		<description><![CDATA[January 15, 2012: Parashat B’shallah The exception to my rule of thumb not to speak about directly about politics, the sole occasion when I will break that rule, is when I feel not speaking my mind is at odds with my conscience. It compels me to entertain perhaps the most controversial question emanating from the horror [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[January 7, 2012: Parashat Veyehi In this week&#8217;s parasha, Jacob&#8217;s life draws to an end.  The last act of the last patriarch is recorded in the penultimate chapter of Genesis, chapter 49, the bulk of which comprises+- our Torah reading today.  “Jacob called unto his sons and said, &#8216;Gather unto me, and I will tell you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[December 24, 2011: Parashat Mikketz/Shabbat Hanuka  The Torah records God&#8217;s appearances to the patriarchs, describing what He communicated to them within those appearances.  These direct, unfiltered encounters with the Divine come to an end with the last of the patriarchs.  Thereafter, only Moses would merit such face-to-face time with the Almighty.  But prophecy nevertheless remained very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[December 3, 2011: Parashat Vayetze Jacob knew an opportunity when he saw one, even as a very young person.  Recall the ease with which he obtained the birthright.  Esau returns from the hunt, obviously exhausted, sees Jacob cooking up a tasty concoction of lentils, and casually says to his twin brother, “fork it over.”  Sensing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[November 12, 2011: Parashat Vayera Over the years, I’ve become quite the champion of Abraham as the epitome of righteousness.  Among the evidence I’ve adduced for this position is his negotiation with God on the question of whether Sodom and Gemorah should be destroyed.  I’ve argued for interpreting the interesting circumstance in our parasha, in which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[November 5, 2011: Parashat Lekh Lekha In 1973, PBS aired a series tracing human development through math and science.  The title, “The Ascent of Man,” was a pun on Darwin&#8217;s famous book.  I didn&#8217;t see the series – I was 16 and not very interested in math, unless it included the numbers 36/24/36.  But about 20 [...]]]></description>
