A WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT FROM RABBI MORDY We live in the age of social media. There is so much happening on WhatsApp, Instagram and “X” that if some of us go a day without checking these sources, it feels as though we’ve been completely out of touch, regardless of how “with it” we may actually be.

Get Happy! (Seriously!)

A WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT BY RABBI MORDY This week, as mentioned last week, we don’t technically read a specific Parsha. We read a special reading from the Torah associated with Sukkot; on Wednesday, Simchat Torah, we will actually read the final portion (V’zot habracha).
