As we reach the concluding chapters of Leviticus, we study the commandment of Shmita - that we must allow the land have a Sabbath every seventh year. Once again exploring the insights of Ellen Davis' "Scripture, Culture and Agriculture: An Agrarian Reading of the Bible" we discover the deep structure of the Biblical narrative. We begin to understand how our ancestors saw themselves as a part of the earth, not separate from it, but assigned by the Creator special responsibilities so that we might live in sustainable harmony with all of creation.…

In her superb Torah commentary "Mending the Heart, Tending the Soul: Directions to the Garden Within, " Gail Albert describes the Book of Leviticus as instructions to answer the question "How do we behave when YHVH is living next door?" Emor focuses on the special requirements of the ancient priestly caste. Yet the Torah also insists that all of us are to become a "a holy people, nation of priests," (Exodus 19:6) so somehow the priestly requirements pertain to us all. How do we become a "nation of priests"? The answer of course requires us to behave ethically, but also to expand our consciousness so that we perceive the interconnectedness of all reality.…

Utilizing the insights of Ellen Davis' fine study, "Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture: An Agrarian Reading of the Bible" (Cambridge University Press, 2009) we explore the teachings of this portion from an embodied, holistic perspective. God charges us to become a holy people - what does that mean? How do we map "holiness" onto our bodies, our communities, our sanctuaries, and our environment in a way that connects them all and keeps us conscious of the connections? Reading in this way opens new understandings of the Torah's deep wisdom.…

On this Shabbat, in preparation for Purim, in addition to the regular reading from Torah we always chant a passage form Deuteronomy that instructs us to blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven. In Jewish tradition, Amalek represents absolute evil - human behavior unhinged for morality or empathy. We explore this concept in our class today.…

"Pekudei" means "accounting." Moses gives a detailed accounting of every penny spent on the construction of the Mishkan. Why does the Torah spend time on these boring details? Our tradition teaches that this highlights yet another of Moses' important leadership qualities. A society based on mutual trust could only be created if its leaders were trustworthy and accountable.…

Our Torah ancestors were an agrarian society, acutely aware that they must live in harmony with the needs of the earth and the creatures with whom they shared the land. Hence, the rules for the Sabbatical year, when the land rests fallow, and the Jubilee year, when land is redistributed, with the understanding that we do not and cannot own the earth. We align this wisdom to the wisdom of Native Peoples of our continent, as Robin Wall Kimrerer writes in her book "Braiding Sweetgrass."…

Justice is an ideal that the Torah repeatedly insists we must pursue, no matter how difficult to attain. This week's Torah portion coincided with the guilty verdict handed down by the jury in the George Floyd murder trial. Justice was served. The Torah's teachings about what it means to be a good citizen and to live in a just society are an inspiration.…

The Torah understands the skin affliction known as Tzara'at to be an indicator of a loss of integrity. The afflicted, known as the Metzora, must undergo a period of isolation and then ritual of reintegration into the community, so that further communal disintegration can be prevented.

At the end of the Book of Exodus, Moses assembles the Mishkan, the dwelling place for the Divine Presence, that the Children of Israel have created. The Torah choice of words brings us right back to the beginning, Genesis, chapter 1, when God creates our world. We are meant to understand that, just as God made us a "house" to dwell in, so we, as God's partners in creation, must create a house in which the Divine Presence is welcome, in our homes, in our communities, and in our hearts.…

Joseph could be understandably bitter about the trajectory of his life: cast out of his family, repeatedly betrayed, imprisoned despite his innocence. He could easily view himself as a self-made man, surviving on his wits and with no allegiance other than to his own survival. But that is not the lesson Joseph has gleaned from the descents and ascents of his turbulent life. Instead, Joseph sees the “downs” as necessary precursors to the “ups.”…

