How do children learn to understand and regulate the emotions? In this episode, I sit down with professor and psychologist Kristen Lindquist to explore how kids develop the ability to recognize, label, and regulate their emotions. We talk about the power of language in shaping emotional growth, the fine line between validating feelings and overwhelming kids with labels, and how temperament plays a role in emotional development.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

We pause our series on "malaki" to present the important context of Israel's idolatry at the foot of Sinai in the incident of the golden calf. As Jenny and I studied this issue over the past several months we began to understand something important that has ramifications for both the Old and New Testament scripture, and all of Christian history and practice ever since. Either God is God, or ... He is not With our Transcendent GOD – Being, Truth and Value – there can be NO COMPROMISE We are the "neo-Fundies," unashamed and proudly proclaiming God's Word as Truth, Life and Light!

Anti-Semitism is not merely another form of bigotry or racial hatred—it is unique in its universality, its persistence throughout history, and its deep, irrational roots. From Pharaoh to Hitler, from ancient Persia to modern-day university campuses, the Jew has been targeted with a singular, unparalleled intensity. Why? What makes this hatred different from all other hatreds?This class delves into the core of Jew-hatred, exploring its historical patterns and its spiritual roots. The Talmudic parable of the "mound and the ditch" reveals that anti-Semitism is not simply about economics, politics, or cultural tensions—it is about something much deeper. The world has an innate reaction to the presence of the Jew, a reaction that stems from the unique role that the Jewish people play in history as the bearers of Divine morality.Through the lens of Torah, the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and a contemporary analysis of world events—including the resurgence of anti-Semitism post-October 7, 2023—this class seeks to answer the unanswerable: Why does the world hate the Jew? And, more importantly, how should we respond?Key Takeaways:A Hatred Like No Other – Anti-Semitism has persisted for thousands of years across all cultures and ideologies, defying conventional explanations.The "Mound and the Ditch" Paradigm – The Talmud describes two types of anti-Semites: those who see Jews as an unwanted obstacle and those who feel an existential void because of Jewish morality.The Sinai Connection – The world's rejection of Jewish existence is linked to our mission as bearers of Divine ethics, which some embrace and others resent.Appeasement Does Not Work – History has proven that trying to minimize or hide Jewish identity never quells anti-Semitism; it often exacerbates it.The Jewish Response – Strengthening our connection to G-d, embracing Torah and mitzvot, and standing firm in Jewish pride is the only true antidote to anti-Semitism.#Antisemitism #Judaism #Purim #JewishHistory #Haman #Rebbe #habad #chabad #Jewishsurvival #Talmud #Jewish #MoralCourage #MoralResponsibility #JewishIdentity Eye-Opening Moments PodcastEye-Opening Moments are stories of adversity, encounters, and perspectives.

A mere 40 days after the exultant, euphoric, transcendental Revelation at Sinai, the nation stoops to a very low nadir: they make a golden calf and begin to worship it. Most surprisingly, a central participant in this debacle was none other than Aaron the high priest. Why would Aaron, one of our nation's greatest men, agree to participate in the deification of a golden calf? By pondering this mystery we will discover both an answer to this puzzling question and a wonderful insight into the nature of reality, and how our perception of reality and the truth may be very different.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

On June 8, 1967, Egypt's most famous radio broadcaster, Ahmed Said, reported that Egyptian, Syrian, and Jordanian forces had defeated the Israeli army in the Sinai, had hobbled their British and US allies, and were liberating Palestine. It was a lie. For the rest of his life, populations in the Middle East vilified Said for his duplicity. However, the truth was that, by 1967, all the world's major broadcasters to the Middle East were dissimulating on the air. For two decades, British, Soviet, American, and Egyptian radio voices created an audio world characterized by deceit and betrayal. In Frequencies of Deceit: How Global Propaganda Wars Shaped the Middle East (University of California Press, 2025), Dr. Margaret Peacock traces the history of deception and propaganda in Middle Eastern international radio. Dr. Peacock makes the compelling argument that this betrayal contributed to the loss of faith in Western and secular state-led political solutions for many in the Arab world, laying the groundwork for the rise of political Islam. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

