Without any irony, I can say that she is truly a giant. Which brings us back to the place we started, the theme of sacrifice. When our ancestors gave the first f…
…woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his cellphone and calls 911. He gasps: “My friend is dead! What should I do?” The operator says: “Calm down, I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: “OK, now what?” Even if you follow all the directions geschribben in the Shulhan Arukh strictly, letter…
…. The new congregation called itself Congregation Beth El. Rabbi Jordan Ofseyer was formally installed in December 1962, with the installation address given by Dr. Mordecai M. Kaplan.

Already here, this week, Rebecca and Jacob and Esau threaten to overtake the narrative. But if Isaac has any moment in the limelight, it is this one: v’eyleh toldot…
…e contrary, being a shepherd was more than that. A shepherd had to keep an eye on what their flock ate and, in case of danger, a shepherd would have to be alert for any wandering young lamb. They would have to catch up with their flock if it suddenly took of. It has been recorded that a ram on a short charge can reach speeds up to 38 miles per hour.
