The Amalekites were brutal and savage, severing...

In a matter of less than a few days, the lives of millions of Israelis, Jews, and Gentiles from around the world were changed.

Sefer Yetzira tells us that the Creator created the world with "a book, a story, and an author." Are we the authors of our stories or are we passive and reactive players?

At thi...

What is the return to the body? While we may believe that Teshuva entails running away...

In the Torah portion of Ki Teitzei, the narrative starts with the theme of going out to war. Renowned commentator Rashi imparts a fascinating perspective—he dubs this conflict a "war of permission."
