Taller On The Inside
By
Rabbi Deborah Silver
Rabbi Deborah Silver
The High Holyday liturgy is full of images of emptiness and abasement, as if to tell us, “You got nothing.” How does this week’s parashah, always read just before the High Holydays, put itself into conversation with Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur?

Read it Both Ways
Ki Tavo offers a theology of reward and punishment, of cause and effect, but lived experience teaches us that the world does not work so neatly. What becomes possible when we read the parashah forwards and backwards, not only as protest against injustice, but also as a guide to rebuilding a shattered world?

Rabbi Sharon Brous and Daniela Gerson discuss “The Wanderers”
Part genealogical detective story, part gripping history, part
contemporary reporting on war-torn territories, The Wanderers – A Story of Exile, Survival, and Unexpected Love in the Shadow of World War II, chronicles Daniela’s journey to unearth this past and reveal its echoes in still-contested lands from Ukraine to Israel.
