This is my commentary on the torah portion Vayera – “And He appeared.” In this torah portion we see the culmination of Abraham’s transformation from just a man with a calling to the spiritual father of a nation. The pinnacle of this sidrah is the akeidah – the binding of Isaac – and Abraham’s unwavering […]

This is my commentary on the torah portion Lech L’cha- “Go for yourself.” In this portion we have one of the most important stories Scripture has to offer – the call of Abram of Ur to become Abraham the Hebrew.

Shalom. This is our commentary on the Torah’s final portion, V’zot Ha’Berachah – “And this is the blessing.” In this portion, Moses prepares to be gathered unto “his fathers” but before leaving this world, like Jacob, he blesses the tribes of Israel.

Shalom. Here is our commentary on the parsha Ha’azinu or “listen.” This portion is the song of Moses given to Israel just before his death.

Shalom. This is our audio commentary on the portion Vay’yelech – “and he went.” On the last day of his life, Moses went through the camp to encourage the people that the Creator would continue to guide them even though he, Moses, would no longer be with them. Yet, he also warned them that, in […]

Shalom! This is our audio commentary on the portion nitzavim – “standing.” As Moses’ life draws to a close, he reminds the people to beware of the idolatry they will encounter in the Land.

1Shalom! This is our commentary on the portion Ki tavo – “when you come (into the land).” In this torah portion, the most prominent feature is the “blessings and curses” presented to Israel as a result of obedience or disobedience.

Shalom. Here is our audio commentary on the torah portion ki tetze – “when you go out.” There are so many issues that are addressed in this portion that it would require an essay to summarize them for you here; I will simply highlight some of the major ones for you. –The “beloved wife” and […]

Shalom. Here is the audio commentary on the portion, shoftim or “judges.” The main emphasis of this portion is the status, qualifications and responsibilities of the officers and leaders of Israel: judges, the king, priests and the prophets.

Shalom. This is the (lengthy) commentary on Re’eh – “to see.” There was so much material in this portion – the Place where He sets His Name, false prophets and lying signs as well as the Year of Release – that I couldn’t limit it to the typical 60 – 90 minute format. As you […]

Shalom everyone. This is our commentary on the initial Torah portion of D’varim, called D’varim – “words.” !In the portion, Moses encourages Israel to, not only listen to his words but, hear him.

Shalom everyone. This is our commentary on the Torah portion, Mattot. As this portion begins, it focuses on the sacredness of vows.

This is our d’rash (commentary) on the torah portion, Balak. In this portion we see that, despite his best efforts, the Adversary can’t curse what the Father has blessed.

This is our d’rash (commentary) on the torah portion, Chukat. Who can render something pure from something that is impure? This is the prevailing theme in this Torah portion.
