Jewish History

On the 5th of Tammuz of the year 3332 from creation (429 BCE), Ezekiel, among the only prophets to prophesy outside of the Holy Land, beheld a vision of the Divine "Chariot" representing the spiritual infrastructure of creation.

Laws and Customs

During the summer months, from the Shabbat after Passover until the Shabbat before Rosh Hashahah, we study a weekly chapter of the Talmud's Ethics of the Fathers ("Avot") each Shabbat afternoon; this week we study Chapter Four.

Daily Thought

In the beginning, a world of twos was created.

Heaven and Earth. Body and soul. Good and evil. Life and death. Light and darkness.

Those who chose Heaven abandoned the earth. Those who chose the body abandoned the soul. Those who chose evil destroyed life.

Those who chose good believed it would only come with death.

Until Torah entered the world.

Heaven met Earth and the two embraced. The soul found meaning within the body. Good found purpose in its journey through darkness. And those who died will return to find truth in this world.

Torah is a way of peace between all opposites, a light to discover the truth within all that G‑d has made. An absolute oneness beyond all binaries.​
