  2. Wanderings

    Rabbi Alex Israel | 43 minutes

    When Avraham arrives in the Land of Canaan, despite the promise of a land for him and his descendants, he does not seem to settle down. In the world as it was then, Avraham could not find a home. But his wandering serves another purpose, too: publicizing the name of God.

  3. Parashat Noah: What is Wrong with the Tower of Babel?

    Rabbi Alex Israel | 30 minutes

    What is the problem that God sees in the building of the city and tower of Babel? How is it that the generation of the flood were killed, but the people in the Tower of Babel survived? Why did the people seek to build the town and tower? And if they wanted to reach the heavens, why would they build in a valley? We describe a number of approaches, challenge them, and then come up with a final approach: Is the goal supposed to be merely making a name for man, or to use human strength and talents to promote God’s name?

    Rabbi David Sabato

    The first part of Chapter Three describes the spiritual abundance that will be granted to the entire nation, which comes as a continuation of to the material abundance from the end of Chapter Two. Chapter Three moves on to describe the Day of the Lord, its aftermath, and the salvation that will come to those who call out to God. 

    In Chapter Four the prophet expands and interprets the vision of the Day of the Lord which was described in Chapter Three. The Day of the Lord is described as a day of judgment which will come to the natons of the world as retributon for the harm which they caused to Israel. Calamity befalls the opressors, but those dwelling in Zion are promised security and salvation.

    The study guide includes explanations, guided questions, and an appendix about the Valley of Yehoshafat.

     

     

  10. Why King David Could Not Build the Temple, and When We Should

    Rabbi Menachem Leibtag

    תאריך פרסום: 5777 | | Hour and 8 minutes

    When King David expresses his wish to build the Mikdash, the prophet Natan is enthusiastic. But he returns immediately with a prophetic message that David is not to build it - that David may wish to build a house for God, but God will have to build David a "house" first. Why is this? And who really selects the "place that God chooses?"

    Throughout our study, we will explore different parts of Tanakh that deal with the meaning and purpose of the Temple (mishkan and mikdash, respectively). Who is the Mikdash really for? We consider what it means to build a house for "God's name" and examine the implications of "calling out in God's name." The viability of the Mikdash is intrinsically linked to our ability to "call out in God's name" properly.
