The weekend brought news of multiple horrifying shootings. On Friday, a shooting in the parking lot of Stewartville High School in southern Minnesota left a student hospitalized in critical condition and the gunman dead. Then, Saturday afternoon a gunman targeted students at Brown University, which killed two people and injured 9 more. And Sunday, here in the U.S. we woke up to news of another mass shooting, this time in Australia. Officials are calling it a terrorist attack. Two gunmen targeted and killed 15 people and injured dozens more at a Hannakuh celebration. Rabbi Adam Stock Spilker is the senior Rabbi at Mount Zion Temple in St. Paul. His son Eiden is a recent Brown University graduate who now works there. He was in the building where the shooting happened over the weekend. Less than 12 hours after the shooting at Brown, the shooting in Australia unfolded. Rabbi Spilker said the shooting half-a-world away still hit home in Minnesota, especially for the Jewish community.
These classes teach the day's section of the weekly Torah portion. The lesson is taught using the original Hebrew text with the indispensable commentary of Rashi—both translated and elucidated so that anyone can follow along.
Rashi's commentary is an indispensable part of a person's daily studies. His explanation of Chumash, the first five books of the Torah, clarifies the "simple" meaning of the text so that a bright child of five could understand it. At the same time, it is the crucial foundation of some of the most profound legal analysis and mystical discourses that came after it.
Among those killed in the Bondi terror attack was a British-born rabbi. Joining us now with reaction from the UK is our correspondent in London Lucy Thomson.

Rabbi Saadia Gaon's sefer Emunot V'Deot (Book of Beliefs and Opinions) innovated the genre of Jewish philosophy. Long before Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi and the Rambam, R. Saadia paved the road for viewing Jewish principles through a lens of classic Greek philosophy, the science of his time, and is justifiably where Jewish philosophy begins. Join Rabbi Daniel Korobkin as he explores this important, monumental work, tracing the differences in approach between R. Saadia and those who came after him.For the original course page please visit https://webyeshiva.org/course/emunot-vdeot-the-first-book-of-jewish-philosophy/
Chapter 12 of Heroes in the Bible: Jesus is inspired by the Gospels. The Good Shepherd - Jesus is faced with a challenge. Does he choose justice and be seen as a tyrant, or does he choose mercy and lose his credibility as a Rabbi? While any other person would have to choose between the two, Jesus does not.

John 11:8 The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?" Remember that twice the Jews had picked up stones to kill Jesus. If left up to the disciples, the decision to return to Judea would have been made based upon natural reasoning, outward circumstances, and history. They were concerned for His welfare and probably their own as well. They would have missed God's will and seeing God's glory. How many times have we done the same? We chose the path of least resistance or the road which offered what looked like a happier and more comfortable outcome. To The Spirit's point through John: that's not how we make decisions as we live to love with Jesus. If we don't make decisions based on our natural reason, outward circumstances and history, then how do we know what to do? Tune in tomorrow to find out.

Late Night Mishmar With Rabbi Reisman: Is There A Third Aspect To Chanuka That we Are Celebrating Besides The Neis Of The Oil and The Neis Of The War?
On October 6, 2023, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik sat at his desk facing a deadline for his monthly column. Israel's citizens were then furiously debating judicial reform, but he'd already had his say on that matter. He decided to write about something else instead: a Jeopardy episode where three educated contestants stared blankly when asked to identify the source of this line: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death." This, among the most famous images in all of Western literature, comes of course from Psalm 23. And none of the contestants knew it. Rabbi Soloveichik submitted the piece on October 6, hours before the festival of Shemini Atzeret. The next morning, October 7, the Jewish people would be thrust into the valley of the shadow of death. T'hillim, as the Psalm are known in Hebrew, would, over the following weeks and months, accompany the Jewish people's every thought. Their distress could be articulated in David's very own words, linking their pain to his pain, their redemptive dreams to his redemptive dreams, their future to his future. In his new podcast, "Poetry and Prayer: A Daily Journey Through the Psalms," Soloveichik walks listeners through all 150 psalms, one by one. For today's episode, he sits down with Jonathan Silver, the editor of Mosaic, to discuss this ambitious project. He puts forward a striking claim in the course of the conversation: the Psalms represent something unprecedented in ancient literature. While Homer or Gilgamesh depict external action—heroic deeds, cosmic battles—the Psalms take their reader (or reciter) inside someone else's soul. The Psalmist explores the full range of human emotion—doubt and faith, despair and joy, rage and delight—all while maintaining an awareness of God's presence. It's the first example in world literature of what the critic Edward Cahill calls "the eye of interiority." When Iranian missiles fell on their cities at 2:00 am one night, Israelis immediately Googled "T'hillim" on their iPhones. An IDF soldier named Yossi Hershkovitz composed a new melody to Psalm 23 while serving in Gaza, and was killed days later—his tune surviving because a comrade taught it to his children. In America, the Psalms shaped the country's founding, from the First Continental Congress reading Psalm 35 to Lincoln quoting from the book in his Second Inaugural. More recently, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a speech in Jerusalem's City of David connecting American exceptionalism to the very site where the Psalms were written.

“Our tendency — like the frog in the pot — is not to notice changes until events reach a boiling point,” says Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch. One overlooked verse in this week's parashah, he says, implores us to “pay attention to the small things before they become big things."
