Summary |
The Torah is intended to be relevant and current in every generation. Each time we sit down and learn תורה we’re supposed to be able to see new things. It’s incredible that we can find meaning in the תורה for today in the words given thousands of years ago.

Summary |
Have you ever run away from something? Have you ever hidden something? Perhaps you’ve looked the other way or denied something that was true? These are natural human instincts we each have.
