1. Mizmor 30

   Rabbi Avi Baumol

   Mizmor 30 while mentioning the “Dedication of the House” actually refers to emotions, feelings, and movements of the soul. Complacency can cause our metaphorical house to atrophy, and sin can turn our fortress into rubble, leaving our souls susceptible to the dangerous elements we encounter every day of our lives.

2. Mishpatim: Shemitta and Modernity

   Rabbi Jonathan Snowbell | 19 minutes

   We take two pesukim as jumping off points for discussion. We look at the verse introducing the concept of Shemitta (the Sabbatical Year) and ask - how do we relate to Shemitta today? We also examine the verse promising that there will eventually be no more widowhood or sickness in the Land. How do we relate to this statement? How can we look at these concepts in the light of modern technology in a way that elevates our relationship with God?
