#kitisa #sefershemot #exodus #parshatkitisa #skippingstones #parable There is so much good and beauty in Parshat Ki Tisa. The artistry of Betzalel and Ohaliab are noted, the holy sabbath is described and we have an unforgettable and mystical scene where Moshe asks to see God. This final piece of Parshat Ki Tisa comes only after the incident of The Golden Calf with Moses begging for forgiveness for this people who grievously erred. When the people saw that Moses was so long i

Last week, in Parshat Terumah, we spoke about the space of the Mishkan. This week we encounter the details for how the Kohanim will dress. "These are the vestments they are

#yitro #parshatyitro #sefershemot #shemot #Aserethadibrot #mtsinai #givingofthelaw #thetencommandments I guess I can’t separate this particular blog post from the fact that our world is so full of noise. The noise of the news each day and the subsequent feeling that this constant noise surrounding us creates a sense of fear and foreboding. Parshat Yitro is named for Moshe’s wise and insightful father-in-law, but central to this Parsha is the giving of The Aseret Hadibrot . W

#bshalach #parshatbshalach #beshallach #beshalach #gobackforthebones #rangvili #israel #sefershemot #moshe #moses Hello Friends, Parshat Beshalach comes to reward us with music in the middle of the winter in our hemisphere. The Exodus from Egypt comes to a towering pinnacle with the crossing of the sea, the drownings of the Egyptian soldiers and the subsequent songs of victory on the other side of the sea. Within one parsha exists both joy and sorrow, anxiety and exuberance.

#IRAN #parshatbo #sefershemot #pesach #passover #letmypeoplego #bo #exodus #bookofexodus #fighttyrrany Parshat Bo continues the complicated dance of Pharaoh, the Hebrews, The Egyptian people, Moshe Rabeinu and Gd. Warnings, graphic descriptions of what will happen, the occurrence of the plagues, the aftermath, hardened hearts and minds changed swirl around this parsha. In Parshat Bo we see the suffering of the Egyptians as a result of the plagues. The Egyptians, whether we

#shemot #parshatshemot #sefershemot #exodus #torah #tanach The books of Breisheet and Shemot are connected by the listing the names of the sons of Jacob. After that preliminary step and necessary connection we are introduced to a new set of characters, most of whom remain unnamed for now. Central to Parshat Shemot is the power of mothers. Both Yocheved and Bityah (the daughter of Pharaoh) are fighters and are willing to defy the system. One mother, Yocheved, is willing to r
