    Pekudei 5782

    This week, we talk about endings in the Torah, as we celebrate ending the second book of the Torah, the Book of Exodus, with Parashat Pekudei. Chazak, Chazak, v’Nitchazeik!

    Yitro 5782

    This week, we are taking a special look at one prominent element that is in this week’s Haftarah (Sephardic tradition - Isaiah 6:1-13; Ashkenazic tradition - Isaiah 6:1-7:6, 9:5-6). Find the text here. The Torah portion for Parashat Yitro is also one of the most significant moments to look at from a tropeful perspective. I discussed many of these enlightening perspectives in the past which you can find in the episode for Yitro 5777.

    Bo 5782

    Once again, this week, we take a look at how the trope delineates the interrogative. A question and then an answer.

    Vaera 5782

    It is the last Torah portion of 2021 or the first of 2022 … you decide! The focus this week is on the trope’s connection to Moses’ questioning of his abilities and his self-consciousness. (And I’m glad to be reviving the podcast!)

    Emor 5780

    Tropeful is back (again)! This time, I am starting fresh with a Taste of Tropeful (about 5 mins of insights per episode). We can do this! Be Tropeful.

    Noach 5779

    What’s in a name? How does trope connect to names to empower our understanding? The answer lies within. Find the texts discussed at these links: The end of Parashat Bereisheet discussed begins here (move to the 7th aliyah to reach the end of the portion) and Parashat Noach can be found here.

    Bereisheet 5777 (a throwback to Tropeful's first episode)

    As we begin the Torah anew this year, I present a flashback to my very first episode of Tropeful on this week’s parashah. I went back and relistened to this episode and found it a refreshing and insightful throwback! :) In this new year, may you be Tropeful.
