Weekly Torah
Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series of short messages concerning the weekly Torah Portion.
The children of Israel build the tabernacle which sits still when covered by the cloud but the lifting of the cloud is a sign that it is time to move on. So too, in our own lives. We create our own tabernacle, so to speak, a meeting place with G-d. Sometimes this appointed place becomes covered with clouds of doubt and spiritual stagnation. When the cloud lifts it is a sign from G-d that it is time to dispel doubt and move on in our spiritual journey.

Problem and Solution Summary:
Due to a power problem at the data center resulting from an explosion in the power system that destroyed the utility room at the data center, our media servers went off-line Saturday afternoon around 5pm CDT. After many successive assurances that the server would be back in operation “soon”, it became evident that this would not be the case. (As of this writing, the server is still not available.) Measures were taken to restore backups onto a different server, and a good deal of that work is now done after about 2.5 days of almost non-stop file transfers and network configuration/redirection tasks.

The spiritual transition between slavery and freedom, emancipation and nationhood which Israel undergoes between her liberation on the 15th of Nisan and the receiving of Torah at Sinai seven weeks later, is captured in the twin commandments concerning the omer: harvesting and offering the barley to HaSHem, and counting seven perfect weeks.
