Esta semana se leen dos partes y estamos terminando el libro de Shemot o Éxodo. Las porciones de esta semana son Vaykayel y Pekudei. El profeta y cohen suelen llevar ropa diferente. ¿Por qué? La ropa nos diferencía y se puede designar a la autoridad. Los profetas fueron dentro y fuera de la vida de los pueblos y llevaba ...

Va'etchanan, Deuteronomy 3:23 - 7:11 is this week's Torah portion.

El papel de la mujer en el judaísmo tradicional ha sido groseramente tergiversado y mal interpretado. La posición de las mujeres no es baja como mucha gente piensa, de hecho, la posición de la mujer en la halajá (ley judía), la cual se remonta a la época bíblica, es en muchos sentidos mejor qu ...
This week’s portion is Chukas and is multifaceted. The focus will be a woman supplying water to an entire people in the desert this week. Miriam was not a young woman.

This week's parsha Korach, Bamidbar (Numbers) 16:1 – 18:32 follows the story of the spies' lashon hara against the land and speaking against what the Most High had promised the people. There is a connection between last week and this week. Now we have three men, Korach, Datan and Aviram who are contesting and speaking against the ...
Shabbat brings in a new month Rosh Chodesh Tammuz this week. Each month has a place in the Jewish calendar and significance spiritually. Tammuz is the fourth month.

The parsha Sh'alach Bamidbar (Numbers) 13:1 -15:41 is an adventure story. The good guys, bad guys, the crowd, plot, subplot and theme in this portion.

It is sometimes called egg bread, and has a distinct yellowish interior if egg yolks are used. Challah is a part of many Sabbath celebrations, and also is consumed during many Jewish ho ...
This week's parsha we learn something about Moshe, Aaron, Miriam, and the people of Israel, We are given the opportunity to see ourselves before the Most High in light of history with the lense of what it is, not what it appears to be to us.

Observing, Trembling, Trusting - Hearing and Knowing Our Redeemer Parsha Behar-Bechukotai (Leviticus 25:1-27:34) calls for decision, action pulling no punches.

Kedusha (holiness) is the theme opening again for this portion. Twice Moshe speaks, about this lifestyle required of them. A lifestyle with more required and more restrictions than the rest of the Israelites. The priests and high priests were more than just religious figures performing roles. They stood in for the people, made korbanot (sacrifices ...
