanach is carried more deeply into the emotional mo
Everyone remembers the staff that blossomed. After Korach's rebellion, God instructs Moshe to take twelve staffs - one from each tribal leader - and place them in the Mishkan. By morning, only Aharon's staff has blossome
Who greeted you every morning when you arrived at school as a child? For me, and for thousands of students who attended Memphis Hebrew Academy, that person was Mrs. Finkelstein. She smiled. She helped. She made people fe
Charedi society in Israel is not monolithic. It contains many voices, and it is changing in different directions at the same time. But recent acts of violence by Charedi extremists against those enforcing Israeli law hav
On a recent trip to Israel, I visited the family of a fallen soldier. His father spoke openly with me, a complete stranger, about his son, his loss, and his pride. Though his heart was broken, he expressed gratitude for
