I just got up from sitting shiva for my mother aleha hashalom, who passed away at the age of nearly 102. Many people said to me, kindly and sincerely, "At least she had a good innings." I think the Torah teaches us the opposite. This is the first of a series of videos I hope to make honoring my mother a"h, connected to the weekly parsha. In 1972, R…

Stoppard was never remotely religious, but his unwitting world view was so Jewish.

Parashat Ha'Azinu is not merely a poem; it is a shirah — a Divine song. The combination of words and music gives song the power to express simultaneously joy and sorrow, exile and redemption, judgment and compassion. That is why Moshe, on the last day of his life, chooses a song to seal the Torah's message for eternity. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher …
