WRJ Voices: Korach

Every summer my husband and I take a bicycling trip. It has provided an opportunity for us to see parts of the world we would not have otherwise visited, while remaining active.

WRJ Voices: Sh'lach L'cha

Judy Wexler

I grew up in a fairly traditional Jewish family, and I became a Bat Mitzvah at the age of 13. When my synagogue initially told me that I would not be allowed to read from the Torah, I had my first moment of recognition of what I considered injustice.

WRJ Voices: Pinchas

This week’s parashah, Pinchas, addresses the census taken as the Israelites were poised to enter the Promised Land. With a few exceptions, the census lists only men. However, it does mention Zelophehad’s daughters, as he had no sons.
