Shabbat, February 21, 2026 - Parashat Terumah—Building the House of God on earth. How do we build a heavenly footstool for God on earth?

Revelation did not remain at the summit. It was brought down into human life. Now [...]
Shabbat Yitro- Ten Commandments Watch the teaching for Shabbat, Parashat Yitro—often considered the most important Parasha in the Torah—where we receive the Ten Commandments—AKA “The Law”, the foundation of law itself.

Join me this Shabbat Parashat Va’era, which recounts the first seven of the ten plagues in Egypt. The question is often asked: why ten plagues instead of one? One traditional answer is that justice unfolds through a process, through persistence and repeated steps. When the Torah teaches, “Justice, justice, shall you pursue,” the repetition reminds [...]
