A glass of wine at the end of the day can be a blessing – or a curse. Here’s what this week’s Torah portion has to say about it.

How might we bring more gratitude to our days? In this week’s parsha, we learn an ancient, formal way of saying thanks – and how we might adapt it for modern life.

Do we have the ability to make our own decisions? Or will we always be subject to the forces of nature, nurture, and circumstance? Ruchi Koval explores the wisdom of Jewish thinkers in search of answers.