In Jewish practice the Torah is divided into weekly portions such that in the course of a full year we make our way through the entire Five Books of Moses. In Hebrew we refer to the weekly portion as the parshah or parashah, the plural being parashiyot. We begin in the beginning every fall at the conclusion of the Jewish Holy Days, and every week we progress until, as a year passes, we reach the end of Deuteronomy. And we begin again. We even have an especially joyous holiday, Simchat Torah, to mark the completion and renewal of the annual cycle of readings. These essays follow that cycle, with one for each parashah, and can be a companion to those of you who wish to follow the annual Jewish rhythm for studying the Torah. There is a Hebrew phrase, שַׁרְשֶׁרֶת הַדּוֹרוֹת sharsheret ha’dorot, the chain of generations. It refers to the ongoing transmission of Torah, from the seminal moment at Mount Sinai — not an historical, geographical moment, but rather the birth of our tradition — down through every generation to the present. It is an honor to be able to forge a link in this living tradition.…

In Jewish practice the Torah is divided into weekly portions such that in the course of a full year we make our way through the entire Five Books of Moses. In Hebrew we refer to the weekly portion as the parshah or parashah, the plural being parashiyot. We begin in the beginning every fall at the conclusion of the Jewish Holy Days, and every week we progress until, as a year passes, we reach the end of Deuteronomy. And we begin again. We even have an especially joyous holiday, Simchat Torah, to mark the completion and renewal of the annual cycle of readings. These essays follow that cycle, with one for each parashah, and can be a companion to those of you who wish to follow the annual Jewish rhythm for studying the Torah. There is a Hebrew phrase, שַׁרְשֶׁרֶת הַדּוֹרוֹת sharsheret ha’dorot, the chain of generations. It refers to the ongoing transmission of Torah, from the seminal moment at Mount Sinai — not an historical, geographical moment, but rather the birth of our tradition — down through every generation to the present. It is an honor to be able to forge a link in this living tradition.…

As Rashi famously wrote, the first word of the Torah, "Bereishit" - "In the beginning," cries out for interpretation. In this class, we explore how the Zohar, the premiere Jewish mystical interpretation of the Torah, explains "the Beginning."

Chapter 23 of Leviticus describes the annual cycle of Jewish Holy Days. The description culminates with Sukkot, and we are instructed to rejoice and to remember that we dwelt in sukkot, temporary, portable shelters for 40 years as we wandered in the wilderness. But why should dwelling in temporary, fragile shelters be a source of joy? Following Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks brilliant commentary, we explore how to nurture joy in the face of our fragile and uncertain futures.…

Kedoshim makes clear that in order to "love our neighbor as ourself" we must be willing to intervene when they are harming themselves or someone else. This is known in Hebrew as "Tochecha." It is one of the most difficult aspects of true friendship, and Jewish teachings offer nuanced and emotionally sensitive guidance on when and how to interrupt someone else's destructive behavior.…

The Torah teaches that when an Israelite was afflicted with Metzora, a skin affliction that was contagious and appears to be untranslatable, they had to be separated from the community - a quarantine. The Talmud explores the responsibility of the afflicted person to protect the community, but also the responsibility of the community to care for the person. (My thanks to Rabbi Brent Spodek for his insights.)…

So we can tend to our inner flame daily, regularly, making sure we clean out the ashes of regrets and anxiety, and devote ourselves to letting our own inner lights shine clearly into the world.…

"Values" are basic and fundamental beliefs that guide or motivate one's attitudes and actions. "Jewish Values" are those basic beliefs that are fundamental to Judaism. In this discussion, we articulate those values that we agree are "Jewish", and we explore how those values should inform the positions we take in the current moment, both in the USA and in Israel. Also, we discuss that often core values can be in conflict with each other. Thus, values-based decision making often involves balancing conflicting positions, and requires careful and discerning thought.…

We examine the varying birth narratives in the Gospels, today beginning with Matthew. Mark contains no narrative about Jesus' birth, while Matthew and Luke each have detailed, but very different, stories. John's account is cosmic and theological. We note how these very different accounts have merged over time into a single popular telling. We also look deeply at the Biblical and literary context of Matthew's account, and are able to situate it as a 1st-century Jewish creation. Fascinating discussion!…
