Shva Merachef: May 2011
http://shvamerachef.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Words of Torah, Dikduk and other thoughts. Sunday, May 1, 2011. God is Kadosh - How do we become Kadosh? Columbia/Barnard Hillel Seudah Shlisheet – K’doshim 5771. This week’s parasha of Kedoshim is filled with details of a variety of mitzvot – 51, in fact, according to the count of the Sefer Ha h. A medieval Spanish work which enumerates all of the commandments according to the parasha. The verses seem to jump from topic to topic almost at random at a first glance - from bein adam l’haveiro. I would like...

Words of Torah, Dikduk and other thoughts. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Only at JTS - Halloween = יום העצמות? I was chatting with Professor Visotzky today before class, and we were discussing an article assigned by Prof. James Kugel. Prof Visotzky: Jim is a wonderful writer and lecturer. Me: I didn't get to hear him at the Seminary last year, but I did hear him lecture last year at Or Zarua, speaking about if there ever was an independent Jewish state before '48. As we like to say, tradition and change.

http://shvamerachef.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Words of Torah, Dikduk and other thoughts. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. פרשת בהעלתך Light - why here, why now? Over the past few weeks since I returned from New York, I have attended a surprising number of shivas. For friends from the shul. Who have lost loved ones. My aunt. Also passed away last week after a painful fight with cancer - another sobering experience with death and loss. It's not always easy to pay a shiva. It is my hope that these words, based on this week's portion of Behaalotcha. Out of the...

Words of Torah, Dikduk and other thoughts. Sunday, July 17, 2011. Pinehas 5771: A Break from Leining, Yet a still Torah-Filled Shabbat. While sparing a long story, this Shabbat ended up being a week off from my regular summer Torah reading in Highland Park, NJ. Yet fate seemed to wish to ensure that I wouldn't be to Torah deprived this week, and so I gave a d'var torah. At Shaare Tzedek, I taught midrashim from the 9-11th century Palestinian collection Bamidbar Rabbah. Shavua Tov and thank you for joinin...