March 5 "I Am" Exodus 3:14, Mark 6:50 & John 8:48-58"I Am" is God's name that He gave Moses on Mt. Sinai, but it's also a name that Jesus claimed for himself in the Gospels to help us more fully understand who He is.Ash Wednesday"I Am"Lent is the season of preparation for Easter, a time to reflect deeply on Jesus- his identity, teachings, and death on the cross—so we can fully understand and celebrate His resurrection. This year, we will focus on the "I am" statements in the Gospel of John. While all four Gospels include instances where Jesus uses the Greek phrase "ego eimi," meaning "I am," John's Gospel records Jesus doing so over 30 times, more than twice the other Gospels combined. Among these, seven instances feature profound metaphors that Jesus used to describe Himself. Throughout Lent, we will explore these seven metaphors, gaining a deeper and richer understanding of who Jesus was and is.Orchard Community Church8180 Telephone RdVentura CA 93004www.OrchardVentura.orgContact us at Info@OrchardVentura.orgOrchard's Streaming and Song Select CCLI# 160190
Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
A person should hear the reading of Parashat Zachor on the Shabbat before Purim from a person who reads according to his tradition. Meaning, a Sepharadi should hear Parashat Zachor read by a Sepharadi, and an Ashkenazi should hear it read by an Ashkenazi. If a Sepharadi normally prays in an Ashkenazic Minyan, he should make a point to attend a Sephardic Minyan for the reading of Parashat Zachor, and vice versa. There are several differences in pronunciation between the Sepharadim and Ashkenazim, such as the pronunciation of the Kamatz vowel. Sepharadim pronounce the Kamatz as a Patah, and thus, for example, they pronounce God's Name as "Ado-NAI." Ashkenazim, however, pronounce the Name as "Ado-NOI." All year round, Halacha allows one to hear the Torah read according to a different custom, but since the reading of Parashat Zachor constitutes a Torah obligation, one should ensure to hear the reading pronounced according to his tradition. Indeed, the Hazon Ish (Rabbi Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz, 1879-1954) wrote a letter declaring that an Ashkenazi cannot fulfill the Misva of Zachor by hearing the section read by a Sepharadi. It must be emphasized that both traditions regarding Hebrew pronunciation are valid and have ancient roots. This is not a question of which is correct and which is incorrect; rather, "Elu Ve'elu Dibreh Elokim Hayim" – both customs are legitimate are grounded in ancient Torah tradition. Sepharadim and Ashkenazim should follow their respective customs, and when it comes to Shabbat Zachor, every person should ensure to hear the reading from somebody who reads according to his family tradition. Surprisingly, the Steipler Gaon (Rabbi Yisrael Yaakov Kanievsky, 1899-1985) wrote a letter asserting that the Sephardic pronunciation of the Kamatz is erroneous, and thus Sepharadim never recite Hashem's Name properly and never fulfill the Misvot involving Berachot and the like. Needless to say, it is quite astonishing to claim that all Sepharadim never properly fulfill these Misvot. Indeed, Rabbi Mazuz wrote a lengthy responsum refuting the Steipler Gaon's contention, and expressing his astonishment that somebody would advance such a claim. He cites numerous sources proving that Sepharadim have always pronounced a Kamatz as a Patah, and that this tradition is many centuries old. For example, Rabbi Shelomo Ibn Gabirol, in his rhyming Azharot hymn, writes, "Anochi Ado-nai, Keraticha Be-Sinai." He clearly intended for Hashem's Name to rhyme with "Sinai," even though the final vowel in Hashem's Name is a Kamatz, and the final vowel of "Sinai" is a Patah. This proves that he pronounced the two vowels identically. Similarly, Rabbi Yehuda Halevi wrote in the "Mi Kamocha Ve'en Kamocha" hymn which we sing on Shabbat Zachor, "Bi'ymeh Horpi Mi'kadmonai, Bi Diber Ru'ah Ado-nai." The word "Mi'kadmonai" – which ends with the Patah sound – is used to rhyme with Hashem's Name. Likewise, in the famous "Sur Mi'shelo" hymn which we sing on Shabbat, the word "Emunai" – which ends with a Patah vowel – is used to rhyme with Hashem's Name ("Sur Mi'shelo Achalnu Barechu Emunai, Sabanu Ve'hotarnu Ki'dbar Adon-nai"). These and other examples clearly testify to an ancient Sephardic tradition to pronounce the Kamatz as a Patah. In his responsum, Rabbi Mazuz expresses his dismay that an Ashkenazic Sage would protest against Sephardic pronunciation, rather than addressing the problems that arise from the conventional Ashkenazic pronunciation. Ashkenazim generally make no distinction in their pronunciation between an "Ayin" and an "Alef," which yields very problematic results when pronouncing verses like, "Va'abatetem Et Hashem" ("You shall serve God"). If one pronounces the "Ayin" in "Va'abatetem" as an "Alef," then he ends up saying, "You shall eradicate God," Heaven forbid. This is a far graver concern than pronouncing Hashem's Name as "Ado-nai" in accordance with a longstanding Sephardic tradition. Furthermore, Rabbi Mazuz notes, there were several great Ashkenazic Sages who adopted the Sephardic pronunciation because they felt it was more authentic. The Arizal (Rabbi Yishak Luria of Safed, 1534-1572), for example, was an Ashkenazi, and yet he adopted the Sephardic pronunciation and prayer text. And it is told that Rabbi Natan Adler of Pressburg (the teacher of the Hatam Sofer) hired Rabbi Haim Moda'i of Turkey, a Sepharadi, to teach him Sephardic pronunciation. Thus, as mentioned, both traditions are valid, and everyone should use the pronunciation followed by his family's tradition. Summary: A Sepharadi should ensure to hear Parashat Zachor read in Sephardic pronunciation, and an Ashkenazi should ensure to hear Parashat Zachor read in Ashkenazic pronunciation.

