Tetzaveh 5782: You Never Have to Eat Hamentashen

This week, Rabbi Wolkenfeld and Rabbanit Goldie reflect on Pastor Donovan Price’s visit to ASBI last Shabbat and the power of this show of solidarity as well how we, as an urban orthodox congregation, have a duty to support our neighbors. They also delve deeper into many of the learning that has been happening at the shul and what’s ahead on our calendar: the halacha of a Bar Mitzvah boy with dyslexia who can’t read from the Torah but who can leyn from memory; Rabbanit Goldie’s series on the teachings of Rabbi Nachman and his practice of finding a quiet space to speak to God; from Daf Yomi, the mitzvah of kriah and the ways that Jewish tradition provides a path for mourning in a psychologically astute way; and the upcoming observance of Purim Katan.
