Making modern meaning from ancient texts! Each week Rabbi Micah Streiffer discusses the weekly Torah portion in about 7 to 10 minutes, through liberal Jewish eyes. We weave together philosophy, spirituality, tradition, and social justice - and derive meaning for today‘s life from our sacred sources. Longer episodes include a bonus interview with leading rabbis and Jewish thought leaders.
With questions or comments, please contact me at rabbistreiffer@gmail.com.
This week's parashah has it all: comedy, blessings and curses, and a talking donkey! In our conversation with Rabbi Karen Thomashow we discuss the place of parable and legend in the Torah, and what it means to find your authentic voice.
