Shoftim and Who Will Be the Judge?
This week is Parshat Shoftim, which contains instructions for establishing a just society, including laws for judges, law enforcement, kings, and warfare. It makes me think of the laws we currently have for our society and I wonder how practical they are. Where do we go from here? What should change and what should remain the same?Thanks for being on this journey with us!

Looking at Parshat Re'eh
“See,” says Moses to the people of Israel, “I place before you today a blessing and a curse”—the blessing that will come when they fulfill G‑d’s commandments, and the curse if they abandon them.We break it down for you this week! Enjoy and shabbat shalom from Edinburgh and Hull, MA.

Eikev and Second Chances
Who could use a second chance? This parsha follows Moses and he continues his closing address to the children of Israel, promising them that if they will fulfill the commandments of the Torah, they will prosper in the Land they are about to conquer and settle in keeping with Hashem's promise to their forefathers.Shabbat shalom!

Va'etchanan and Tu B'Av, Feeling the Love
This Parsha includes a repetition of the Ten Commandments as well as the verses of the Shema. Va'etchanan means "I pleaded," and Moses is pleading with Hashem to be let into the Land of Israel. This is also the holiday of Tu B'Av, where singles traditionally wear white and gather in the town square to look for their intended. It's a very romantic time and Briyah is feeling loved! Baruch hashem!Follow @briyah for more updates
