Moses – singing his song just for us – a song that will never grow old and never let us grow deaf to the Torah of G-d. But not content to be a solo performer, Moses calls upon every one of us to sing our own song. What better way to put our own lives in harmony with G-d’s will and His discerning ear.

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Chapter 5
Mishnah 20
There are three categories of disputes. Two of these are diametric opposites: personal conflict, which G-d abhors, and debate that is purely for the sake of Heaven, which G-d helps support. The intermediate category is a dispute that is sincerely motivated, but also has an element of pride or competition. In these, G-d does not intervene.
Dedicated to Barbara Green
It is Moses’ last day on earth and he is pressing Israel to decide: Where do we stand and where are we heading? Are we ready to cross the great divide, the borderline that separates us from who we are today to who we really need to be?
