Principles of Drash - Document for Daf 45 by Simon Wolf

During the rabbi's sabbatical, every 2nd Shabbat of the month is not recorded so the congregation can have after services an on-site "Nosh & Drash" in which the week's Torah section ("Parashat Ha-Shavu'a") is discussed while we eat together. So – this week, in lieu of a recorded sermon from the service, we offer the pilot episode of an experimental podcast Rabbi Cohen and Beth El's social media team recorded in December 2018. We feel the pilot has genuine value for anyone interested or involved in Two Testament Judaism. We hope you enjoy it, and pray you are nourished by it. Shalom!

Uncover the depths of Yetzias Mitzrayim, not merely as an ancient tale but as a present-day compass for meaningful living. Rabbi Sklare, with roots deeply planted in Baltimore's Jewish soil, shares an intellectual and heartfelt narrative that breathes new life into our understanding of the sacred texts.

The discussion illuminates the art of creative Drash, where every learner is an empowered participant in the conversation with the divine. This method isn't just about imparting wisdom to others; it's about crafting a personal bond with Hashem, an endeavor as thrilling as it is sacred, especially when approached through the theme of Yetzias Mitzrayim.Our conversation with Rabbi  Sklare culminates in a call to personalize our Jewish heritage, making it a vibrant and relevant part of our daily lives. We discuss the indispensable role of Camelot and the intense effort in Torah study, which leads to personal growth and enriched faith.

This episode of Season 2 of 'A Dram and a Drash' departs from the normal format as we take some time with members of my family (my brother-in-law and sister-in-law) who both do remarkable work in Israel. In this episode we start with the 'drash' and reflect on the experience inside Israel since October 7, 2023. This episode was recorded on Friday, December 22, shortly before Shabbat in Israel. And so we ended with the 'dram' - a L'Chaim  with a hope and a prayer for better times ahead.Read Shlomo's blog at https://timnovate.com/Find Shlomo's Jerusalem Report articles at https://www.jpost.com/jerusalem-reportLearn more about me and A Dram and a Drash

The Torah spotlights Rivkah's virginity in a strange way, but what's REALLY strange is the wild midrash about how Yitzchak assumed she LOST her virginity. As a friend of mine quipped, "This one isn't in The Little Midrash Says."-----This week's Torah content has been sponsored anonymously in the hope that we will hear less sad news about things we can't control and learn more Torah to bring about change in ourselves, and in those aspects of the world which we can control.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

Rashi (Devarim 27:24) quotes Rav Moshe Hadarshan who explains that Moshe only said 11 curses because he didn't want to curse Shimon because he wasn't going to bless him (due to his sins) in Zos Habracha. We raised a few serious problems: (1) There are actually 12 curses, not 11? (2) Not wanting to bless him is a reason to curse him, not to omit his curse? (3) The curses aren't addressing any shevatim but people who sin? In this episode, we address these questions and discuss the role of Drash.

Sermon Notes: Mark 13:1-36 2 Kings 22:1-11 1 Peter 2:9 Implications: be so faithful to your Kingdom work that no accounting is required. As a priest, your job is to tell the world what your God is like. As a priest, your job is to help connect people to your God

Rob deals with a parable about some exceedingly ill-mannered farmers from Mark 12 this week. Sermon Notes: Mark 12:1-12 Romans 11:17-21 Genesis 22 Psalm 118:19-26 Isaiah 5:1-7 Implications: - God expects fruit from those who serve Him. - Some spend all their time fightting God instead of producing fruit - Jesus is saying religious people will miss what God is doing around them. Are you that person? - God is expecting the religious practice of his people to produce justice and righteousness. What are your religious practices producing?

The parable this week might simply address what Jesus thinks about washing his hands...or, maybe he is talking about a deeper type of clean. Sermon Notes: Mark 7:1-23 Judges 14:8-9 Proverbs 4:23-27 Jeremiah 17:9-10 *Implication: * While everyone around you is judging by your outward appearance, God considers your heart.

God's kingdom grows. Jesus foreshadows this reality, and more importantly, tells us how to recognize His Kingdom is growing. Sermon Notes: Mark 4:26-34 Daniel 4:19-37 Implications: - God is the one who causes his Kingdom to grow. - There are those who believe they can stop God's Kingdom... they are wrong. - God's Kingdom is counterintuitive. - God's Kingdom blesses even those who oppose the Kingdom. - In a world where everyone is clamoring for power, living for God's Kingdom is true strength.

Jesus often told parables with no explanation of what they meant. Then there are the times Jesus explained what his parable meant… and we still have to dig into them to find illumination. This week we are talking soil and light. *Sermon Notes: * Mark 4:1-25 Isaiah 55:10-11 Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Implications: 1. Tend your soil. 2. God will reveal what type of soil you are.

