Parshas Acharei Mos-Kedoshim Inspiration: Is Love Possible??

In this week’s Parsha, we are commanded “V’ahavta l’rei’echa kamocha, you shall love your neighbor like yourself. There is an obvious question here. What exactly does this mean? How is it possible to love someone else as we love ourselves? Isn’t that counterintuitive? After all, we are wired to fend and protect ourselves. We are wired…

Parshas Vaikra Inspiration

In this week’s Parsha, the pasuk says, “Adam ki yakriv mikem karbon lashem – when a person from you offers a sacrifice to Hashem.” There is a question here: The Torah could have simply said Adam ki yakriv karbon lashem – when a person brings a sacrifice to Hashem. Why does the Torah use the…
