Palm of Deborah, Part X
What is the nature of true prayer? Do our words and thoughts have the power to effect change? True prayer in its rarest and most precious form is the yearning of the heart. These feelings of yearning form an unseen yet tangible connection between us all, binding us to each other and in turn to every aspect of creation.
Dedication: Dedicated to Brian & Benjamin Spitz.

The sixth of the thirteen attributes of mercy, as described in the Tomer Devorah: The acts of kindness that we bestow upon one another are “recalled” by G-d and sweeten whatever harsh judgment we may be otherwise deserving.

Temple Institute Special Presentation
The incomparable Rambam (Maimonides), of blessed memory, was a giant of Jewish law who journeyed from North Africa to the land of Israel, braving storm and sea and an inhospitable land under crusader domination for one purpose: to visit Jerusalem, ascend the Temple Mount and pray at the place of “The Great and Holy House,” the site of the Holy Temple. In doing so Rambam performed the positive commandment of “mora mikdash,” showing reverence to G-d in the place of His Holy Temple. We can and must perform this same commandment today.

Palm of Deborah, Part IX
Our sages tell us that when we lose our temper and allow ourselves to act out of anger, we are succumbing to a form of idolatry. Conversely, by emulating G-d, and allowing our anger to be transformed into patience and forbearance, we are elevating ourselves and bringing G-d into our lives.

Palm of Deborah, Part VII
We all long for that perfect spot where bluebirds sing and all contradictions fade away. It can be attained, we can place ourselves on the other side of the rainbow, even in our own back yards, in the sukkot booths that we are commanded to build. Part cloud of glory and part earthly dwelling, our sukkot create for us a harmonious environment in which to dwell within G-d’s presence, the holy Shechina. Jews and Gentiles alike have a place in the sukkah.
Dedication: Dedicated to Mrs. Marcia Averbuck.

The opportunity to do teshuva, commonly translated as repentance, but more accurately defined as returning to G-d, and returning to yourself, as G-d intended you, awaits us every day of the year. But there is no day as propitious for teshuva as the 10th day of Tishrei – Yom Kippur. On this day, G-d, our Father and King, opens before us His Book of Our Lives, and allows us to make the changes we need to draw closer to Him, to our own true selves, and restart our lives on a whole other level.
Dedication: Dedicated to Christine and J. Anthony Crabtree.
