…m and the women sing their song after crossing the Red Sea. Unfortunately, Moses has to interfere with Mi Chamocha. Oh well. I myself am a very strong feminist. I feel that women are every bit as equal as men. But, I will not say equal in all ways. Most men are stronger than women, but that’s just the way they are built and the way the public sees men. Because of that, some men try to keep in shape and try to maintain their male status in the publ…
…ase, I would argue, with today’s regular reading, Tsav. “Vayomer Adonai el Moshe lemor: Tsav et Aharon ve-et banav torat ha-ola And the Eternal said unto Moses, Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the burnt offering.;” According to Rashi, the expression tsav, “command,” always implies an order that takes effect immediately, and that is binding upon future generations. It is in today’s parasha that we read of the ner tamid, the…
…it’s really easy not to practice when it is just me. I also like going to movies, watching scifi tv, and reading books. Alisa & Glenn Levine We moved to Connecticut from the Boston area in September of 2021 to be closer to our children (Rozzie & Ben in New Haven and Avi & Arielle in Fairfield) and our grandchildren (Charlie, Shayna & Zoe). Shortly thereafter we were “recruited” by the Rodwin family, Charlie & Shayna and their parents, to join the…

…2 “le-vatala.”) The case law is instructive. A question arose concerning a Monday morning service when there were two bridegrooms present, neither of whom was a Kohen or Levi. The question was, who was entitled to the third aliya? The Kohen and Levi were needed for the Minyan (quorum), so they could not leave, and they were entitled to the first and second aliyot by virtue of their tribal status. That created competing claims for the one remaining…
…of all the people. Imagine if the parshah has told us, tribe by tribe, the number of people in each tribe, and separately, the number of males, 20 and up, who were fit for service. Would that kind of census send a different message to us, a message saying, “everyone counts”, including all the women? The second census, what I’ll call the redemption census, I find a strange one. It requires counting of all the male Levites who were at least a month…
…th lists start with a broad thing to give up and then narrow it down: list number one — go from your land, your birthplace, your father’s house. List number two — take your son, your only son, the one you love, Isaac. This similarity led me to still others. One of the first, and most obvious, comparisons between the two instances of lekh lekha was that in both, God is sending Abraham on a journey. In the first lekh lekha, God is starting Abraham o…
