Torah Portion – Metzorah (Vayikra 14:1 – 15:33)
This is a commentary on the Torah portion Metzora – “Leper.” In the previous Torah portion we learned about the affliction of tzarat and how it was the physical manifestation of a spiritual malady. In Metzora, instruction is given as to the procedure when a metzora is healed of his affliction. The distinctions between this ritual […]

Torah Portion – Tazriah (Vayikra 12:1 – 13:59)
This is a commentary on the Torah portion Tazriah – “Conceive.” Where the previous Torah portion emphasized those animals whose carcass could render someone unclean, this portion focuses on contamination resulting from what emanates from humans. The greater part of this sidrah details the plague of tzarat, most commonly treated as “leprosy,” yet as we see, […]

Torah Portion – Sh’mini (Vayikra 9:1 – 11:47)
This is a commentary on the Torah portion Sh’mini – “Eighth.” All the preparation for and anticipation of the mishkan culminates on this the eighth day since the consecration of the priesthood began.

Great!
Great teachings. So appreciative of the things I’ve learned from these over the past several years. I’ve been missing these the last few weeks though!

On the Sabbath
I very much enjoy your teachings and insights into the Torah. May HaShem continue to bless you. After listening to this teaching, Beshelach, I’d like to comment on the passage you discuss about leaving your home or taking steps that are more than a “Sabbath day’s journey”. I’ve come to understand that because our Master was blameless, if He were to have been in the Synagogue on the Sabbath, He would have been within the vicinity so as not to ‘blemish His record’. On my visit to Israel we resided in Har Bracha, in the West Bank. Six weeks of observing the Shabbat here and shalom was upon this entire community. In the afternoon on the Shabbat you might see a family take a walk together, but there were no cars on the streets. For six days the men of the community would be seen headed to the synagogues, stores were open, it was business as usual....but on the seventh everything came to a halt. There is nothing like truly resting on the Shabbat. For us it is supposed to be a taste of the world to come..24/7 Shabbat! Just wanted to leave my thoughts. Shalom !
