Facing a stern king or a loving father (or both) - The Jewish Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I remember, as a boy, standing beside my father in shul during Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, listening as he recited Avinu Malkeinu. Two words in Hebrew, four in English: Our Father, Our King. And I remember asking him once, which one is it, Tatty? Is G-d a king, sitting in judgment on high, weighing every deed on His scales? Or is He a loving father? My dad smiled the way dads do when a question is bigger than the child asking it. He told the story of a Jew back in Eastern Europe who made his li

Some people have a gift for doing things with a smile, even when theyâre complaining. This weekâs Torah portion, Ki Savo, asks us to bring that same spirit into something far more important: our relationship with G-d. First, the good news. The Torah promises blessing upon blessing when we walk in G-dâs ways. Then comes the bad news â a list of curses so harsh that our custom is to read them almost under our breath. Nobody wants to dwell on it. What triggered it? The Torah tells us plainl
In Torah, a son who never was. Until he was. - The Jewish Star (opens the original)

This week’s Torah reading contains a passage that bothered me for many years. It hasn’t in recent times, though that’s not necessarily good news. In parshat Ki Seitzei, we read about a boy who is stubborn, rebellious, a glutton, a drunkard, deaf to the appeals and pleas of his father and mother. Eventually, his parents haul him before the elders of the city. If the court finds against him, that’s it — the death penalty for being, essentially, a badly behaved teenager with an insatiable taste for

How many times were you told by your grandmother not to leave food on your plate? How often did you hear, “Do you know there are children starving in (fill in blank)?” And then, we’d feel guilty for the rest of the week. Well, the Torah has the same policy about words — nothing gets left over, nothing gets wasted, not a single word. And if a word shows up twice, you can be sure that Moses didn’t just repeat it because he forgot he had already said it. So here’s our verse from this week’s Torah r
Jews remember: âIf I forget thee, Oâ Jerusalemâ¦â - The Jewish Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are now in the middle of the Nine Days, the saddest period of the year which ends on Tisha BâAv, a national day of mourning commemorating the date when both Holy Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed. The First Temple, built by King Solomon, was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, in 586 BCE. The Second Temple was destroyed in 70 C.E. by the Roman Empire under Titus, hence the Arch of Titus in Rome celebrating his victory and the expulsion of the Jews from Jerusalem. Many people ask
