A gleaner’s garland, abraxas bop. Eulogy for the hyacinth rainbow. Throttlebottom doo-dah at the flicker-flame's trial. Cattywampus yawp, ninnyhammer’s neigh. Elegiac dirge of the Anthropocene’s twilight, echoing through Shadow Gulch. Canceled event horizon. Extinction boogaloo, debacle bacchanal, hot mess hecatomb. The jitter-glitch shuffle fiasco at the last-gasp hosanna potluck. Warble.

The Mishneh Torah was the Rambam's (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) magnum opus, a work spanning hundreds of chapters and describing all of the laws mentioned in the Torah.

Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the ...

Listen along as Rabbi Menashe Uhr explores the topic of Mitzvos with two special guests - Shlomi and Mellissa. The 3 come very very different Jewish backgrounds, and each bring their own perspectives (and questions!) to the table. The goal is to explore each Mitzvah, and discuss, analyze - and debate - the underlying themes and purpose of the Mitzvah. By understanding what the Mitzvah is really all about we hope to build a personal 'connection' to it, enabling us to perform the Mitzvos of Ha ...
