Thursday, February 14, 2013. Turning #Knesset into a Beit Midrash: Ruth Calderon and Remembering David Hartman. The Torah is not the property of one movement or another. It is a gift that every one of us received, and we have all been granted the opportunity to meditate upon it as we create the realities of our lives.". Dr Ruth Calderon, MK. Dr Calderon created a space where men and women, observant and non-observant Israelis could come together and study Judaism's classic texts. In a recent op-ed. I con...

TorahBlahnik: April 2013
http://torahblahnik.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 21, 2013. After the deaths, you shall be holy: Reflections on #Boston. Here are the words I shared with my congregation. On Friday night, April 19, 2013. As I said to a colleague, it felt simple- maybe too simple? But as I wrote, and as I spoke, I realized they were the words I needed to hear- and maybe you as well. Amidst all of the pictures from the Boston Marathon—the blood and the chaos, the terror and the heroism— one picture. Al kol elehh, al kol eleh. Shmor na li eli ha-tov. For cent...

TorahBlahnik: August 2013
http://torahblahnik.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 23, 2013. Sticks, Stones, and Words: #AntoinetteTuff and #Elul. Sticks, Stones, and Words. Shabbat Drash, August 23, 2013 (17 Elul 5773). It was a scene that has, in the past couple of years, become far too routine. Antoinette Tuff is not an NRA spokeswoman; she is not a gun-control advocate. She is not a pastor, a psychologist, nor a trained hostage negotiator. She is a school clerk, and she is a woman of faith. For 24 minutes. She calmed him. She told him that he wasn’t alone i...As she ...

Wednesday, April 25, 2012. I can't take any credit for this. My colleague, Rabbi Michael Latz, posted this on his Facebook page for today- Yom HaZikaron. I found it so moving that I wanted to share:. Day 18. Spiritual Guidance for an upside down world. Yom HaZikaron-. Who has died in the quest for peace, a poem by Yonatan. Gefen, translated by Amichai Lau. We found a place for the kitchen tent and a place for the supplies,. We made a campfire, with twigs of terebinth and wild berries,. But as I sit on th...

Friday, August 24, 2012. BlogElul, Day 6: On Faith, (or at least Light). Today's #BlogElul theme is faith. And as I was reading Rabbi Rebecca Einstein Schorr's. Blog on the subject, I was reminded of something I wrote lo those many years ago, as a rabbinic student at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. In Los Angeles. A classmate organized a group of us to write kavannot. For the eight nights of Chanukah. I was assigned to write about faith. I celebrate the Festival of Lights. In the famil...

Migdalor Guy's New Blog: August 2015
http://migdalorguysblog.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Migdalor Guy's New Blog. Random Musings About Life, Torah, Judaism and Everything. Friday, August 28, 2015. Random Musing Before Shabbat-Ki Tetzei 5775- Re-Honoring Inconsistency. It’s one of the more flippant musings I’ve written over the years, and I’m in a flippant mood, what with school starting Monday, religious school starting soon thereafter, and HHD choir rehearsals and other preparations in full swing. I revel in inconsistencies. So I thought I’d give this musing. Let's take a look, shall we?
