The Parsha Experiment – Ki Teitzei

Thursday, September 15th, 2016

Last parsha, we began to suggest that all of these random laws are somehow related to the 10 commandments! But what is the larger message that this list of laws is coming to teach us?

This video is from Immanuel Shalev.

The Parsha Experiment – Shoftim: Is This Just A Boring Parsha?

Thursday, September 8th, 2016

If the entire book of Deuteronomy is supposed to be Moshe’s rousing speech before the nation enters Israel, how can we understand the mundane text of Parshat Shoftim? Instead of inspiration, we hear law after law of seemingly trivial matters – witnesses, legalities, land boundaries. What is this long list of laws doing in the middle of this book, that is supposedly Moshe’s inspirational speech?

The Parsha Experiment – Re’eh: Why Would Anyone Want to Worship Idols?

Thursday, September 1st, 2016

God doesn’t like foreign gods….but does He have to remind us over and over? And the people, too, seemed to be obsessed with foreign gods. What made avodah zarah so attractive, and therefore so destructive, that God needs to devote law after law to its eradication? And what does any of this have to do with us, today?

This video is from Immanuel Shalev.

Torah Cafe: The Parsha Experiment – Eikev: Appreciating Our Creators

Thursday, August 25th, 2016

God afflicted the nation of Israel through the past 40 years of the desert, withholding food and water from them…on purpose? How can we have a relationship with a God like that?

This video is from Immanuel Shalev.

The Parsha Experiement – Va’etchanan: Building an Intimate Relationship with God

Thursday, August 18th, 2016

In this week’s parsha, Moses speaks, a lot – but it all seems so boring, and disconnected. The Torah is a book – and every sentence of that book fits together, like pieces in a puzzle. But how does that work, in this parsha? What is this parsha actually about?

The Parsha Experiment – Devarim: Finding Inspiration From Our Past

Thursday, August 11th, 2016

In Devarim, Moses gives a grand speech that at first glance seems like a boring history lesson with the least inspiring stories! But underneath Moses’ words is an unbelievable message that the nation of Israel needed to hear right before they entered the land. What we come to find is that the messages of Moses speech are still applicable and inspiring to us, today. Join us as we try to tackle the mystery of Moses’ speech.

The Parsha Experiment – Matot-Masei: Israel’s Psychological Journey

Thursday, August 4th, 2016

Parshat Masei begins with a recap of everywhere Israel has been so far on their journey throughout the desert. And you have to ask: who cares? Why is this here? As we’ve discussed many times, the Torah is not just a list of laws and stories. Each piece is meant to teach us some sort of timeless lesson. How does this travel log do that?
