Bereishis: Light and Darkness in Confusion
Bereishis: Light and Darkness in Confusion # CA 001
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
G-d created light and darkness as one entity, but He subsequently separated them - which mirrors the human state when we were first created. Although we may be loathe to admit it, we recognize the inherent contradictions and rationalizations that vie for space in our minds, along with the good and evil within our heart. The Jewish concept of light and darkness can help us better understand our inner confusion, and the wisdom given in order to deal with it.

Toldos: Changing One's Negative Disposition
Toldos: Changing One's Negative Disposition # CA 006 A
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
As women will testify, pregnancy is no picnic – but Rivkah’s term was a super trial where each twin tried to break out when she passed houses of worship of their respective interests. Doesn’t it appear from the narrative that their natures’ were predestined? But in light of our having free will, how can this be? And how did Yaacov complete the process of building upon his father’s character, while Esav swerved to the other extreme?

Vayeitzei: Majority Rules
Vayeitzei: Majority Rules # CA 007 A
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
Lavan – a saint or a villain? In most instances he seems to be the money hungry swindler, but some of his actions make us wonder if we are not being shown his positive side. In what ways can we get a peek at his true motivations? Rabbi Carmell explains the rule of judging everything according to the majority, which applies to Lavan, as well as his righteous daughter Rachel.

Vayeishev: The Motivation for Hatred # CA 009 A
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
The brothers were men of such piety and integrity that they even ‘convinced’ G-d to go along with their plan to sell Yosef. And yet we are told that it wasn’t the correct action to take. How can we understand the brothers’ underlying motivation of hatred that even they were in the dark about?

Mikeitz: A Flame Which Can't Be Extinguished # CA 010 A
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
Pharoah’s dream of the skinny cows swallowing the fat cows reads far deeper than it’s storybook narrative. Rabbi Carmell peels away a few layers to reveal truths about how good can never die.

Vayigash: The Importance of Beginnings
Vayigash: The Importance of Beginnings # CA 011 A
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
The fast day of the 10th of Tevet is to remind us of an historic siege around Jerusalem. But shouldn't that event pale in significance to when Jerusalem and the Holy Temple were totally destroyed? Rabbi Carmell helps us understand the full impact of small beginnings, and how we can acquire a sense for events in our lives that could start a giant chain of cause and effects - for our good or bad.

Vayechi: Yosef's Sons
Vayechi: Yosef's Sons # CA 012 A
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
Menashe was a diplomat who served the Egyptian government. His younger brother Ephraim studied the whole day. Wouldn’t Menashe's management skills make him a more natural leader then his brother? Why were Ephraim and his descendants given the position, and what is the close connection between great deeds and great Torah learning?

Va'eira: The Level of Our Choice
Va'eira: The Level of Our Choice # CA 014
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
Contrary to the classic understanding, Rabbi Carmell posts that G-d didn’t actually revoke Pharoah’s right to free will by hardening his heart. That despot succeeded in turning himself to stone by exercising his power of choice to grow more stubbornly evil. This valuable class gives a clear understanding of bechirah and how all people can move their point of free will progressively closer to or further from G-d.

Beshalach: How Bitter Sweetens Bitter
Beshalach: How Bitter Sweetens Bitter # CA 016 A
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
Moshe’s paradoxical sweetening of the bitter waters with a piece of bitter wood hold a tenet of life that helps us understand the travails the Jews faced in their travels, and our own individual struggles. What is the point of G-d testing us at all – especially seeing that we are so often not equal to the task? And how does the unpleasantness help develop our potential energies and greatness despite our failure?

Yisro: Israel and the Nations
Yisro: Israel and the Nations # CA 017 A
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
The Nation of Israel agreement to accept the Torah without even first knowing what was contained within it is lauded for the degree of devotion it shows. But the more rational response given by the rest of the world portrays a far more responsible approach. Rabbi Carmell develops this difference of thought and the root it stems from, and proves how our belief in G-d’s total understanding is part of what helps us be so single minded in our study and practice of His word.

Mishpatim: Consciousness of Value
Mishpatim: Consciousness of Value # CA 018 A
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
The value of a country's justice system's stands or falls on their treatment of two classes of people - criminals, and the poor. We know that the Torah abolished class distinction by upholding an unwavering respect for human life regardless of who the person is. If so, isn't it strange that the Torah begin its legal code with the laws about Jewish slaves, and a destitute father who is forced to sell his daughter into servitude?

Terumah: The Unity Principle
Terumah: The Unity Principle # CA 019 A
by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
The makeup of the mishkan was comprised of gold, silver, and copper, each in specific areas. Why not use only gold, the most precious of the three? Rabbi Carnell delineates the deepest aspects of these materials, and how they relate to human desire and perfection, as well as finding the unifying principle that holds them all together.

by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh

What is the secret of the purity that comes from the ashes of the Red Heifer, and how was it a direct response to the tragic sin of the Golden Calf? Rabbi Carmell delves into the underlying desire that pushed the Jews toward creating this representative of G-d, and how dealing with the stark reality of life and death, and the subsequent sprinkling with the waters gives a perspective on purity.

by Carmell, Rabbi Aryeh
G-d created the world in order to be a part of it. Seven generations of evil pushed G-d upward into the heavens, and seven righteous ones pulled Him back. The process ended with the Mishkan being built as the house of G-d. But what is the deeper symbolism of G-d living in our midst?

Pekudei/Shekalim: Danger of Counting / Adar # CA 023

The half shekel was designated to represent the soul of each man in Israel. Why was such an insignificant coin used to symbolize the infinite human soul? And why aren't Jews numbered by a headcount? Rabbi Carmell expounds on the power of the chatzi shekel, on its ability to shield us from ayin hara, and how it ties to the month of Adar.

In the 21st century, sacrificial offerings seem horrifyingly barbaric. Is there any lasting value to them as a form of worshipping the Divine?

The death of the two righteous sons of Aharon is a hard even to comprehend. Their actions stemmed from such pure intent, how could they have discovered the inappropriateness of it underneath the glow of holiness? Having a higher, objective point of view is an indispensable tool with which to evaluate our actions, and Rabbi Carmell teaches how to cultivate it.

What does tzaraas have to do with the holiday of Pesach around which we read this parsha besides for a lowly strain of hyssop grass? Rabbi Carmell weaves a powerful picture of faith and miracles, and humility is the thread that holds them all together.
