Dear friends, I find myself in a predicament. On the one hand, this is a biblical blog, and I am not supposed to spend my once-per-month post discussing current events. On the other hand, it’s virtually impossible, living in Israel, to write about anything but the war these days. I suppose, there is only one […]
No Words My dear readers, when I published my monthly post in October (the post that had been written and prepared before the war), I thought, it was impossible to write about this horror while it was still going on. That is why I decided to publish my pre-prepared post. I had no words – […]
My beloved readers, of course, I wrote this post a few weeks before the war (it feels like an eternity ago), and even in the worst nightmare nobody could then have imagined the horrific attack that happened on October 7th and all that would unfold (and continues to unfold) after that. It’s really hard to […]
The Wordless Cry We are in the Hebrew month of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. As you all know, the number seven is very important in the Bible. Just as the seventh day is a prophetic symbol of the future messianic kingdom, so is the seventh month: the journey of the […]
Capital Letters The High Holidays are upon us, and my upcoming posts will be dedicated to the Fall Feasts. This month, however, I can still indulge myself with my favourite topic: showing my readers the hidden gems of the Hebrew Scriptures, the amazing things that are lost in translation. Last time we spoke about Jacob; […]
There is a meaningful interval in the Biblical calendar: from Shavuot and the presentation of the first-fruits on the 6th of Sivan, till the blowing of shofar on the 1st of Tishrei, there are almost four months – and right now we are in this interval. Therefore, I can allow myself to remind you all […]
Nowadays, almost everyone uses Google Maps for navigation, but around twenty years ago, when the first GPS, or navigation devices appeared, when an object was located on it, a flashing red dot appeared on the screen and there were different options to zoom in or zoom out. Usually, you would be interested in the “street […]
Dear friends, you might be surprised by this title: both Passover and Easter have passed already, so why would I write about it now? Why, indeed? Currently, we are in the month of Iyar, the second month of the biblical calendar; the root of this word comes from the word “light”, this is the month […]
My dear readers, we have entered the month of Nisan – the first month of the Biblical calendar – and of course, this month is all about Passover: both the first Passover and the Passover week 2000 years ago. However, since the current format of this blog doesn’t allow me several articles, I’ve chosen to […]
My dear readers, every year I write here about Purim, and every year I discover something new about this fascinating festival. Today, we will start with a very simple question (although the discourse this question leads to is not simple at all): Why is there a masquerade on Purim? Why do we dress in costumes […]
