Off to Sukkot!
It’s that time of year again. We are very anxious to get out to our Sukkah again! This is our fifth year keeping the Feast of Tabernacles. It is really hard to believe that we have been blessed by the truths of Torah for that long. We have grown in many ways, and have discovered […]
Thoughts on the Days of Awe
My life is made up of minutes.Each minute I use costs me part of my life.How did I use those minutes?Did I waste them on silliness, or selfishness, or wishful thinking?Or did I make a difference in the lives of those around me?Did I share a smile?Did I offer a drink of water?Did I patiently […]

Happy Feast of Trumpets!
Wow! This must be a record for me. Every stitch of work I can dream up is done, the bills are payed, the food is put away, the kids are bathed, and everything is ready for our Yom Teruah celebration tomorrow. We’re just watching “Annie” while we wait for the new moon. Tomorrow we are […]
Healing, Part 5
I have really been grappling with the connection between sin and sickness. Last week’s torah portion included Deuteronomy 28, 68 verses of blessings and cursings. If you obey you will be blessed.