Although it seems that we live in a world filled with tragedy, especially as we hear about events in the Middle East, there are still so many people there doing good in the world. In today's show, Lisa interviews Ora and Ihab Balha, a Jewish and Muslim couple living in Isreal who exemplify love, despite the extreme conflicts in which they are living. Together they co-founded “The Orchard of Abraham's Children'' nonprofit organization, a holistic educational and communal organization dedicated to transforming Jewish-Arab relations for a shared future, as well as the “Human First Community Center” in Jaffa, Israel. Ihab Balha explains as a Muslim man how he was challenged to a fight by a Jewish man who came running into a restaurant screaming hateful words toward Arabs. They got into a physical fight. Frequently this many would run into this restaurant shouting the same words and fighting with men there. Eventually Ihab decided to wait for him and attacked him outside. The Jewish man was surprised and said how they should schedule the next fight and invited him to fight at his home. Ihab talks about how they scheduled it, and when he arrived at the man's house, the man broke down about his wife leaving him. This led to a conversation about the importance of love and human connection. Together they talked about relationships and spoke from their hearts. They continued to meet, to talk, and to express their fears and anger. Slowly more Jewish people and Muslim people began to gather with them, just to talk. They decided to have a meeting in the Holy Land between the Israeli and Palestinian people. They were anticipating approximately 10 people. More than 300 showed up. They invited people from various religions including priests, Sufis, and rabbis. One man talked about his daughter being killed by an Israeli soldier. Another person talked about how a Palestinian man killed his son. Together they cried and shared their pain. Afterwards they hugged each other. At the second meeting, more than 1000 people came and for the third meeting, more than 5,000 people of various religions attended. This was essentially the biggest peace project in Israel. They did not talk about politics – instead they talked about being Jewish, Muslim, and Christian. They built bridges. Ora Balha talks about how she met Ihab when she was visiting the Sinai desert in Egypt. They saw each other and immediately fell in love. Even though Ora is Jewish and Ihab is Muslim, they talk about how love “took” them. It took over. They had to rise above cultural and societal differences. Ora moved in with Ihab in Jaffa. Because of the difficulties, they couldn't share this with anyone, including their families. When Ora first met Ihab's father, it was especially challenging. Their families could not get over their prejudices, but every time they met, Ora and Ihab would express only love. Finally, after a struggle of several years, their families accepted one another. It took time, but Ora and Ihab stayed true to their love. They also talked about the importance of choosing love. Even if you are afraid, when you choose love, people can see that and then reflect it. They also discuss what happened when they had their son and how they educated him. He learned both Hebrew and Arabic at home. They celebrated all of each other's holidays. When it came time to send him to kindergarten, they couldn't find a school that was teaching what they were at home, so they decided to start a kindergarten. They were young and didn't think about the future as much, so they started a very small school in Ihab's father's yard. Two children joined. They brought in both a Jewish teacher and a Muslim teacher. The community started to hear about them. In the beginning, it was hard, but slowly more children joined. By the end of the first year, 16 children were involved. They opened a second group the following year and a third group by the third year. Currently they now have nine kindergartens, an elementary school, and a community center which focuses on adults. It offers music and activities. They have more than 100 staff members. The schools are mainly in Jaffa and Galilee, but they have other teacher training programs. They also talked about the many challenges. There is so much fear and anger, resulting in separation. Ihab talks about how you must always be aware. It's not easy for people to change. People are stuck with their past ideology. They live in their minds, and they forget about their hearts and what connections them. People feel stuck so they argue and fight. Ora and Ihab are trying to express something new, something from their hearts. They learned to listen to one another. This is a dynamic movement. They invite people to remember that we are human first. God chooses all of us. We complete each other. Info: www.orchardofabrahamschildren.org
This 2/16/25 sermon by Michael Gowens continues the narrative of Elijah's despondency in 1 Kings 19. God is very kind and gentle with his weary servant, giving him a fresh revelation of Himself to encourage him on his way. This is message #12 in the Elijah series.

In this episode we sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Caroline Fleck to talk about the power of validation—what it really means, why it's so important, and how we can use it to strengthen our relationships with our kids, others, and even ourselves. Dr. Caroline Fleck breaks down the science behind validation, shares practical tools from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and clears up common misconceptions—like how to validate without reinforcing bad behavior. She also opens up about her own deeply personal experience with validation and repair in parenting.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

We sit with Dr. Rebecca Idestrom to discuss the themes of her latest book, Show Me Your Glory, which explores the concept of God's glory throughout the Old Testament. Dr. Idestrom explains how the notion of "glory" is multifaceted and context-dependent, involving both tangible and intangible elements of God's presence and character. We also talk about how Israel's perception of God's glory evolved across different historical and physical contexts.

By the end of our reading Moses will have spent 40 days on Mt. Sinai, and in that amount of time, the Israelites will have given up on Moses and on the Lord. Not long beforehand, the nation of Israel had promised that they would do all that the Lord had commanded, but in short order, they turn away from God. They instead turn to Aaron, who caves to the crowd's demands, making them a golden calf for them to worship. The Lord's anger burns against Israel, but Moses steps in as a redeemer for his people, interceding on their behalf. Before we get to that part of the narrative, we first return where we left off as God gives further instruction about worship in the tabernacle.Exodus 30 - 1:02 . Exodus 31 - 7:56 .

In this Bible Study, we go verse by verse through Leviticus chapter 2. We unpack the multiple types of prepared Grain offerings instructed by God for the Israelites to make. We also take a deep look at Leaven / Yeast in the Bible as well as why salt was always to be included in the grain offering. Finally, as always, we conclude with an application of this text for our lives today. Join us as we dig deep into scripture!Outline: 03:28 - Background explanation05:25 - “Grain Offering” - Hebrew word study - Minḥâ מִנְחָה (gift), (offering) - it is a gift to the Lord.Gen 32-33 - we see Jacob reunited with his brother Esau Gen 43.11 - gifts for Joseph in Egypt. Same word. 07:03 - A portion was burned on the altar - the rest went to the priest for their food. 1 Cor 9.13-14, Deut 25.410:14 - support the work of Iron Sheep Ministries - Mail your gift to 4300 Route 50, Suite 105, Saratoga Springs NY 12866Or give online at -www.ironsheep.org/donate11:38 - Grain Offerings were often offered with other sacrifices Lev 9.4“grain offering” occurs 93x in NIV - 29x Lev, 44x Num. (21x Num 28-29). Those two chapters summarize offerings to be made daily, weekly, monthly, and at annual festivals (Passover, Day of Atonement, Festival of Weeks, etc). 13:08 - 5 different types of grain offerings in Lev 2Lev 2.1-3 - 1 - uncooked - includes incense (niv) - KJV, AMP, CSB, ESV - “Frankincense”13:57 - What is Frankincense? It is a dried resin from the Boswellia tree (native to the Sinai peninsula). It is a key ingredient in incense. Used throughout the ancient Near East as part of burnt sacrifices. Mat 2.11 it was a gift brought from the Magi, which symbolized Jesus' future sacrifice he would become on the altar for our atonement of sin.15:47 - Lev 2.4 - 2 baked in an oven - thin or thick loaves Lev 2.5-6 - 3 cooked on a griddleLev 2.7 - 4 cooked in a pan16:14 - Lev 2.11-12- no yeast (leaven) or honey? 16:46 - Topical look at Yeast (leaven) in the Bible. “Yeast” occurs 57 times in the NIV; 10 in the New Testament and 47 in the Old Testament. In OT yeast is always literal and related to cooking in bread.Gen 19.3 - Lot makes bread without yeastExo 12-13 - God's instructions on the Passover meal. They had no time to let the yeast rise. Deu 16:3.Lev 7.13 & Lev 23.17 - both are instances of bread made with yeast.In the New Testament, yeast is always figurative, sometimes good and sometimes bad.Matt 13.33, & Luke 13.20-21, yeast represents the Kingdom of HeavenMatt 16.5-12; (Mrk 8.14-21) yeast represents sin, specifically hypocrisy (Luke 12.1)Gal 5.9 - yeast is false teaching 1 Cor 5.6-7 - yeast is sin, malice & wickedness28:02 - Lev 2.13 - what is the “salt of the covenant of your God” Salt is a preservative and a flavor enhancer. Salt was added to all the offerings as a reminder that the offerings were a preservative of the covenant. Salt is also a picture of how we are to be as Christians. Read Matthew 5.13, where Jesus calls us to be the Salt of the Earth.31:15 - Lev 2.14-16 - Firstfruits - What are first fruits? 1 Cor 15.19-2134:17 - Conclusion and Application. 1 Thes 5.16-18; John 6.29-35.

