Rabbi Neal Joseph Loevinger

Spirituality Never Stops

The connections between building the Tabernacle and Yom Kippur reminds us that all aspects of our spirituality are connected.

Critiquing Our Leadership

While it's easy to complain about poor leadership, Parashat Mishpatim challenges us to critique from a committed, engaged perspective.

Portable Holiness

Holiness derives from encounters with God in Torah study; it is not intrinsic to locations like Mount Sinai.

The Test Of The Manna

The manna tested the character of the newly freed Israelites.

Body And Soul Religion

Thought and internal spirituality still require physical action in order to deepen one's religious experience.

Don’t Just Stand There — Do Something!

Fear paralyzes us, rendering us incapable of addressing our most pressing problems.

The Redemption of Judah

Judah's plea to Joseph is a sign of his personal growth and ability to empathize with his father's grief.

Seeing The Ram

The miracle of the ram caught in the bushes was that, in the final moment, Abraham was able to perceive it as an alternative to sacrificing his son.
