Sarinka is a moving Holocaust story that traces the life of a young woman beginning with her childhood in prewar Yugoslavia to experience living on the run, in hiding, and as a nurse among Tito’s partisans. She was one of the 982 refugees who resided at the Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter that was established in America for victims of the Nazi Holocaust during WWII. Author and daughter of the heroine, Linda Cohen takes the readers on a unique journey as she describes life in Yugoslavia—through her mother’s eyes—during the war and all the restrictions and dangers she ...

Among the world’s most recognizable man-made structures, the Dome of the Rock–known in Arabic as the Qubbat as-Sakara–is also one of its most mysterious. Although much of the Dome’s construction, reconstruction, and later additions are well-known from historical texts and archeological work, what it represents, why it was built where it was, and even its use remain the subject of scholarly controversy.

Jewish masculinity as a diverse set of adaptive reactions to masculine hegemony and the political, religious, and social realities of American Jews throughout the twentieth century. For twentieth-century Jewish immigrants and their children attempting to gain full access to American society, performative masculinity was a tool of acculturation. However, as scholar Miriam Eve Mora demonstrates, this performance is consistently challenged by American mainstream society that holds Jewish men outside of the American ideal of masculinity.

There I was sitting on the bathroom floor as if life had been syphoned from my feet, and a rug had been unsuspectingly pulled from underneath them. Could this be real? Is this a bad dream? If so, I need to wake up because I want out of this scene! What happens when tragedy strikes, and the supernatural intervenes to save an only child, a cherished daughter? Many great minds have experienced the mystical presence of God and His salvation in their lives and have testified to the vivid reality of the spiritual experience. Albert Einstein often said that as a scientist, his goal was to "read ...

The Book of Joram By Mark Uram What if Genesis and Exodus were never myth or metaphor—but fragmented memories of a real covenant? The Book of Joram is a sacred restoration of humanity’s earliest spiritual inheritance—bridging the God of Abraham with the Creator of the heavens, the earth, and the Sun. Written in the cadence of ancient scripture, this revelatory manuscript resurrects what was lost, redacted, or buried beneath empire, translation, and time. From Eden to Egypt, from Cain to Canaan, from Abram to Akhenaten—this is the journey of covenant, betrayal, inheritance, and ...

Rashi explains that the separate camp of the Levites served two purposes: to guard the Mishkan and to act as a boundary between it and the rest of the people. The gurading of this separation nullifies even the potential anger from Hashem.

After the Tochacha, when we confess our sins, Hashem says He'll rememeber the bris with Yaakov, with Yitzchak, and with Avraham. Rashi (Vayikra 26:42) explains why it switches the order of the avos.

In this week’s special Shavuot episode of Honi’s Circle, we study a text from Leviticus and one from Ruth—first, in Leviticus, the commandment in the Torah to set aside a corner of your field for the poor to glean from; second, the story in Ruth, seeing gleaning in action. We speak about how Shavuot is a holiday of recommitment to the Torah, embodying loving-kindness and a system of laws that ask the community to sustain those without resources, and how developing a system to recommit to fighting climate change can keep us in action for years to come. Follow along with the source sheet ...

In this episode of Underneath the Underneath, we explore the inner preparation and energetic alignment that makes revelation possible. As we enter the month of Sivan and approach Shavuot, we turn to the Baal Shem Tov’s teaching that the voice of Sinai never stopped — it’s still speaking, waiting for us to become still enough to hear.We dive into themes of readiness, emptiness, and the sacred unknown. The Torah was not given in a city, nor on a mountaintop of clarity — but in the wilderness. The desert becomes a holy container precisely because it is empty, uncertain, and wild. It’s ...

It was the whack heard around the world. The door on the airplane opened to a bewildered Emanuel Macron who downplayed what we all saw, clear as day in video footage. But big news out of Israel is the elimination of yet another Sinwar brother. Also reports of Israel planning an attack on Iran are heating up while the White House continues to tell Israel to stand down. Also, an Israeli competes in the Indy 500, and suspicious packages keep arriving at Knesset members. In other news, in the US, two innocents were brutally murdered by a far-left anti-Semite in Washington DC, and we put some of ...

In this week’s parsha, the Israelites are counted after being divided into the 12 tribes, each with their own mission. However, before they could take on those tasks, they needed to build the Mishkan, before all else, because the need for holiness should not be postponed. The holiday of Shevuot highlights the importance and urgency of this task and being Unified. What is your personal Mishkan and what should you do with it? Listen and find out.

In this class series, Rabbi Shmuly will explore the Torah of the mind. We will explore how Jewish thought intersects with modern psychological studies and theories by examining thinkers like Freud, Piaget, Maslow, Frankl, and so many others over 50 interactive sessions. Looking at consciousness, moral reasoning, ego, love, learning, and evil, how can we better understand why humans act as they do? Considering our relationships, traumas, memories, conflicts, and self-esteem, how can reflecting on the deep complexity of our minds help us live more meaningful lives? Further, how might Jewish ...
