Was listening to Rabbi Shapira's most recent teaching while I was walking today.  An interesting statement was:  We can only "see" the Ruach HaKodesh now, but later we will be completely "filled".  Listen for yourself to the teaching.  It's quite...

Okay, so I need some help here.  I decided to read this next week's Torah portion this morning while everyone else was able to still be sleeping.   In Sh'mot 32, Aharon gathers the gold earrings, etc. and he melted them down and made them into...

I've been absent a few days, but here's something that jumped out at me the other day during my reading time: A little back-story first.  Last fall I invited a few friends to join me weekly for a Bible "discussion".  We just chose something that...

A small excerpt from Psalm 104: " I will sing to Adonai as long as I live, sing praise to my God all my life. May my musings be pleasing to him; I will rejoice in Adonai. May sinners vanish fro the earth  and the wicked be no more! Bless Adonai,...

My daily Bible reading was in 1 Kings 6.  As I'm reading about King Shlomo building the house for Adonai, I am actually smelling it.  Just imagine the aroma of a house where the wall, all the way to the joists were made of cedar!  Can you just...
