Service to the Community
Sunday, May 21st, 2023As we approach the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai, we have to remember that one the central themes of the Torah is that we are required to be of service to the community. That we are a part of the whole. Share on Facebook
Be The Right Man For the Job
Monday, March 27th, 2023The Torah first tells us what to do and then announces who will be the High Priest. This is to teach us that more important than who is doing the service, that the service should be done correctly. Share on Facebook
Do The Right Thing
Tuesday, March 21st, 2023The Torah gives a lot of rules and laws on the sacrificial service. The reason is to avoid us falling into anarchy and losing sight of what the service is for. Share on Facebook
What is the Tabernacle For
Sunday, March 19th, 2023We finish the Book of Exodus with the completion of the building of the Tabernacle. We start the Book of Leviticus with how to use this building. The use of the building is what makes it special, not its beauty. Share on Facebook
