May We Just Be
Purim is a time for us to mask ourselves in a gesture of fun and frolic. We hide our true identities from each other as though it were a children’s game of “let’s pretend.” While some psychologists might admit to the need every once in a while it is necessary for people to let their hair down and be more “themselves,” the hidden message in this remark is that we spend the majority of our time pretending to be somebody that we’re not. We find ourselves being what is expected of us by others, and after a while, hiding behind these…

Why is he not mentioned in a Torah portion that begins with the words “Atah tetzaveh,” meaning, “You shall further instruct…”? God refers to Moses but does not mention him directly by name! What’s up with God?

To-Marrow, To-Marrow, Is Just a Life Away
Right before leaving for a short weekend trip to Houston to celebrate my Mother-in-Law’s 85th birthday party with my wife and her seven siblings, their children, and grandchildren – close to sixty in all – I stopped at the bookstore to pick up my daughter who needed a book to read for school. I had no intention of buying myself another book since I had plenty of others unread sitting on the shelf in my bedroom waiting for my attention. No sooner had I crossed the threshold of the entrance when I was greeted by a gentleman in a suit…
