    PARASHA: “VaYIGASH” (and he drew near) GENESIS 44:18-47:27 In this Parashah, we read that “he (Y'hudah) drew near” to Yosef, and shows himself as truly repentant for his past actions against Yosef, for selling him for the price of a common slave. And we see the reaction of Yosef once...

    A look at 1 Kings 3:15-4:1

    1 KINGS 3:15-4:1 In this scripture portion, we see Solomon lifting up“burnt-offerings” and “peace-offerings.” He also had “dreams.” In his dream, YHVH asked him what he wished for, “For wisdom, an understanding heart to judge this people,” and YHVH thus granted him what he wished for...

    "One Hanukkah in Auschwitz" (A Tale for this last day of Hanukkah)

    “I’m Sergeant Kohler, Herr Rabiner. I’m replacing Sergeant Muller.” “What happened to Muller?” asked the rabbi. “Sent to the front, for reasons that are not really important,” replied Kohler. “Rabbi,” continued Sergeant Kohler, “not all Germans love Hitler and hate the Jews; some, like me...

    "One Hanukkah in Auschwitz" (A Tale for this last day of Hanukkah)

    “No” replied a second man, “the Rebbe will ask Herr Kommandant for some candles, matches, and maybe even a golden menorah.” The men were just shaking their heads, murmuring if indeed the rabbi had lost his senses. “Where is your faith?” replied the Rebbe, “is there anything too difficult for...

    "One Hanukkah in Auschwitz" (A Tale for this last day of Hanukkah)

    The hard thing to do in a place like this would be to put love and forgiveness into action. He knew what he had to do. He would not allow hate to conquer his spirit. He was a rabbi and represented the Torah of Adonai; he had to remember that. The evening count was given to the commandant. After...

    "One Hanukkah in Auschwitz" (A Tale for this last day of Hanukkah)

    ONE HANUKKAH IN AUSCHWITZ It was a very cold and snowy late afternoon when the prisoners of barracks 9 returned from their work. The bitter frost made the scrap metal stick to the men’s hands as the job required the prisoners to move mountains of metal from one place to another. At times, it...

    Joseph! Savior, judge, and a symbol of Messiah (Genesis 41:1-44:17)

    Parashah: “Miketz” (at the end of) GENESIS 41:1-44:17. When we look into this parashah study, we see Yosef, who was, in a way of speaking, in the “pit.” He was cast into prison for something he did not do, yet he continued to trust YHVH for his needs. This reminds us of King David's...

    What is "Hanukkah" all about? (A lesson in history)

    Another question is, where did they “bring in new vessels from?” Did they have them made? Did Judah send a detachment or a regiment of soldiers to Antioch to recapture the temple furniture and bring them back to Jerusalem? We know that Antioch was the headquarters of Antiochus, and he probably...

    A STUDY ON HANUKKAH, WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? (From the evening of December 14 - ending December 22nd) “And it was at Jerusalem the Feast of the Dedication (Hanukkah), and it was winter, and Yeshua (Jesus) walked in the temple in Solomon's porch” (John 10:22,23). The chapter goes on to...

    Joseph! Jesus! Similarities and contrasts: Genesis 37:1-40:23

    Thank you for your comments. I think we all want "revenge" at times for wrongdoing, but revenge will not correct the wrongdoing. it might even place the "revenger" behind bars."

    Joseph! Jesus! Similarities and contrasts: Genesis 37:1-40:23

    PARASHA: “VaYeshev” (and he settled) GENESIS 37:1-40:23 In this study, the focus is on Yosef, who is going to be in the limelight of God. Things seem to be going from bad to worse for this young teenager. It wasn't all his fault, we could say. His father, Jacob, held him high up on a...

    "Getting kicked out of music class" (a third-grade mishap)

    “Why are you two out of class?” she asked in a rather serious tone. Now, since Jonathan was the one who started laughing, and I was in trouble on account of him, well, I would let him answer Ms. Comboy’s question. “We got kicked out of class.” He responded quietly, not knowing what...
