Causes-The Virtual Golden Calf
What I am about to say is somewhat objectionable, but that’s fine. Anyone who doesn’t want their sensibilities challenged a bit is probably not going to read a Torah web site anyway. I’m not saying everyone who does wants it, … Continue reading

The Toxicity of the Israeli Elections-Parshat BeShalah 2013
