Shalom in the Storm
by Rabbi Eric Carlson on August 14th, 2025
Week after week (I feel like a broken record) our condition as a nation continues to worsen! Unbelievable we go from one crisis to the next without relent. There are numerous warnings telling us to prepare and brace ourselves as drought, famine, hyper-inflation, chaos, and anarchy will worsen. We see biblical examples of this in scripture. Israel, like America had received warnings! The Assyrians... Read More

Diversity
by Rabbi Eric Carlson on August 14th, 2025
I’ve read many, many articles recently that discuss diversity as a strength in America! I want to speak to this as it is false and I’m going to share why. The term diversity is a noun, it means the state or fact of being diverse; difference; unlikeness: dissimilar. Some of the tenant understandings of the term Diversity are ok! We are a diverse nation made up of people from many backgrounds an... Read More

Rabbi & Rebbetzin's Corner January 2023

Shalom Mishpocha, Happy New Year! We have entered into the Gregorian Calendar year of 2023. The 1st of Nisan (the Biblical New Year) begins at sunset, Wednesday March 22nd 2023 beginning the year 5783. As we move into a new year one of the meanings of 5783 is the year of retribution.

Why Is Torah For Today?
by Rabbi Eric Carlson on August 14th, 2025
There are 613 commandments in the Torah: 248 positive commands (what we should do); and 365 negative commands (what we should not do). According to rabbinical reckoning, the 248 positive commands correspond to the number of separate parts of our body and 365 negative commands correspond to the number of days throughout a year.

Hanukkah
by Rabbi Eric Carlson on August 14th, 2025
The story of Hanukkah begins in the reign of Alexander the Great. Alexander conquered Syria, Egypt, and Judah in 332 B.C.E. Alexander the Great allowed the lands under his control to continue observing their own religions and retain a certain degree of autonomy. Under this relatively benevolent rule, many Jews assimilated to much of Hellenistic culture, adopting the language, the customs and the d... Read More
What is Shabbat
by Rabbi Eric Carlson on August 14th, 2025
Why do we enter into and Keep Shabbat? Shabbat is our weekly Moedim, a divine appointment, a feast with God. It is the time that we lay down everything from the week and world, all of our concerns, worries, and stress. All the things that we have allowed to occupy our time during the week and enter into God's rest to minister to and worship Him. God knew we needed rest and without all the distr... Read More
