We delve in to the deep meaning of the number 3 and learn what the festival Shavuot teaches us for our entire Jewish identity. Join me as we dissect the mechanics of any human relationship - coworkers, friendships, enemies and marriages, and then superimpose the workings we discovered to our relationship with our Creator. It all started on Shavuot - let's get ready.

You just got your independence, freedom at last and the possibilities are endless...those are the emotions the Jews must have felt right after leaving Egypt. In this week's Torah portion we are commanded to count. Count the days between Passover and Shavuos. What does this process of counting have to do with our core identity and what can we learn to instill a positive identity in us? Join me as we find out.

We are given quite an intense commandment, or rather warning, in this weeks Torah portion- not to symbolize the loss of a loved one with a cut on our flesh. Lets go down a few levels here and gain appreciation to the nuanced approach the Torah is giving us about how to deal with pain in our lives.

In this weeks Parsha we talk about the Metzora - someone who, because of moral transgressions, must isolate from the entire community. Since the word 'isolation' is much used these days, lets delve a bit deeper in to the distasteful actions, their psychological underpinnings and the consequence the Torah prescribes to fix the internal problem. Well hopefully emerge with a new perspective on our own social distancing that will bring fresh opportunities for all of us.

This Passover may be one that many would like to pass over (sorry, couldn't resist the pun) however we are given a completely unique opportunity in our lives, even if we wouldn't have chosen it. Join me as we make two points - one to do with the structure of the Seder and one more personal, and lets prepare for an amazing Pessach we'll be happy we experienced.

How do we overcome that voice inside us that seems to whisper 'your not good enough' on repeat, hindering us from following through with our dreams? Taking a good look at the constructing of the Tabernacle in this weeks Torah portion, we may gain insight for our day to day lives.
