The Two-Way Street | Tisha B’Av

08/06/2019

Tisha B’Av is a Jewish day of mourning, commemorating the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, among other events.

The Two-Way Street | For Such A Moment

03/20/2019

In the story of Purim, God is glimpsed only through the acts of human beings in solidarity with one another. While the name of God is never invoked directly in the Megillah, when Esther sends word to Mordecai that she is afraid to go to her husband the king without being summoned (an act that could get her executed), Mordecai replies, “Do not imagine that you, of all the Jews, will escape with your life by being in the king’s palace.

The Two-Way Street | Sobering Thoughts in Advance of Purim

03/05/2019

An old Yiddish expression speaks of a topsy-turvy person as one who is “drunk the whole year and sober on Purim.” I want to suggest, in a similar vein, that in times as befuddled as ours we might need to look through the lens of Purim to achieve some measure of sobriety.

The Two-Way Street | The Ten Commandments: Redux

01/09/2019

I sometimes fantasize about what an updated version of The Ten Commandments would look like. The following four Torah portions in the month of Shevat, which began the evening of January 6, provide parallels for the remade movie.

The Two-Way Street: Mar Cheshvan — The Bitter Month

10/09/2018

How bitter to read about prominent American Jews like Peter Beinart being detained at Ben Gurion Airport for voicing views contrary to Israeli government policy. These and other bitter policies and practices offend our morals and move Israel further from peace and from us. More and more, our rabbis are summoning the courage to condemn these outrages — formerly discussed and informally debated at onegs and in Jewish homes — from their pulpits. Rabbis Franken, Zemel and others care deeply about Israel and so they speak up, despite the factions that wish everyone would look the other way, while Israel, like brother Esau, sells its birthright.
