Ki Tavo: Tithing in the proper order (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twice during every seven-year cycle, the Torah enjoins us to declare that we have properly tithed our produce: "When you finish taking all the tithes for your produce ... you should declare before the Lord your God: I have removed all the sacred portions from the house. I have given to the Levite, the stranger, the orphan and the widow, according to all the instructions that You commanded me." (Deut. 26:12-13) What are these tithing instructions that God prescribed?

One of the lesser-known ways that the Torah provides for the support of the kohanim in their holy activities is through gifts of certain cuts of meat: "This shall be the kohen’s due from the people: when an ox or sheep is slaughtered for food, they shall give the kohen the foreleg, the jaw, and the maw." (Deut. 18:3) While this gift belongs to the kohanim, they do not have to eat it themselves. The Talmud (Shabbat 10b) recounts that Rabbi Hisda, fourth-century Babylonian scholar and a kohen, fou

The celebrated first Chief Rabbi of pre-state Israel, Rav Kook (1865-1935) is recognized as one of the most important Jewish thinkers of all time. His writings reflect the mystic's search for underlying unity in all aspects of life and the world. Rav Kook was a prominent rabbinical authority and active public leader, but at the same time a deeply religious mystic. He was both Talmudic scholar and poet, original thinker and saintly tzaddik. Due to Rav Kook's poetic style and abstract thought, his

All over the world, there are flourishing Jewish communities, blessed with thriving synagogues, bustling schools, and prominent yeshivot. With all of this vibrancy of Jewish life, do we truly feel the absence of the Beit HaMikdash? Are we aware of our state of exile and dispersion? The prophet Jeremiah describes God’s grief in startling terms, as the anguished roars of a lion: “God roars from on high; He calls out from His holy dwelling, roaring over His habitation" (Jeremiah 25:30).