The Sinai Revelation was a mass testimony of faith. The only event of its kind saw God revealing Himself to a nation comprised of millions, who heard and experienced prophecy and lived to tell their children about it. The founding event of our religion is historically unchallengeable and completely unprecedented: There is no other religion that even claims to have a National Revelation at its founding. In this TORAH 101 podcast, we study the introduction of Sefer HaChinuch to learn about the mechanism of believing history, the primacy of tradition over scientific and empirical analysis, and how we can have confidence that our religion - unlike other religions - is based on an airtight historical - verified and incontrovertible - Nation Revelation.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Why Is the Media Demoralizing Us Instead of Rallying Us to Victory? As Hamas released our kidnapped civilians, they blasted songs celebrating “killing and butchering” them. So reveals Tamar's guest, Mudar Zahran, a Jordanian Arab and head of Jordan's Opposition Coalition. Zahran warns that Israel's leadership is too restrained and must deal with terrorists far more aggressively. Key topics: * The hostage deal—did Israel just empower Hamas? * Trump's warning: Is all hell about to break loose? * Should Jordan and Egypt take in Gaza's Arabs? * Egypt's illegal military buildup in Sinai—are they preparing for war? Which country may be behind it? * If Mudar rises to the helm in Jordan, he says he will NOT bring Democracy, ...and that's how there would be peace! How and why? Hear his intriguing answer!

The narrative presented in this episode intricately weaves together the theological significance of Pentecost with the historical legacy of Israel's covenant relationship with God. It posits that the event of Pentecost is not merely an isolated occurrence but is deeply rooted in the Old Testament's rich tapestry of divine communication. The teachings of Glenn Bleakney are pivotal in this discussion, as they illuminate how God has consistently sought to foster a direct relationship with humanity. The episode articulates that the arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost serves as a fulfillment of God's long-standing desire for communion, echoing the initial interactions between God and the Israelites at Sinai, where He spoke directly to His people.Listeners are invited to contemplate the implications of the Israelites' decision to distance themselves from God's immediate presence due to fear, leading to a reliance on intermediaries such as Moses. This reliance on human mediators is contrasted with the transformative access to God granted through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The discourse emphasizes that Jesus' ministry was a preparatory phase, equipping His disciples to receive the Holy Spirit, thereby restoring the possibility of direct engagement with the Divine. Ultimately, the episode encourages a re-evaluation of the traditional understanding of spiritual gifts and the role of the Holy Spirit, advocating for a perspective that sees the Spirit as integral to every aspect of life, fostering empowerment, purpose, and connection to God's overarching plan.Takeaways: In this episode, we explore the profound teachings of Glenn Bleakney regarding Pentecost, emphasizing its significance in the broader narrative of divine communication. Bleakney articulates that Pentecost represents not merely a New Testament phenomenon but rather the culmination of God's enduring plan for direct communion with humanity. The discussion reveals that the Holy Spirit serves as the essential conduit for believers to access the intimate presence of God, akin to the experiences of the high priests in the Holy of Holies. We examine how John the Baptist's role was pivotal in preparing the way for Jesus, highlighting the necessity of repentance for aligning with God's divine will and intention. Bleakney provides an enlightening perspective that suggests the Holy Spirit's presence today enables believers to experience a transformative relationship with God, transcending mere intellectual understanding. The episode concludes with an invitation to delve deeper into these themes through the Kingdom Reformation community, fostering a collective journey towards greater spiritual intimacy and empowerment.

