Mitzvot! Mitzvot!

What are mitzvot?  Commandments!  This week’s parshah contains more mitzvot than any other.  Some of these instructions apply to going to war.  How are they also applicable to us today?

Eye for an Eye

When G-d says to take an “eye for eye”, is he condoning violence?  Quite the contrary!  He is limiting the escalation of violence that is often commonplace with those seeking revenge.  How should we as believers react when we are wronged?  How are we to treat those that despise us?  Listen to today’s drash to find out.

Be Prepared

This past week we mourned the loss of Jordan Griner, who attended Congregation Beth Shalom before leaving Augusta to attend school at the University of Georgia.  No one was prepared for, or even thought that someone Jordan’s age would be taken from our midst.  How can we be prepared for such an event in our lives?  What can we learn from this tragedy?
