Elul Unbound 2019: Torah
Each Wednesday of Elul, during this year’s Elul Unbound, we will be connecting the weekly Torah portion to themes of the month of Elul. When we do, a video and resource sheet for each Torah portion will appear below.
Week One: Shoftim
The Torah tell us "Justice, JUSTICE shall you pursue". To beat us over the head with a point, or to tell us something more? Join Rabbi David Saperstein for a lesson in the rules of just being, and being just. -- This is Episode 48 of the weekly Torah cartoon from BimBam.com.
Week 2: Ki Teitzei
A mitzvah is a commandment, and this week's parsha is chock full of them - over 70 mitzvahs all told! -- Jeremy Benstein is an Israeli environmental leader who is our guide into Ki Teitzei this week.
Week 3: Ki Tavo
How can we think about our relationship with God? Check out this week's Torah portion! -- Thinking about the covenant between the People and God can be hard and sometimes alienating...so Rav Raz Hartman and Leah Hartman - the Jerusalem couple who narrate this week's parsha - describe it like a joyful marriage.
