|  | | There is an enormous difference between a lie where the words themselves are false, and a lie where the words are true but the intention is for a lie. | | | | | |  | | The Torah recognizes and grants great reward for commandments which involve our recognition of mesirat nefesh (self-sacrifice). | | | | | |  | We, the Jewish people, are experiencing the tragedy of living in a permanent war zone on our very skins.
| | | | | |  | | God forbid it should ever happen, but let's say you had to make a choice between having your sense of sight be removed or your sense of hearing. Which of the two would you rather have? | | | | | |
|  | | One should love God with a great, brazen, extreme love, until one's soul is connected with love of God, and he speaks of it consistently as if he were lovesick. | | | | | |  | | Too often Jews continue to be observant but are weak in a deeper understanding of what they're doing in their observance. | | | | | |  | | If the theories of Jewish tradition are accurate, Jewish sin is the true cause of all the enormous upheavals that took place in the ancient world. | | | | | |  | | Human nature tempts us to give free reign to our passions and then to create intellectual justifications for succumbing to them | | | | | |  | | Pinchas, the hero of this week’s Parshah, was previously unheard of, who, with a single act of bravery was catapulted to stardom. | | | | |
