Parashat Vayeshev

Dedicated In Memory of Our Nephew Morris Treibitz by Zurrie and Beverly Grazi Parashat Vayeshev The parasha begins with the passuk, “Yaakov settled in the land of his father’s sojournings in the land of Canaan. These are the chronicles of Yaakov: Yosef at the age of seventeen was a shepherd with his brothers by the flock.” The Torah is telling us that Yaacov was looking forward to settling with his family and building Am Yisrael. But Hashem had a different plan for Yaacov, be

Parashat Vayishlach

Dedicated In Honor of My Wife Ilana Parashat Vayishlach Parashat Vayishelah begins with Yaakov leaving Lavan’s house with his wives, children, and livestock. Yaakov sent messengers ahead of him to let Esav know that he lived with Lavan, survived, and prospered. Esav: An Enemy in the Guise of a Brother As Yaakov was on his way departing from Lavan’s house, his messengers returned and informed him that Esav was on his way to meet him with a 400-man army. Yaakov became very dist

Parashat Vayetze

Dedicated In Honor of my wife Shifra Parashat Vayetze At the end of last week’s parasha, we learned that Yaakov received the berachot from Yitzhak, and for this reason his brother Esav wanted to kill him.

Protect Your Head Vayetze, this week’s parasha, begins with Yaakov on the way to Haran. Yaakov stopped off to sleep at the site of what would become t

Parashat Toldot

Dedicated in honor of my wife Sarah by Moey Levy Parashat Toldot At the end of last week’s parasha (24:67), we read “vayikah et rivka vat’hi lo l’isha ve’ye’ehaveha — He (Yitzhak) married Rivka, and she became his wife, and he loved her.” As Jews we know that the Torah is emmet, and we learn from the Torah that today’s society has it backwards. Society dictates that you meet someone, fall in love, then marry them. This order of events contributes to the fact that more than fi

Parashat Hayye Sara

Dedicated In Honor of my wife Sarah Gammal Parashat Hayye Sara Parashat Chaya Sarah starts off with the passuk....."Vaheyu Chaye Sarah Meah Shanah Veesriym Shanah Vesheva Shaniym; Shenei Chaya Sarah". Which means, "Sarah's lifetime was one hundred years, twenty years and seven years; the years of Sarah's life". Don’t Regret Doing the Mitzva Our Rabbis teach us that there was a connection between Sara’s death and akedat Yitzhak. Her death, they explain, was actually the result
