After Yom Kippur, how can we remain silent about the Kotel? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rabbi Eliezer Simcha Weiss notes: While I serve as a member of the Council of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, the views expressed here are my personal views. It is only a few days since Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year. Throughout the hours of fasting and prayer, Jews around the world were united by the memory of the Avodah-the service of the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) in the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple).

“Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations" - What Has Changed in Our Generation, and What Do We Need to Understand? This year, Parshat Haazinu will be read on Shabbat Shuvah, 8 Tishrei 5787.

Read excerpt
Rabbi Eliezer Simcha Weisz is a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council. When we dip the apple into honey on Rosh Hashanah, we naturally think of our wish for a Shanah Tovah U’Metukah, a good and sweet year. But there is an interesting question: why do we specifically use honey from bees? Why not date honey or another natural sweetener?
