Korach … and I’m stumped

Yep, I have to admit it … Korach (Korah) always seems to stump me in various ways when I read this Torah Portion. It’s the story in Numbers 16 about one of the leaders in the Israelite tribes, Korah, who had the audacity to question why Moses was the only one that could lead. It caused a LOT of headaches….and…

Just a bad day…

So you had a bad day….do you remember that song? As you listen to the lyrics…I’ll bet a tiny smile is tryin to tickle your lips. Brings back some way back memories from years ago, doesn’t it? It does for me. Even though the lyrics seem ‘sad‘ – somehow the melody manages to lift you up a bit. If not…let’s…

Go Forth….

The Torah Portion for this week is “Shelach” and is found in the 37th reading, Numbers 13:1-15:41. Literally, it means to ‘send out’. So I ask you, have you been ‘sent out’? What do I mean, you ask?

Ruth’s Journey

Well, we can’t talk about Ruth without remembering a bit about Orpah ( and yes, I’ve heard that one letter was changed in her name for that famous one in our time). Orpah….decided to listen to her mother-in-law, Naomi and turned away and went back home. Maybe she felt that traveling that distance to a foreign land with foreign peoples…

Shabbat Shalom!

Do you celebrate the Sabbath? You know …  that 4th commandment thing … I only found out that it was NOT on Sunday about 30 years ago…took me a while, but now….I can’t imagine NOT celebrating the 7th day – the day that HE rested…. Try it, you’ll like it!

A Little About Ruth

The Story of Ruth is an interesting and valuable lesson for all of us in a general example, however if we dig deep into the ‘woman’ it’s a treasure trove! First and foremost, background. This woman named Ruth was a Moabite woman who lived during the era of Israel’s judges. At that time, the Israelites and the Moabites were enemies…

Shavuot….Pentecost…

Many of our friends and family just celebrated the 3rd FEAST of the LORD (Lev. 23) called SHAVUOT. It’s an amazing feast day filled with a wealth of knowledge if one just takes the time to even scratch beneath the surface. One of the most interesting occurrences affiliated with this amazing feast day is that the Book of Ruth is…
