This is my commentary on the torah portion Toledot - "generations." This parsha, in my opinion, is one of the most astounding and prophetically rich portions in the Torah. Here we are introduced to Jacob and Esau and see the developing story of two brothers at odds with each other and how their conflict affects the entire world to this very day.  Hope you enjoy!

Torah Portion: Toledot (B’reshiyt 25:19 – 28:9)

This is my commentary on the torah portion Chayeh Sarah - "Life of Sarah." Though it begins with a narrative concerning Sarah's death, the greater part of this sidrah is devoted to Abraham's desire to find a proper wife for his son Isaac. In this story we see a picture of the Heavenly Father's devotion to finding a wife for His Son. Shalom!

Torah Portion: Chayeh Sarah (B’reshiyt 23:1 – 25:18)

This is my commentary on the torah portion Vayera - "And He appeared." In this torah portion we see the culmination of Abraham's transformation from just a man with a calling to the spiritual father of a nation. The pinnacle of this sidrah is the akeidah - the binding of Isaac - and Abraham's unwavering faith in the Heavenly Father. Hope you enjoy!

Torah Portion: Vayera (B’reshiyt 18:1 – 22:24)

This is my commentary on the torah portion Lech L'cha- "Go for yourself." In this portion we have one of the most important stories Scripture has to offer - the call of Abram of Ur to become Abraham the Hebrew. Moreover, the events described in this portion relating to Abraham's life are a pattern for what the seed of Abraham (you and me) will encounter in our lives and in these last days. Shalom!

Torah Portion: Lech L’cha (B’reshiyt 12:1 – 17:27)

Shalom. This is our commentary on the portion Noach and, like B'reshiyt, it is fairly lengthy. I hope that you will enjoy the content and be blessed. Download PDF by copying and pasting this link into your browser: https://billcloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Noah.pdf

Torah Portion: Noah (B’reshiyt 6:9 – 11:32)

Shalom. This is our commentary on the Torah's first portion, B'reshiyt - "In the beginning." In this opening portion is the beginning of all things. Consequently, this portion is quite lengthy.

Torah Portion: B’reshiyt (B’reshiyt 1:1 – 6:8)

Shalom. This is our commentary on the Torah's final portion, V'zot Ha'Berachah - "And this is the blessing." In this portion, Moses prepares to be gathered unto "his fathers" but before leaving this world, like Jacob, he blesses the tribes of Israel. In doing so, Moses exemplifies the characteristics of a great leader: he blesses those who provoked his  transgression which kept him from going into the Land. Also, like Jacob, Moses blends prophecy with the blessing indicating what is to be the outcome for each tribe. Hope you enjoy.

Torah Portion: V’zot Ha’berachah (D’varim 33:1 – 34:12)

Shalom. Here is our commentary on the parsha Ha'azinu or "listen." This portion is the song of Moses given to Israel just before his death. In it we learn the faithfulness of God in the face of Israel's unfaithfulness and ingratitude. Yet, we also learn that, in the end of days, the Creator will demonstrate to Israel that He alone is able to deliver them and will do it for the sake of His great Name. Hope you enjoy.

Torah Portion – Ha’azinu (D’varim 32:1 – 32:52)

Shalom. This is our audio commentary on the portion Vay'yelech - "and he went." On the last day of his life, Moses went through the camp to encourage the people that the Creator would continue to guide them even though he, Moses, would no longer be with them. Yet, he also warned them that, in the future, their disobedience would cause God to "hide" His face from them and it wouldn't be until the end of days that their descendants would turn back to God with their whole heart. There is much to be considered in this portion. Download PDF by copying and pasting this link into your browser: https://billcloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Vayyelech.pdf
