 This week we read Parashat Balak. It’s all about Communication. In it, there’s a donkey that talks and sees visions. There’s a non-Jewish prophet that speaks with our God. He is sent to bring curses on the Israelite people, but instead, he brings blessings. This is a story of turning curses into blessings, and of … Continue reading: Parashat Balak- The Power Of Words  “The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘You and your brother Aaron take the rod and assemble the community, and before their very eyes order the rock to yield its water. Thus you shall produce water for them from the rock and provide drink for the congregation and their beasts.” Numbers 20:7-8 This week we read Parashat … Continue reading: Parashat Chukkat – Do You Really Need That Stick?  This is quite a week of rebellion of Moses’ authority. The Children of Israel haven’t been content. There’s been a lot of unrest and arguing within the community. They’ve been complaining about everything, even the food. God is getting impatient with the Israelites, and Moses had to really build them up, so God wouldn’t punish … Continue reading: Parashat Korach – How Far Is Too Far  Could T.V. stoop any lower? Tonight is the debut of a new reality show called “Princesses: Long Island” (Just what we need….another reality show) This one features a group of spoiled Long Island women, all in their 20’s , all Jewish. I’m already offended. All I needed to hear was a voice from the commercial screeching, … Continue reading: "Princesses: Long Island" Aren’t We Better Than This?  This week’s Parashat, Shelach, has a lot to do with fear. Sometimes fear gets the better of us, and we lose our way, and too often we project this fear on others. The Israelites are finally approaching the Promised Land. It has been such a long time. God tells Moses to send out spies…one from each … Continue reading: Parashat Shelach – Lions & Tigers & Bears, Oh, My!  This week we’re reading Parashat Behaalotecha. At the end of the parasha, there’s an interesting story about Miriam, Moses’ sister. She publicly criticizes her brother about his Cushite wife. She is dark-skinned, and not an Israelite. Aaron also criticizes his brother, Moses, with these words: “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Has he not … Continue reading: Parashat Behaalotecha – Building a Cohesive Team |