In this powerful exploration of Exodus 19, we dive deep into the story of God's people at Mount Sinai. This pivotal moment in biblical history isn't just about laws and commandments - it's about identity and purpose. We learn that God freed the Israelites from Egypt not just to rescue them, but to bring them to Himself. This idea of being 'brought to God' resonates deeply with our own spiritual journeys. Just as God called the Israelites His 'treasured possession', we too are valued beyond measure. The concept of being God's 'segula' - His special treasure - challenges us to see ourselves through His eyes and to live out our calling as His representatives in the world. This message invites us to reflect on our own purpose and identity in Christ, reminding us that our value comes not from what we do, but from whose we are.

This week's learning is sponsored by Ruth Rotenberg in loving memory of their eldest daughter Tanielle Gavre"ea Margalit on her 20th yahrzeit. "Hashem gifted us a beautiful neshama for 18 years. She remarkably accomplished so much, and so many continue to carry her passions and deeds." Today's daf is sponsored by Miki Kadosh in loving memory of her father, Daniel ben Avraham. Today's daf is sponsored by Judy Schwartz in loving memory of her mother Shirley K. Tydor, Sarah Raizel Bat Mordechai Yitzchak and Freida Sima, and her grandmother, Esther bat Sinai and Chaya. "My beloved mother had the zechut of living in Israel, my beloved grandmother, who I never knew, died of typhus in the Lodz ghetto. May their memories be a blessing." Today's daf is dedicated in memory of Ariel and Kfir Bibas, and Oded Lifshitz, and pray for the safe return of Ariel and Kfir's mother, Shiri. Our hearts are with the families. One who desecrates Shabbat gets stoned. What exceptions to the rule are there? One who curses one's father and mother gets stoned. However, this is limited to one who cursed them using the name of God. There is a debate about whether it is only if one uses the name of God and not a nickname. The verse regarding the punishment for this is extrapolated. The warning for this is derived from the verse in Shmot 22:27 from the prohibition to curse Elohim (either judges or God) and a Nasi. How is it derived from this verse? One who engages in sexual relations with a betrothed young woman receives the punishment of stoning. To receive this specific punishment, the woman must be a naara (the stage between a ketana and a bogeret), virgin, betrothed, and still in her father's domain. If two men engage in relations with her, only the first is stoned, the second receives the typical punishment for adultery of strangulation. All these details are derived from verses in the Torah. The Mishna corresponds to the opinion of Rabbi Meir, as the rabbis disagree and obligate one even if the woman is younger, a ketana. There is a tannaitic debate between Rabbi Yonatan and Rabbi Yoshea about whether according to Rabbi Meir there is a punishment of strangulation for the man if the girl is under the age of a naara or if there would be no punishment at all. Each establishes his position using a verse from the Torah. What does each one derive from the verse supporting the other's opinion?
The life story of Moses is remarkable, only after being a shepherd for 40 years in Midian was he called by God to serve him. He then had the drama of the plagues and his inter-action with Pharaoh. The dramatic crossing of the Red Sea and the quaking mountain and 40 days on the summit are naturally seen as the highlights of his life story. But something totally special was in store for him and we read of this today in Exodus 33 and 34.The Lord commands them to leave Sinai, God sees the masses encamped there as “a stiff necked people” [33 v.3]. Yesterday we read “the LORD said to Moses, ‘Whoever has sinned I will blot out of my book.'” [32 v.33] When Moses went into his tent “the pillar of cloud would descend … Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend” [33 v.9,11] Moses says to the LORD, “If I have found favour in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favour in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.”[v.13] The LORD answers, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” [v.13,14] The A V has ‘give thee rest' – the promised “rest” only applied to Moses.There follows a remarkable request. “Moses said, ‘Please show me your glory.' The answer is most thought provoking, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The LORD.' And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.” [v.18,19] Moses is made to stand in the “cleft of a rock” until the LORD has passed by, but Moses is not allowed to see his face.But the greater cause for our meditation is the declaration of his name. In one sense God's name, as with our name, is the reputation we develop and display.Moses goes up on the mountain for a second 40 days (34 v.28) and again “The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, ‘The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger; and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness … ” [v.5,6,] The glory of character is far greater in meaning than physical glory.. Remember Isaiah's prophecy about Jesus that he would have “no beauty that we should desire him.” [53 v.2] – yet all human portraits make him handsome with flowing golden hair!Let us each meditate as to how we would respond – if asked to show our glory! How we feel we can genuinely answer this request – will one day be reflected in the kind of “rest” we will receive.

