The spirit of wisdom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In recording the transition of leadership from Moshe to Yehoshua, the Torah states: “Yehoshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands upon him; and Bnei Yisrael (the Children of Israel) listened to him and did as Hashem had commanded Moses." (Devarim 34:9) At first glance this verse seems to contain an incomprehensible idea. It is true that Yehoshua acquired his Torah knowledge from his Rebbe (teacher) Moshe. However, it must be assumed that this was acc

There are many compelling reasons why one should repent at this time. The Rambam explains that we can abandon sin and embark on the righteous path at any time. The Mitzvah of Teshuva (repentance) is not restricted to a particular time, but the question arises, are there occasions that are more propitious for this activity?

Because this is a time of judgment, when all humanity comes before Hashem, it is most propitious to examine our ways and engage in Teshuva. (Rambam, Hilchot Teshuva 2:6) Yet many people have a low opinion of themselves and despair of their ability to improve. Parashat Nitzavim, however, is optimistic and assures us in no un

This week’s Parsha, Ki Teitze, takes up the question of those who seek to marry into the Klal Yisrael (Congregation of Israel). Of course, a Jew may not marry a gentile but, in general, is permitted to wed someone who has properly converted to Judaism. However, there are exceptions even to this rule, as discussed in our Parsha. It is painful to note that, today, roughly 80% of nonreligious American Jews intermarry. The degree of assimilation is such that, in the not distant future, the once robu
