    R. Avital Hochstein on Parashat Ki Tissa: When Moshe Leaves

    The absence of a leader creates a vacuum, and this vacuum invites a question: What kind of leadership are we seeking?  At the beginning of Parashat Ki Tissa, Moshe is absent.  When he ascended the mountain at the end of Parashat Mishpatim, he entered the cloud, and left behind an alternative leadership structure, appointing two individuals in his stead: Aharon and Hur.  Who are they, what happens to them—and what do we learn from them about the essence of leadership?

    R. Elazar Symon on Purim: Does God Sleep?

    From a theological perspective, the most striking feature of the Book of Esther is God’s absence.  God’s name does not appear anywhere in the megillah, which—at least on the level of peshat (the simple, contextual meaning)—presents an entirely human story.

    R. Avital Hochstein on Parashat Tetzaveh: “Who Stays Your Hand?”: On Interdependence

    Being in a relationship is both an opportunity and a challenge.  Relationships with others have the potential to be life-expanding, but to achieve this they must be built with delicacy and intention of mind and heart.  The Torah portions of Terumah, Tetzaveh, and VaYakhel-Pekudei present various opportunities for encounter and connection—with others in general, and the connection between the Holy blessed One and humanity in particular.

    Searching for the Heart of Tanakh: R. Shai Held and R. David Kasher

    Traditional Jewish exegesis and modern academic scholarship often speak in different languages—one theological and reverential, the other historical and critical. In this public conversation, Rabbi Shai Held and Rabbi David Kasher reflect on how these frameworks shape our reading of the Bible, how they challenge one another, and how thoughtful engagement with both can lead to a richer, more responsible understanding of sacred scriptures. Recorded at the Tanakh Intensive 2026.

    R. Avital Hochstein on Parashat Terumah: The Blueprint of Intimacy

    Parashat Terumah opens with a divine request. God asks the Children of Israel for a contribution to achieve a specific goal: “And let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). The entire parashah, along with its layers of midrash, serves as a blueprint for how God seeks to be together with us—and how we can be together with others, even in an encounter that might otherwise seem impossible.

    R. Shai Held: Loving the Stranger-Sojourner (Ger)

    In addition to loving God and loving our neighbor, the Torah also commands us to love the stranger-sojourner (ger). This lecture delves into this surprising biblical mandate to love the stranger-sojourner and seeks to understand its relationship to more foundational ideas in Jewish theology, ethics, and spirituality. R. Shai considers questions like: Why does the God of the Torah love strangers-sojourners? How does a truly Torah-based society respond to its most vulnerable members? What is the relationship in our lives between our own memories of suffering and vulnerability and the ways we engage with others?

    R. Avital Hochstein on Parashat Mishpatim: Who Rests on Shabbat?

    Parashat Mishpatim shines a spotlight on human beings and their responsibility for the rest of others on Shabbat.
