The Oneness of Diversity
This week's Torah portion, va-et'chanan, can give us a helpful frame as we consider what it means to truly recognize the diversity we have in our community.
To Be Worthy
It is a paradox, really. People of real worth tend to have worth because of their belief in their unworthiness. That's one of Moses's messages to the Israelites in this week's Torah portion, Eikev.
The Responsibility of Power
In this week's portion, R'eih, Moses continues his speech to the Israelites, explaining to them what will happen as they cross the Jordan and enter the Promised Land.
Justice, Justice You Shall Pursue
In this week's Torah portion, Shof'tim, we find one of the most powerful verses in all Jewish text. Tzedek, tzedek, tirdof - Justice, justice you shall pursue.
All The More So
This week's Torah portion, Ki Teitzei, is chock full of laws that cover all kinds of topics: what to do when your neighbor's ox falls into a pit, who you are allowed to marry, even prohibitions against planting two different kinds of seeds in the same field.
