Morasha

Each month at Rosh Hodesh, Rabbi Dweck will submit a piece of literature to the community. It will be emailed as well as accessible through this page.

All Hebrew selections will be translated into English. With each selection there will be guiding points for discussion and questions for consideration. You may engage with the text on any level you wish. One can search for further related texts and develop the ideas or simply read and understand it as it stands. Bring them up at your Friday night dinner tables! Share them with your friends. Discuss them with other community members. Towards the end of the month I will give a lecture on the piece and answer select questions submitted in advance about it. This joint endeavour will not only help strengthen our collective consciousness as a community, but also our unity. We will all literally be on the same page, thinking of the same issues, together.
