While there really is no shortage of seforim on the Parsha, each author brings to his text his insights, his style and his message. Having served as a pulpit rabbi for 32 years has given me the view from the pulpit. Perhaps it is a special feeling for what the audience needs to hear and what they want to hear. Although I had not committed all of my drashos to writing, I retained quite a few in outline format or in Hebrew renditions of these Divrei Torah. At the time that Mr. Avi Shulman, a friend of the family and a man of remark- able insight, suggested that I send out a short Dvar Torah on the Parsha each week by email, the idea of writing a book did not cross my mind. My goal was to present a brief Dvar Torah that would fit on one page with a message which was sharp and to the point.

  • Bereishit (Genesis)
    Issues and Comments The Book of Bereishit (Genesis) Introduction Bereishit Noach Lech Lecha Vayeira Chayei Sarah Toldot Vayeitzei Vayishlach Vayeishev Mikeitz Vayigash Vayechi Haftarot Note: all quotations and comments refer to the interpolated translation unless otherwise indicated. All comments are by Moshe Wisnefsky unless otherwise indicated. Introduction Title: Bereishit Some people questioned the advisability of ending this word with a ‘t’ at the end, because of its negative connotation in secular society. So, we looked at a number of Kehos books (e.g., R’ Schochet’s translations of Likutei Sichot) and found that the use of “Bereishit” was not uncommon. Personally, I thought the whole question was a bit silly, reminded me of being in fourth grade. Here in Israel, sometimes when their teaching kids the 12 pesukim, they change the last word of the one that ends “batachtonim,” because in Modern Hebrew “tachtonim” [also] means “underwear.” But this is for 7-8 year-olds. Hebrew: Double parashiot However, in the Shai LaMora edition, the .שני כשהם מחוברין In most Chumashim, the formula is The Hebrew text file we used came using the second version, so that’s .שני במחוברין formula is what we stuck with. CONCEPTS: The following are some of the specific issues where science and Torah are commonly considered to contradict each other. I have not included spontaneous generation, because (1) the issue is not raised in the written Torah, and (2) it would have unnecessarily made us look totally wacko. CONCEPTS: ARCHEOLOGY: In most cases, it is the lack of archeological attestation of particular event or period that is purported to refute the Torah’s account.

While a growing field of criticism addresses the representation of scriptural stories in painting, sculpture and film, the artwork in this study does not look to the Bible for its subject matter. The intertextual/intermedia comparisons instead address five different genres of biblical literature and read them according to various dynamics found in Modern images. In forming these relationships I challenge traditional perceptions of characters and literary style by allowing an artistic representation or pictorial method to highlight issues of selfhood, gender and power and by revaluing narrative and poetry in nuanced aesthetic terms.

  • Jeremiah Introduction
    Jeremiah Introduction Jeremiah, the 7th century prophet, lived during the tumultuous times that were taking place in the Middle East. The Assyrian Empire was about to crumble before the armies of the Babylonia and Chaldea. Little Judah was under the leadership of King Josiah, and hoped to survive this uncertain political and military scene. There was a renewal of faith in Judah under Josiah which caused the people to be united during his lifetime but upon his death that unity disappeared. In the light of the uncertainty of domination, Egypt sought to gain an advantage by capturing Judah and Jerusalem. However, just as this was about to take place the Egyptians were soundly defeated at the battle of Carchemish. As the Babylonian army marched against Palestine, the city of Jerusalem and the temple were plundered by Babylonian soldiers. A puppet king was established in Palestine. Babylon experienced an internal revolt, resulting in Egypt’s hope to gain control but the Babylonians were able to become firmly established. Jehoahaz (also called Shallum) ruled for three months and then was taken to Egypt by Pharaoh Neco. Jehoiakim (also called Eliakim) reigned for eleven years during which time Judah was a buffer state between the two great powers: Egypt and King Nebuchadnezzar. During this time the current Canaanite religion came into vogue and was practiced by many residents. Zedekiah then reigned for eleven yeas and was taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar as a prisoner. Jehoichin (also called Jeconiah or Coniah) tried to rule, though his rule lasted only three months and he was taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar at the same time that Ezekiel was taken into captivity in Babylon.

