Day 42 – All Grown Up
Positive Word Power Meatballs and pasketti. Bunny wabbit. Eighteen, nineteen, ten-teen. Learning is a process of making mistakes. Children, who are new to everything, tend to make a lot of mistakes, and many of them sound adorably funny to the adults who dote on their every word. It pays, however, to be sensitive to the reactions […]

Rendezvous with G-d- Parshas Emor
Recently, two tenth grade students of mine shared with me a late-night/ early-morning conversation they had had. While I’m usually wary of teenagers’ discussions in the middle of the night, this one made me proud of them. Before Passover, these students were discussing the advantages of the Jewish calendar, which always provides us with something […]

Are you a self-serving Jew? – Parshas Chukas
This week's Torah portion, Chukas, features the law of the red heifer, which is considered the quintessential illogical law in the Torah. The ashes of the red heifer were used to purify one who was ritually impure, yet these very same ashes would defile one who started off in a state of ritual purity. Although […]

Lessons Learned from Sandy: Be Prepared- Parshas Chayei Sara
If you're like me, in the days leading up to Hurricane Sandy you didn't take all of those ominous-sounding warnings too seriously. Just out of curiosity, I went to my local supermarket where I saw people stocking up on bottled water and non-perishable items like they were going out of style. I really couldn't understand […]
