TORAH SPARKS
Torah Sparks
Welcome to Torah Sparks! Sign up for weekly Parashat HaShavua articles, videos, poems, and more, brought to you by the Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center.
Open your inbox every Tuesday to read insightful and thought-provoking commentary from our faculty on the weekly Torah portion. Torah Sparks includes the following:
- D’var Torah – Original interpretations on the weekly Torah Portion by the CY’s Mid-Atlantic Faculty-in-Residence, Bex Stern Rosenblatt.
- Exploring the Parashah – Video by CY graduate and Senior Educator at the Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center Jonathan Lipnick, who explores an often neglected aspect of the parashah:
geography. - Midrash and the Parashah – Rabbi Joshua Kulp reflects on a single midrash on a
specific verse or part of a verse from the parashah. - White Fire: Poetry on the Parashah – Ilana Kurshan, CY faculty member and award-winning author of “If All the Seas Were Ink,” tries to illuminate the white fire of Torah – the midrashim, stories, and interpretations that carve out the negative space of the letters and give them shape.
