Hebrew Word of the Week
Lifestyle
If there is no Torah, there is no common decency; if there is no common decency, there is no Torah. If there is no wisdom, there is no fear of G-d; if there is no fear of G-d, there is no wisdom. If there is no applied knowledge, there is no analytical knowledge; if there is no analytical knowledge, there is no applied knowledge. If there is no flour, there is no Torah; if there is no Torah, there is no flour.

G‑d is found at two poles of Time:
He is found outside time and beyond.
And He is found here within the moment now.
From that point beyond time, G‑d looks within the moment now, and He says, “From this, I will have delight.”
With that choice, all of past and future is created anew.
