Covenant & Conversation

Holiness and Childbirth
Judaism is a profound rejection of cults, ancient and modern, that glorify death.
The Circumcision of Desire
The inner history of humanity is in part the history of the idea of love. And at some stage a new idea makes its appearance in biblical Israel.
The Eighth Day
Why circumcision? Why was this from the outset not just a mitzvah, one command among others, but the very sign of our covenant with G‑d and His with us? And why on the eighth day?
The Price of Free Speech
Allowing people to speak badly about one another will eventually destroy the integrity of the group.
How to Praise
By recognizing the good in people and saying so, we help bring people’s potential to fruition. Praising their efforts rather than their innate gifts helps encourage growth.