The first law (of dozens) featured in our Parsha tells of a Jewish bondsman who chooses to voluntarily extend his servitude past the required 6 years. This bondsman is brought to a door or a doorpost and has his ear pierced. Why is his ear pierced? Because he failed to listen carefully at Sinai. This first law of our Parsha reveals a new dimension of the Sinai Revelation and the acceptance of Torah. In this podcast, we contrast the beginning of our Parsha and the classification of Sinai that it offers, with the the end of the Parsha and the very different view of Sinai that it offers. We emerge with a novel understanding of the Sinai Revelation and the acceptance of Torah, and a deeper and richer perspective of the goal of Torah.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In today's episode, Israel arrives at Sinai and Moses ascends the mountain to speak with God. The Lord sends him back down with a proposition: if Israel will carefully listen to Him and keep His covenant, then they will be his own possession out of all the peoples, even though the whole world belongs to God. After confirming with the people, Moses ascends again and receives a moral code by which they might live; this Decalogue, more commonly known as the Ten Commandments, allowed Israel to know how they could live a life that pleased the Lord. After witnessing the plagues on Egypt, the columns of cloud and fire, and the Red Sea's parting, it would have been no small thing for Israel to know that such a powerful God would be on their side.Exodus 19 - 1:01 .

After the grand revelation at Mount Sinai, this week's parsha shifts from the dramatic to the practical, laying out 53 mitzvot that guide daily Jewish life—from civil laws to ethical responsibilities. But Mishpatim isn't just a list of rules; it's a blueprint for bringing Sinai into every moment. How do we take big, sacred ideas and make them part of our everyday lives? Tune in to find out.

The Parsha that follows the Revelation at Sinai contains an apparently motley potpourri of subjects: it begins with a wide variety of mitzvos of all types, presented in rapid fire succession. The Parsha concludes with two apparently unrelated subjects: it foretells of the conquest of Canaan and the conditions by which we will acquire it, and it revisits the Sinai Revelation and the events that led up to it. In this special edition of the Parsha Podcast, we explore the surprising layout of the subjects of our Parsha and discover a fundamental and perhaps overlooked benefit of the framework of Torah.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Parshas Mishpatim marks a stark change in the rhythm and pace of the Torah narrative. The preceding 17 Parshas contained a total of 41 mitzvos; this week we begin learning the Torah laws en masse. In this single parsha alone we have 53 mitzvos (only three parshas have more mitzvos). Beyond the varied laws, this parsha contains a prophetic promise and guidance regarding the conquest of Canaan, and the completion of the Sinai narrative that began in last week's parsha.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Sometimes I just feel so . . . invisible.” The word hung in the air as Joanie talked to her friend. Her husband had left for another woman, leaving Joanie with young children still at home. “I gave him my best years,” she confided. “And now I don’t know if anyone would really see me or take the time to actually know me.” “I’m so sorry,” her friend responded. “My dad walked out when I was six, and it was hard for us, especially Mom. But she said this thing when she tucked me in at night that I never forgot: ‘God never closes His eyes.’ When I was older, she explained she was trying to teach me that God loved me and watched over me always, even while I slept.” The Bible presents words God gave Moses to share with His people during a challenging time, when they were wandering in Sinai’s desert: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace” (Numbers 6:24–26). The blessing was to be spoken by the priests over the people. Even in life’s wildernesses—those places where we wonder if anyone sees us or truly understands—God is faithful. God’s favor—His shining face and enduring love—is always turned toward those who love Him, even when we can’t feel Him because of our pain. No one is invisible to God.
