Parshas Mishpatim
Parshas Mishpatim I once heard from one of my Rosh Kollels regarding why the Parsha begins with the matter of Eved Ivri, a Jewish slave. It would seem that since Parshas Mishpatim is the Parsha of monetary laws, so introduce the Parsha with the heavyweight sugyas – shor, bor, maveh, hev’er. Damages, theft, and so forth.…
Parshas Shemos
Parshas Shemos I went to a Kiddush this Shabbos, Parshas Shemos, and I heard a nice idea about Jewish Beliefs from the Rabbi that hosted the Kiddush. Now, Chazal (Our Sages) tell us that we should tell over words of Torah in the name of him who said it, but not everyone appreciates his name being mentioned…

Torah Reading – Pinchas The Sons Of Korach It would seem that there is a contradiction between what Rashi writes in this Torah portion regarding…
Torah Reading Pinchas 5769

Parshas Emor 5769
Parshas Emor In Parshas Emor we find some of the prohibitions for Kohanim.
