פָּרָשַׁת כִּי תֵּצֵא: זְכִירַת עֲמָלֵק בַּזְּמַן הַזֶּה

The richie-rich network in action

Bittersweet - A Glorious Geulah, but a depressed Jewish People scarred by their sufferings in galus

The Institutions (Monarchy, Judiciary, Priesthood) vs. Prophecy, which is individualized

When all Jews with influence (unlike today) joined together for the sake of Klal Yisroel

אֲנִי לְדוֹדִי וְדוֹדִי לִי - Is that בֵּין אָדָם לַמָּקוֹם? Or בֵּין אָדָם לַחֲבֵרוֹ?

Isaiah foresees a world without terrorism! 

What is the historical context of prayer at the time of R' Shimon bar Yochai?

The Two Mountains and Moral Clarity

The attempt to revive a Jewish "church" and why it was destined to fail when the Jews were in גלות

The strange world of the Marranos who were seriously into Kabbalah

Underconfidence, Overconfidence, and Smug Self-Righteousness

By The times of the Messiah, most Jews will have given up on Geulah

Did the "shidduch system" break down? When? Why?

R' Samson Raphael Hirsch vs. R' Chaim Brisker?

Moshe changes some of the wording to fit his audience, who were not present at the Revelation on Sinai 

The happy aspect of the Messianic Process (unlike other parts of the Bible)

What's with the references to Peor, Bais Peor and Baal Peor? The chink in the armor of Klal Yisroel
