In Judaism, we read one parsha (section) in the Torah (Bible) in Synagogue (Shul) each week, completing the entire Torah once every year. Jews all over the world learn and study the weekly parsha and then share their thoughts and understandings with family, friends, and guests around the Shabbos table Friday night and Saturday day.
Unfortunately, though, our multiple daily responsibilities and obligations pull us in so many different directions that often times its difficult to find the time necessary to do this learning. Modern life is busy and competes for our attention and concentration.
This blog is intended to share some thoughts and ideas on the weekly parsha from the classical commentaries on the Torah. I intend to keep the posts shorter rather than longer and simpler rather than complex for ease of reading and understanding.
Please enjoy the posts, share them at your Shabbos tables, and give me feedback if you think I can improve the blog.

I enjoy this blog. It is good it is simple, because in it's richness I could digest no more at one sitting.
