…n to welcome us. I felt embraced, and I didn’t feel invisible anymore. One day I was speaking with my brother-in-law on the phone. I was talking about BEKI (which by this time I had joined) and the feeling that I have here. And I confided in him that one day I’d like to get up on the bima and read from the Torah. And as I said these words I began to tremble. The very thought was overpowering to me. To even think of myself as playing such an honore…

…ries really involve two different Kings with the same name. The story in today’s parsha is the last of the three episodes. The appearance in the Bible of two versions of a story is called a doublet — what we have here is sometimes called a triplet, although some scholars deny that these three form a true triplet because they see today’s passage as an independent story simply offering an episode in the life of Isaac. First let’s compare the three e…
…, a collage, or an art project there is always some reminder in it of that day. “See Momm, these are stairs we ran down when we had to be evacuated.” Miriam says that Issac is really good with Rachel. He made a book with her. She drew the pictures and he wrote the story. They called it Last Man Down and it tells the story of the courage of firefighters and rescue workers. Isaac always reminds Rachel that there were 3,000 killed but there were also…
…at this time. The parallel here speaks for itself. You’ll note also that today’s parasha resounds with the number seven – the seventh year is the sabbatical year- the seven days of Passover, the seven weeks until the Feast of weeks, etc. At some point during this last year I looked around the table and realized- “We are seven women — one teacher and six students.” Coincidence?

…(Deuteronomy 29) – It does not say, “that are not here standing with us today,” but rather “with us today.” Those future souls who weren’t yet created weren’t actually standing. Although they did not yet exist, still each one received their share of the Torah…and not only all the prophets received their prophecy from hbhx rv but even the scholars who arise in every generation, each one of them received theirs from Sinai. All the people – all Jews…
…er about guys who have to do that. Are they that insecure? Luckily women today don’t have to wonder about what they can attain physically. Just look at the US women’s soccer team, and our own undefeated UCONN women Huskies. Not to make the guys feel any worse, well, maybe just a little, but are the men’s Huskies undefeated? I think not. Another issue like that is about women in the service. I read an article about women in the Israeli army. Every…
