Despite tears and pain, still âzman simchatenuâ - The Jewish Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we conclude Yom Kippur, we are instructed by Chazal to start looking forward to Succot and begin constructing the succah immediately that evening. We are to look forward to zman simchatenu, the time of our happiness, something that may be difficult, given all the sadness, tragedy, challenges and hardship that surround us every day. This is especially palpable in Israel, with social media amplifying it and incidents even in the most remote corners of the globe brought before our eyes and into
Whatâs wrong with us? Why donât we ever learn? - The Jewish Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Finally returning home to Israel has been both tremendously uplifting and infuriating. Uplifting because to be home, in the greatest city in the world, Yerushalayim, with incredible weather, great food, loads of friends, and most significantly the profound sense of ruchniyut (spirituality) and mashmaut (purpose) that pervades everything you do and experience. I say this without exaggeration, because you experience it all, without even trying. But also infuriating, not just because my neighborâ
Weâve got the ownerâs manual. Now go read it! - The Jewish Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anyone who has purchased a computer, electronic device or appliance knows that it comes with a thick multilingual ownerâs or userâs manual. We also know that nobody reads it. At best, we look at the âQuickStartâ sheet and dive right in. Usually, you can figure things out by asking a more experienced or savvy person or by Googling it. If thereâs a serious issue, you may watch an online video or call a tech professional. But the manual is basically discarded, and many manufacturers donâ
Eicha vâAyeka Yisrael: How and Where are you? - The Jewish Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are roughly at the halfway point in sefer Devarim, about to complete this Shabbat the sixth parsha, Ki Tetzei, with five more to go. It is noteworthy that four of the first five parshiyot of Devarim explicitly contain the Hebrew word eicha. The fifth occurrence is in parshat Haazinu, the penultimate parsha. No other sefer in the Torah contains this word. We associate the word eicha with Tisha BâAv. Twice we lost our Holy Temples and Jerusalem, to different enemies hundreds of years apart. E
Itâs âtzedek vâemetâ and âchesed vârachamimâ - The Jewish Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, parshat Shoftim emphasizes âTzedek, Tzedek tirdof (justice, justice you shall pursue). Justice must be subsumed with truth (emet) because if it is not true, it is a perversion of justice. Weâve seen this in the âsocial justice warriorsâ marching in support of Hamas and Iran, accusing Israel and Jews of genocide and the most vile crimes, while calling it âjustice.â On the other hand, if justice has only truth and no kindness and mercy (chesed vârachamim) then it is too ha
