Lighting up: The task of lifelong learning

Over the ages, the menorah has been endowed with much symbolism. Among other associations, it has been linked to the Jewish people’s mission to be a “light to the nations”; its six branches have alluded to the six workdays, looking up to the seventh, central branch, the Sabbath, as a day of rest from creative work.

The Third Temple – What if it Comes Today?

What does that look like for the nations of the world?

The Most Important Hebrew Grammar Lesson

Learn how to apply number and gender to Hebrew nouns, adjectives and present-tense verbs. This is something that is very different than the way that English works, but the good news is that it is easy and VERY useful for understanding Hebrew.

We get so many comments!
Here is one from Cindy Offenstein on lesson
Abraham in the land of Gerar

"Thank you for that insightful teaching. The connection of Abraham in Gerar as a foreshadowing of the Exodus is a connection I have never made. I look forward to more of your teachings!"
