Why was Avraham Avinu interceding on behalf of the wicked people of the decadent city of Sodom? Was he your typical bleeding-heart liberal who can’t distinguish between right and wrong? On the contrary, Avraham was showing his faith to the one true G-d and to the role that G-d granted him as guarantor of humanity.

“Always the bride’s maid,” the quiet month of Mar Cheshvan will yet have its day in the sun. Our sages teach us that the dedication of the future Holy Temple will be in the month of Mar Cheshvan, but for that to happen, we will need to roll up our sleeves and get serious about making it happen!

Avraham Avinu bursts upon the scene of world history, fighting for G-d’s name. Self-titled kings band together to try to take Avraham out and to rid the world of G-d once and for all. But you cannot defeat the King of kings, and being allied to the one true G-d puts our father Avraham in the proverbial catbird seat.

Noach, the innovator, the preacher, the builder, the savior of mankind, was, indeed, a vast and complex personality. In both his strengths and his tragic foibles, he proved very much to be a figure recognizable in our day. While he may have been a righteous man in his generation alone, the breadth and depth of his character make him a giant for all times.
Noach (Genesis 6:9-11:32)

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.

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?

The twelve massive stones Israel is commanded to to take from the Jordan River bed from the very spot upon which the feet of the priests who held the Ark of the Covenant stood, and to stand upright and build with them an altar and write upon them the entire Torah, are not mere markers or billboards. These stones’ function is to make real Israel’s eternal unbreakable bond to the land promised us by G-d.
