Joshua 2022-23, Chapters 18-19

Tim, drawing from a teaching of Grant’s, walks through the “spiritual geography” of the land of Israel with the help of a graphic he created (download the graphic below). In the parsha teaching, David focuses the topics of the numbers “7” and “8,” working on the nephesh during the Omer, and “misplaced zeal.”       […]

Vayakhel 2022

This year’s Vayakhel teaching is all about two words and their associated Hebrew letters: fire and water, shin and mem. We think of fire and water as opposites and say, “fire and water don’t mix;” in the natural, this is true, but our God is supernatural, and He calls us to live beyond nature, as […]

Shemot 2021

“Shemot” means “names,” and we look at the Hebrew for several names in this week’s teaching. Before we do so, we ask the question, “Why did Israel have to go down to Egypt?” Other topics include four uses of the phrase “on the stones” and the “deep” subject of four men who meet four women […]

The Menorah of Jonah and Ruth

In this special Yom Kippur teaching, we look at the books of Jonah and Ruth as “sister” books, two halves of a menorah. Though we find many similarities, we also find stark contrasts rooted in the two central characters – Jonah, a willful Jewish prophet, and Ruth, a yielded Gentile widow. Join us as we […]

Toldot 2018-19

We begin this cycle’s parshah Toldot teaching with a brief look at how the Torah goes far beyond what a human would design for a religious book with its unexpected collections of stories and geneologies and building plans — all layered with unending levels of meaning. With that introduction, we discuss the interesting story of […]

Genesis 2b

Join Beth Tikkun as we continue our new series called The Torah Project.

These have […]

Join Beth Tikkun as we continue our study of the Haftarah portions for the 2013-14 Torah cycle. In this teaching we analyze the souls of Jacob and Esau and see how they represent two warring drives within each of us. Then in Malachi’s prophecy we see what happens when the spirit of Esau infects a […]
