The Torah often employs a “bookending” technique, using similar words or phrases in both the first and last verses of the parashah, in order to create a thematic frame for the action in the middle. Parashat Vayishlah’s bookends are especially pronounced, in that its first and last verses each end with the same word: “אדום - Edom.” What is the signi…

What, if anything, can we say in the wake of the Shoah? In this series, we'll explore the main currents of post-Holocaust Jewish theology through thinkers like Richard Rubenstein, Eliezer Berkovits, Yitz Greenberg, Emil Fackenheim, and Melissa Raphael; and we'll investigate how philosophers of religion grapple with the problem of evil. But rather t…

It can be hard to say thank you. I know, for myself, sometimes after abandoning the kitchen at night to a sinkful of dishes and a couch covered in clothes waiting to be folded, I wake up in the morning to a clean sink and folded clothes, and I find myself so grateful to my wife’s midnight work. Obviously, I should say thank you and I owe her more t…

What happens in a beit midrash during a time of war, violence, and uncertainty? We checked in with R. Avital Hochstein and R. Elazar Symon, both members of Hadar's team in Jerusalem, to discuss what learning Torah means in this difficult time and what this war reveals about Israeli society.De către Hadar Institute

By the time we arrive at Parashat Toldot and come upon two brothers vying for the mantle of family leadership, we can already predict with some confidence that it is the younger brother who will prevail. If we have been reading Genesis carefully so far, we know: in this book, when brothers are in competition, the firstborn never wins.…

WE DID IT! We've made it to the end of Dragonball Z! It took us longer than we expected and for some (Jordy) it felt like even longer. If you've come along on this journey with us thank you and congratulations. It's a massive undertaking to consume this series in it's entirety without nostalgia behind the wheel... but this is a dead horse that we'v…

Animals often play a symbolic role in literature, sometimes as personified characters themselves, and sometimes through their frequent association with a human character. In Parashat Hayyei Sarah, wherever Rebecca goes, camels seem to follow her—and we begin to understand they have something to do with her. They will function as the vehicle for fin…

This week it's Mashle: Magic and Muscles! This show really lays out its two simple elements in the title. They took two simple ideas and MASHED them together (see what I did there?).

In our society, everything - from commercials products to political ideas - is constantly being scrutinized. What is gained and what is lost in such a critical world? To answer this question, he Ma'or VaShemesh goes all the way back to the beginning - to the Garden of Eden. "Ki Anu Amecha" and "Nigun Hisva'adus" from RAZA Kapelya (2023) by Chana Ra…

The Talmud (in Yevamot 49b) tells us that Moses’ prophetic powers were exceptional because he saw “באספקלריא המאירה - through a clear looking glass.” How, then, do we account for ambiguity in the Torah? When we encounter a passage whose meaning is obscure, do we presume some failure in our own understanding? Or is it possible that the Torah of Mose…

Avital Hochstein is a rabbi, a Jerusalemite, a mother of two soldiers currently serving in the IDF, and President of Hadar in Israel. In this episode of Ta Shma, we hear directly from R. Avital and Hadar's beit midrash in Jerusalem. What parts of Torah can we reach for? How can we pray and what can we pray for? What does ritual and communal life lo…

Moral licensing is our tendency to excuse our own bad behavior based on prior good behavior. While the Ma’or VaShemesh did not use the language of modern behavioral psychology, he did suggest a paradoxical way to avoid this kind of self-justification: doing teshuvah both before and after learning Torah and performing mitzvot. "Ki Anu Amecha," "Ah S…

Our practice of cycling through the Torah over and over again, year after year, creates a unique reading experience. After we have been through enough times, we begin to hear echoes not only from what has come before, but from what will come after. Here in this first chapter of Abraham’s story those echoes are particularly loud. We hear them not on…

Taking a vow is a serious halakhic undertaking, and Rabbinic law warns us against taking them hastily. But even if a voew is ultimately annulled, it's possible that for the vow - the words we saw when we feel the most desperate - to be part of a broader process of growth and change. The Ma'or Va'Shemesh explains. "Ki Anu Amecha," "Ah Shtarker Bistu…
