WEDNESDAY WISDOM:
from: Rabbi Chananya ben Akashya
Source is infinite. The infinite includes the finite.
For the finite to know the infinite.
Source fashions the human mind.
To cultivate the mind, Source reveals Truth,
pointing the finite back to the inifinite.
To bring Truth to humankind,
Source creates sages who carry it into the world.
The sages of Israel carry it as Torah.
To carry Torah into the world,
the sages ordain mitzvot:
Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly.
Mitzvot and Torah are the gifts of Source
given to the world through the sages of Israel.
We honor the gift by living it ourselves.
Parshat Naso is the longest single parsha in the Torah, clocking in at 176 verses. That’s Torah’s way of saying, “Hey, you might want to take a long , serious and contemplative look at what you’re about to learn.”

Three years ago I put out a video asking the question - “Another American Civil War Coming?” A link to that video is posted in the description of this video. That was in September 2022. Now it is August 2025. Has my opinion changed, and if so in what way and why?
