  • Summary

  • The rabbis tell us that the Torah (Scripture) has seventy faces. That means that the text of the Bible can be endlessly fascinating. Like the facets of a diamond a great work reveals truths about our lives--daily joys and daily burdens—truths which can illuminate and inspire when approached from various perspectives. To uncover thoughts, values and moral precepts embedded in the text will be the purpose of this podcast. Another purpose of the podcast: to initiate discussions and deeper learning of the texts.

    Mar 15 2023

    Who hasn't been challenged by a project that requires assembly? You get all the pieces, a manual, a few tools, and as you look at the planks, the sockets, the screws you wonder how am I going to put all this together? Well, in this week's Torah reading all the various pieces of the Tabernacle (the Mishkan) have been manufactured. But who will assemble this sacred structure. The Israelites try and fail. The Chief architect, B'tzalel tries and he, too, fails. Finally all eyes turn to Moses, and he. . . well let's listen.