Rabbi Dr. Denise Handlarski is Rabbi of the online Humanistic Judaism community, Secular SynagogueLast year she convened a conference called Gathering to bring together the best research and practical examples of how Jewish community engagement can better address the loneliness epidemic.You can learn more about Denise hereIn this episode, our dram is Laphroaig (Quarter cask and 10 year). In our drash, Denise introduces us to Humanistic Judaism and the way that she has created genuine connection and a sense of belonging with her online community. She has wisdom to share for community leaders, and for all those who are looking for that sense of belonging within Jewish community.Learn more about me and A Dram and a Drash

Jesus said "if a house is divided against itself, it will not stand." This parable is connected to at least two Old Testament stories. We will explore those stories along with the parable as we continue our journey through the 10 parables found in the Gospel of Mark. Sermon Notes: Mark 3:22-27 1 Kings 12:1-16 Judges16:4-17 Implications: - Unity thrives off humility. How well you keep your pride in check will determine your ability to foster a healthy home, church, and community. - Unity thrives off self-control. If you are ruled by your desires, your relationships will suffer. - Your pride and uncontrolled desires will impede your ability to experience Jesus.

John Mark, a disciple of Jesus, had a unique message for new Roman believers. What was that message, and how should the stories of Jesus he chronicled shape our lives today? Sermon Notes: Mark 2:18-22, Joshua 9:3-14, Ephesians 4:22-24 Mark 14:22-24 Implications: - Seek the Lord's council when you faswt. - Don't miss who Jesus is! - Jesus is not just a patch (add on) to fix your life. - When you come to Jesus, you must be willing to take in everything He has for you. PaRDeS: P'shat – Surface. The truth that is found on a p'shat level can be incredibly profound and profoundly applied. Remez – Hints. The rabbi has hidden a special treasure that is unlocked with a familiarity of the Text. Drash – Inquire or Seek. Drash is the idea of truth hidden in story. Once a student has found the hint in the Text, they are given tools that are going to help them unlock and understand the deeper meanings of the rabbi's teaching. It should be noted here that the remez in a teaching is always up for debate. Sod – Secret or Mystery. Sod is connected to mystery and cannot be learned or taught. Sod is a supernatural gift from God (or we might even say the Holy Spirit). An example of this is Peter's great confession (Matthew 16) where Jesus remarks that “man has not revealed this to you, but only my Father who is in Heaven.”

Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 2-page article I wrote, entitled, An Etymological Drash from Rav Hirsch on Jewish vs. Pagan Priests. Yes, this is a TWO page article (as opposed to the usual one page article). Yes, this is on LAST week's parashah (Mikeitz) rather than this week's parashah (Vayigash). But when I saw this comment from Rav Hirsch, I simply NEEDED to write a piece about it, and this is what I ended up writing. -----This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Sarah in celebration of the marriage of Rivkie and Dovi Siderson.

The World of Drash! in Growth by Rabbi Daniel Kalish

Rabbi Kalish

The Talmud teaches that comedy works in threes. For the third time, we've got an episode based not on my Rear Pew Mirror humor column, but on my actual yes-they-let-me sermon from Thanksgiving, Shabbat Yom Turkey (November 26, 2022). Once again, lightning didn't strike and the synagogue's insurance coverage remains intact. It's about Thanksgiving. It's about the Torah reading that week, Toldot, from the birth of Jacob and Esau through Jacob's fleeing after taking the birthright and blessing of the first born. It's about multiple meanings, the space between sides, and using things responsibly. It's about the commentary of an Eighteenth Century rabbi from Venice who actively used wordplay and didn't wear a kippah. It's just a bit about Star Trek, Billy Joel, Victor Borge, and the Alabama Crimson Tide. It's about twenty-eight minutes. Confused? You won't be after this episode of the Rear Pew Mirror podcast. Rear Pew Mirror is the longtime humor column in Southern Jewish Life magazine (sjlmag.com), though by contractual stipulation you can't hold it against them. #JewishHumor #Thanksgiving #RearPewMirror #YomTurkey #Toldot #Patriarchs #Matriarchs #MosheChafetz

How can you tap into your dream world to discover the messages from your soul and unconscious? Linda Yael Schiller joins us for a deep dive into how to work with your dreams. In episode 164: Dream circles; Journaling your dreams; Tips on how to remember your dream; Positional memory; Dream interpretation; The Pardes Method of dream interpretation; Dream dictionaries; Premonition dreams; Messages from your soul... and more... The Pardes Method of dream interpretation: P'shat means simple, the first layer, the dream as dreamt. Remez is the hinted at layer containing our 1st associations. Drash is from the word lidrosh which means to pursue or chase after, and this is the reveled layer we get to after working to unpack the dream material using multiple methods. Sod means secret or mystical, and it the transpersonal, mystical layer that may contains spiritual connections, visit from the beyond, and/or dream messages not only for oneself, but for our world and our ancestors.
