Rabbi David's latest, on claiming the gift of foresight – a special for this week of Dr. King on the secular calendar and the journey of liberation in our Torah portion.

How do we perceive the world – as it is becoming ... or as a projection of ourselves? How do we perceive the future? Do we see the future merely continuing a past or present, or brimming with...

The latest Torah teaching from R. David: "On Tyranny and Spiritual Response"

The Exodus story resounds through time as the first liberation narrative of Western civilization. It drives Jewish identity. It calls us into lives of empathy and social justice. It shaped...

Sometimes received religious traditions fail to hear the voice of suffering. Even worse, received traditions can suppress the voice of suffering. It happens because every religion, by definition, titrates high principle through inherently limited and flawed human capacity. What is our duty in response?

Rabbi David's latest – on what humility is really all about, for Congregation Shir Ami.

Open any Torah and you'll see in the first word of Leviticus a letter written in tiny superscript. It teaches us about what healthy humility is really all about.

As our Northern Hemisphere enters the weeks of fastest increasing daylight and we accelerate into the oncoming spring (not a moment too soon!), this week's Torah portion opens with a command to make eternal light.

The command aims at all of us, and the sudden absence of Moses underscores the message at this important moment.

The Judaism of tradition is full of laws. It's easy to get lost in the laws, miss their ultimate point and turn our backs. But societal moments that spotlight the rule of law often reveal grave risks when folks can accept or reject the role of law as they please. The point of law is to serve causes far beyond the individual. And spiritually speaking, the point of law's wise restraints that make us free is just that – a profound freedom of soul.

R. David's latest for Congregation Shir Ami.

Understood as they truly are, "holy" places can be the most ordinary ... until life, love, experience and memory change them into something more. Those places can transport us in memory and meaning, mind and heart – if we let them.

R. David's latest for Congregation Shir Ami

What we call spiritual places, holy sites, are more than our consecrated houses of worship or historical touch points. Understood as they truly are, "holy" places can be the most ordinary ... until...
