THE VERSE SAYS, “Chochmah m’ayin timatzei—Wisdom, where can it be found?” (Iyov 28:12). But it is one of those beautifully short and seemingly simple verses that, in the world of Kabbalah, speaks universes…and then some. This one is literally the foundation of all of Creation and life.
RASHI LAST WEEK brought a disagreement about the basis of Noach’s name:
BY NOW, IF you have been reading what I have written over the years, you know that the Creation story that we begin with is the middle of the movie.
THE END OF the Torah also means the end of Moshe Rabbeinu’s life. Everyone knows that he was a great person, but it is worth adding a few more words about just how great he was.
On one hand, what’s the big deal? I do that every week when I write on Sunday for Shabbos, or even for next week already. We’re constantly making plans today for tomorrow. Nothing seems futuristic about that other than the fact that we’re planning for the future.
