From the Fire to Freedom:

April 11, 2025 by Joanne Fink

Reflections on Parashat Tzav and the Journey of the Omer As we prepare for Passover and begin the sacred practice of Counting the Omer, Parashat Tzav reminds us of the enduring flame—“a perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar, it shall not go out” (Leviticus 6:6).

Answering the Call

April 4, 2025 by Joanne Fink

Reflect, Remember & Retell Parashat Vayikra | Leviticus 1:1–5:26 This week we begin the Book of Leviticus with a single word: “Vayikra”—And [God] called to Moses… (Leviticus 1:1) This quiet call marks a turning point. After the thunder and fire of Mount Sinai, God now speaks in a softer voice—intimate, direct, and deeply personal. As I […]

A Transformational Journey Purim and Parashat Ki Tisa: Two Stories of Transformation This week, we find ourselves between two powerful narratives—one from the Torah and one from Jewish history—that teach us about resilience, renewal, and stepping into our purpose. Meeting This Moment with Compassion Whether we see ourselves in the Israelites who made a mistake and needed […]

Invitation to Dwell

March 7, 2025 by Joanne Fink

As I read the Torah portion each week, I look for something that inspires me to illuminate God’s word. In Parashat Tetzaveh, I was drawn to a verse nestled between the lengthy description of the holy garments worn by the priests and the detailed instructions for making the altar: I love this verse because it reminds me that God is […]
