Welcome

This week we are introducing a blog entitled "A Chassid and a Modern Orthodox Rabbi Answer a Litigator: What Does the Parsha Mean to Us?" on our website. As we study the parsha each week, we are often faced with difficult and often religiously problematic issues. Yet, where can we turn for a serious and thoughtful consideration of these issues. The answers can now be found in our blog. Each week Joel Cohen, an attorney who has written fictional accounts on a few challenging religious texts, will pose questions about the parsha. These questions will be addressed by Rabbi Adam Mintz, Modern Orthodox rabbi and one of the founders of Kehilat Rayim Ahuvim on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and Eli Popack, spiritual leader of the Beach Minyan in Westhampton Beach and son of the Chabad shliach in Cape Town, South Africa. We encourage your reactions and comments.