  • VAYISHLACH (And He Sent)
    VAYISHLACH (And He Sent) GENESIS (B‟RESHIYT 32:3 – 36:43) INTRODUCTION: 1. Jacob‟s flight from Esau now comes full circle. a. He had left to flee Esau‟s anger and vengeful plan to kill him. b. As Jacob approached Canaan, Esau approached him with a 400 man army. c. However, Isaac was still alive at this time. “And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, „The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.” – Genesis 27:41 2. It seems inevitable that Jacob was going to have to confront Esau in order to enter land. a. Prophetically: Israel under Moses/Joshua had to confront Esau as well as giants. b. To possess the Land (fulfill purpose) requires confronting the obstacles. 3. Also see how and when Jacob became Israel. a. From “hand on heel” to “prince of God.” 4. Some rabbinic writers consider this even to have been a prophetic vision. a. Many see it as symbolic – each person has to struggle with God to become whole. b. In face of crisis, Jacob was left alone with God. 5. Yet, in the haftarah it says: “In the womb he took his brother by the heel [literally occurred], and in his manhood he strove with God. He strove with the angel and prevailed; he wept and sought his favor. He met God at Bethel [literally occurred], and there God spoke with us.” – Hosea 12:3-4 6. Jacob had struggled with men and overcome through persistency, morality and wit.

  • Vayetze HODF 2/8/17 by Beth Mehaffey Vayetze – and He Went
    VaYetze – And He Went Out Genesis 28:10-32:3 (2) This parashah is part of a chiastic structure that runs from Genesis 28:5-37:1; it covers Jacob’s entire exile from the time he leaves his parents in Canaan for Paddan Aram, and returns to the land of Canaan. The central axis is when YHVH enables Jacob to leave Laban and head for Canaan [Genesis 31:1-55 (31:1- 32:1)]. This is approximately the midpoint of our parashah. Instead of comparing and contrasting both halves of this chiasm, we’ll compare with other texts. VaYetze – And He Went Out Jacob Joseph Yeshua Comments Exile, salvation, and marriage Jacob left for Paddan Joseph was sent off by For God did not send Esau’s marriage to Aram; he was sent off his father to check on His Son into the world Mahalath was likely an by his father to find a his brothers.

  • “What the Ladder Reveals” Genesis 28:1-22 So Isaac Called for Jacob and Blessed Him
    May 31, 2020 Pastor Dana Olson “What the Ladder Reveals” Genesis 28:1-22 So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. Then he commanded him: “Do not marry a Canaanite woman. 2 Go at once to Paddan Aram, to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel. Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother. 3 May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples.4 May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham, so that you may take possession of the land where you now reside as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.” 5 Then Isaac sent Jacob on his way, and he went to Paddan Aram,to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, who was the mother of Jacob and Esau. 6 Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan Aram to take a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he commanded him, “Do not marry a Canaanite woman,” 7 and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram. 8 Esau then realized how displeasing the Canaanite women were to his father Isaac; 9 so he went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, in addition to the wives he already had. 10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran. 11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set.

    Vayishlach חלשיו — He sent Genesis 32:3–36:43 3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom, 4 instructing them, “Thus you shall say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob, ‘I have sojourned with Laban and stayed until now. 5 I have oxen, donKeys, flocKs, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, in order that I may find favor in your sight.’” 6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau, and he is coming to meet you, and there are four hundred men with him.” 7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocKs and herds and camels, into two camps, 8 thinKing, “If Esau comes to the one camp and attacKs it, then the camp that is left will escape.” 9 And Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your kindred, that I may do you good,’ 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the deeds of steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps. 11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, that he may come and attack me, the mothers with the children.
