Parashat Vayikra set out a hierarchy of sin offerings. In order, a bull for the priest, a male goat for a chieftain, otherwise a female goat. But this is backward - female livestock are worth more than male livestock. You don't need many males. Anyone have an explanation?

I acknowledge your point, and it's a pertinent one. It's a good thing Israel isn't the only country which borders Gaza. Hopefully they can increase the aid which pours over the border from Egypt. There is stuff which comes from the other country they share a border with, right?

How do we, as leaders, teach our communities to help hold what needs holding? How do we educate people on how to participate fully in community, in a Western society which values the individual as more important? How do we move from a pay for service model?

I read it as, they moved towards Egypt as a feint to keep Pharaoh thinking they were coming back. But then it became obvious they weren't really coming back

The only thing that can stop a bad man with a trebuchet is a good man with a trebuchet. On higher ground. With better aim. And prep time.

Yes, this. We can only act in the present, no matter where we've come from. Take lessons from the past, but don't try to live there

Born in Budapest, the abstractly organic shapes of Eva Zeisel’s iconic pottery are featured in the MoMA. She experimented with feminine imagery and shapes within her pottery and became iconic for this style.

Aggressive reinforcement of gender roles goes hand in hand with transphobia. And is also historically the first move of fascism.

Are you a Jacques Cousteau talmudist or a Robert Ballard talmudist?

Subversive Torah is Torah. Talmud is littered with subversive readings
