Abraham’s acquisition of the Cave of Machpelah
In a stunning historic development this week (17-23 November 2019 – 5780 Bible Calendar) the attention of the World has been drawn to the Original Bible Land – the much contested ‘Judea and Samaria.’ as being the legal right of the Jews to possess. This occurred when the President of the USA shocked the World […]
A Journey of a Thousand Miles (Chayei Sarah)
Yet how is any of this conceivable? Abraham and Sarah were commanded by God to leave everything that was familiar: their land, their home, their family, and travel to an unknown land. No sooner had they arrived than they were forced to leave because of famine. Twice, Abraham’s life was at risk when, driven into exile, he worried that he would be killed so that the local ruler could take Sarah into his harem. Sarah herself had to say that she was Abraham’s sister, and had to suffer the indignity of being taken into a stranger’s household.

Haftarah on Parashat Toldot
Observation by Kol Hator: The Haftarah sheds Light on the deadlock impression that many of us would have experienced in contemplating on Parashat Toldot which deals with the Family strife that the Patriarchs of Israel experienced – that is between Isaac and Ishmael and between Jacob and Esau. The Haftarah from Malachi seems to be […]
The Blessing of Avraham
Tracing the word “descendants” vs. “Goyim” to expound on the Promise to Abraham
NOTE – The Blessing promises that HaShem will be the God of Abraham’s descendants and that these descendants will be part of the Covenant – … and ‘descendants’ are defined as GOYIM and ‘nations’ (Israel is ONE nation only).
Why is all Israel called after the Tribe of Judah only?
You may be surprised to hear that the word “Jew” does not appear in the Five Books of Moses. The Torah refers to our people as the Children of Israel, for we are the children of our patriarch Jacob, who was given the additional name “Israel.” Israel fathered twelve children, who became the twelve tribes of Israel.
The name “Jew” comes from the name “Judah,” which means “thanksgiving.” Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and his wife Leah. As we read in this week’s Parshah, “And she conceived again and bore a son, and she said, ‘This time, I will thank [odeh] the L rd!’ Therefore, she named him Judah [Yehuda].”

Why does the Bible reflect Yosef as an Egyptian?
For those who may freak out at this idea that Yosef was ‘an Egyptian’ – of course, he was born a Hebrew/Israelite, but he grew up long before there was a Sinai Covenant and a Mosaic Academy. And he was captured to Egypt as but a teenager. For most of his life, until his death, he was a Ruler of Egypt. There is a Message in this – a Message for us in this End Time approaching the Final Redemption (Geulah)…
The Angel who did not know he was an Angel (Rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks)
The story of Joseph and his brothers, spread over four parshiyot, is the longest and most tightly scripted of all the narratives in the Torah. Nothing is there by accident; every detail counts. In this week’s Parashah one moment, however, seems gloriously irrelevant – and it is this that contains one of the most beautiful of the Torah’s ideas…
Light unto the Nations
This week’s Parashat Miketz falls in the week of Chanukah, the Feast of Light. The Rabbinic commentaries that we link to (at the foot of this article) places great accent on this factor of Light. They seek the deep connection between Parashat Miketz and Chanukah. It is all about the interceding by ‘Yosef’ – the present day metaphorical fulfilment…
