I discuss the weekly Torah portion with Rabbi Rabbs Mondays at 7:00 pm PDT on the rabbi’s cam and on YouTube. Facebook Fan Page.
This week we study Parashat Tzav (Leviticus 6:1-8:36).
* Rabbi Berel Wein writes: “This should set us to think about the importance of ritual in our religious and daily life. The secular humanists of the nineteenth century and their followers in the Jewish world attempted to create an idealistic and permanent Jewish life based on the abolition of ritual and the centrality of humanistic values. After two centuries, it is clear that this attempt to ennoble mankind and/or Jews has failed. The basic conclusion that if one does not eat matzo on Pesach, one’s grandchildren will eventually forget Pesach altogether has been proven, sadly and beyond doubt.”
* What should we as Torah Jews do about the rash of massage parlors doing business next to shuls?
* Why don’t many unmarried Orthodox women try to look their best?
