Weekly Torah
Our lives are made up of spiritual trials and journeys. Just as the Ark of the Covenant traveled with Israel in her journeys in the wilderness, so does G-d accompany us always in our spiritual journeys.

The case of the sotah – the woman accused by her husband of infidelity, has its parallel on the national level when Israel’s faithfulness has been tested by G-d. The historic exile of Israel which is coming to a close in our days, also embodies the ceremony conducted in the Holy Temple testing whether the covenant has been honored or whether it has been defiled.

In the desert each of the Israelite tribes was assigned a flag. What was the significance of the flags? What made them so important to G-d? What makes them so important to us today?

G-d commands the children of Israel to observe the sabbatical year by letting the land of Israel rest. This act of sanctifying the land by placing our total faith in G-d, grants us the peace we so fervently desire.

As a nation of priests, we are instructed to deal with the art of living, and not to be swept away by the debilitating illusion of death. All that G-d brings about in His world is pure kindness, even that which so troubles the soul.

A Call to Holiness: “You shall be holy for I, HaShem, your G-d, am holy.” (Lev. 19:1) A tall order, for sure, but G-d seems to think that we’re up for it. He calls upon and expects that each and every individual, as well as the entire assembly of Israel is capable of being holy and of leading holy lives. Being holy involves dedicating our entire souls and bodies to doing what’s good in G-d’s eyes, today and in this world.
Acharei Mot-Kedoshim (Leviticus 16:1-20:27)

When our body aches we know it is telling us something. What if our body could warn us as to a spiritual transgression on our part? Tzara’at, often, but incorrectly translated as leprosy, was a spiritual affliction contracted by the Israelites in the desert when their social behavior betrayed a coarsening of their spirit. Thus warned, they could mend their ways, and return to their people.
