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...

| Summary |
I mentioned the serendipity of the placement of the double Parasha last week in the way it emphasizes the importance of Eretz Yisrael. The timing is also explained by the need to make sure this week’s Parasha always comes out before Tisha B’Av is observed.
