Shabbat Shalom.
If you came looking for a d'var Torah this week, you were disappointed - I certainly was.
But nobody signed up for the week, and NavyVetTerp, instead of filling in as he usually does (and as I did before burning out), left the week empty.
If you value the series, please consider signing up to do a d'var Torah. Our writers vary greatly in our degrees of learning and observance. We are Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, secular, and even Christian. All we ask for is a willingness to engage with the text itself and some of the issues it raises. There is lots of online commentary which makes it easy to prepare. And of course NVT and I and others are available for questions.
Contact NVT to schedule a week that's open. And thanks.
