Inside Out | jonathankroll

https://jonathankroll.org/2015/06/21/inside-out

Thinking about yeshiva high school education. I saw Inside Out the other day. I’m with all of the critics- it’s great. A.O Scott’s review is terrific. As usual. Joe Morgenstern. Does melancholy or sadness play a role? Should the joy of avodat Hashem dominate the experience or should the anxiety of doubt play a role?

Thinking about yeshiva high school education. Dvar Torah on Lech Lecha. Every once in a while if I like a Dvar Torah or some other thing that I’ve written in some context, I’m going to add it to the blog. Most things I write, I don’t like so much but I liked this one about Terach and Avram. This was for the YHS weekly parsha publication. I’ll annotate this Dvar Torah with some comments in red….

https://jonathankroll.org/2015/06/30/obergfell-v-hodges

Thinking about yeshiva high school education. Obergfell v. Hodges. The symposium in First Things. Is worth reading. Once again I was taken by the comments of רבי מורי Rabbi Shalom Carmy which offer a different and more refreshing angle than anything else I’ve read on the topic.
