Portion Commentary
Ordinary Life
Thought for the Week:

When Moses saw the burning bush, he turned aside to investigate. Only then did the Holy One reveal Himself to Moses. Our problem is that we do not take the time to turn aside and investigate. We all intend to grow spiritually. We all imagine that one day, we will take time to study, take time to grow in Torah, to do a mitzvah (commandment), to pray regularly. But you can’t take good intentions to the grave.
