2009-2010 HUC YII D'vrei Torah. Friday, April 16, 2010. Allie Harris, Mishpatim. I like bacon. I kind of like it a lot. Growing up, I never thought twice about it. I knew about keeping kosher, I understood the rules, and a variety of reasons to keep kosher. It never really bothered me until I became more serious about applying to HUC. I started to think, are my years of bacon consumption numbered? Can I continue not keeping kosher? HUC New York professor, Leonard Kravitz, recently wrote about the effects...

2009-2010 HUC YII D'vrei Torah. Friday, April 16, 2010. Ethan Prosnit, Mishpatim. February 13, 2010. So this Shabbat, I’m going to break those two rules and discuss Judaism and politics. I know mixing them is controversial, but the interplay between our religion and political activism is one that I have been contemplating, one that I have been discussing with many of my classmates, and one that I believe is extremely important as future Jewish professionals. Do we? Preach politics from the pulpit? Jeremy...

2009-2010 HUC YII D'vrei Torah. Friday, April 16, 2010. Ahuva Zaches, Vayikra. Feeding God: From Rei’ach Nicho’ach to Ma’aseh Nicho’ach. March 20, 2010. How could we even imagine feeding God like this? The whole system of animal sacrifice seems primitive, if not grotesquely physical and violent compared to the worship we know. Put mildly, these notions are “uncomfortable” to us. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Http:/ hucyii.blogspot.com/. Carolan Glatstein, Acharei Mot-Kedoshim. Sarah Lauing, Shmini.

2009-2010 HUC YII D'vrei Torah. Friday, April 16, 2010. Jodie Gordon, Beshelach. עִמּוֹ וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה אֶת-עַצְמוֹת יוֹסֵף. Moses took the bones of Joseph with him. כִּי הַשְׁבֵּעַ הִשְׁבִּיעַ אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל. Because Joseph had made the Israelites swear an oath. He had said, 'God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up with you from this place.' " (Genesis 13:19). He took bones with him? What would you take with you? The very word conjures images of spooky Halloween ske...

2009-2010 HUC YII D'vrei Torah. Friday, April 16, 2010. Bess Wohlner, Yitro. February 4, 2010. Sounds great, right? וירא העם וינעו ויעמדו מרחק"And when the people saw it, they fell back and stood at a distance". You can't completely blame them, can you? In all of this, I started thinking: Are we living in a unique time where we are afraid to approach God? According to Parashat Yitro, the answer is a firm no. Even the Israelites were afraid to approach God. It's right here in the Torah. It's a difficult t...
