Unraveling the Future - Mishpatim

The BBC reports that a badly burnt scroll from the Roman town of Herculaneum has been digitally "unwrapped", providing the first look inside it for 2,000 years. The document, which looks like a lump of charcoal, was charred by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79CE and is too fragile to ever be physically opened. Last year, a similar team managed to read about 5% of another Herculaneum scroll. Its subject was Greek Epicurean philosophy, which teaches that fulfilment in life can be found...

The Days of Your Life - Parshat Bo

"A day in the life, a moment of connection with God is a lifetime. Every breath we take is a world of opportunity. Every moment. Time looks like a heartless, relentless march forever forward to our end. As poet William Carlos Williams said, “Time is a storm in which we are all lost.” But is time a rapidly dwindling, limited resource that we must spend frivolously before it’s all gone? Maybe time isn’t a desperate scrabble to use it all up – before we run out of it. The English word ‘moment’ come...

Artists of the Soul

My life as a Jew is brimful of constrictions and restrictions. It is these very restrictions, however, that are the paint and canvas that make the physical world speak in the language of the spirit.

Hope and Optimism - Parshat Vayetze

Yaakov says in Parshat Vayetze, “If God…will give me bread to eat and clothes to wear…” Ostensibly, there is no other reason to have bread than to eat it; no other reason to have clothes than to wear them, so why did Yaakov spell out ‘bread to eat’ and ‘clothes to wear'?

How Long Will the Arabs Rule the World? - Parshat Toldot

If you told someone living a couple of hundred years ago that the Arabs would be a force to threaten Western civilization, they’d have laughed. The thought that a bunch of nomads floating around the desert, like some lost extras from Lawrence Of Arabia, could rule the world, would have seemed preposterous. But יוֹשֵׁ֣ב בַּשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִשְׂחָ֑ק, “He who dwells in the Heavens will laugh.” (Tehillim 2:4) In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in ...

Living on the Crest of the Wave - Noach

There are many times in our life when we know that things will not be as good as they are right now, and nevertheless we should always focus on that wonderful moment that is the present and not become downcast by the thought that it may not, and will not, last forever. Judaism says that we shouldn’t live FOR the moment, but we certainly should live IN the moment.
