We start to blow the Shofar tomorrow. It’s an attempt to get our attention. But really it’s a way to start the month with an emphasis on hearing.
Back in Bereisheet, the births of the tribes begin in an order that echoes the natural world. First, there was sight and then there was hearing -- Reuven and then Shimon. That’s the natural way, as we all know that we see lightning well before we hear the crack...Read more...
