Researching and writing this blog is one of my greatest pleasures. But sightseeing in Europe outshines even that, and I have the good fortune to spend the next month in France and Italy. I am not even bringing my laptop!
To read about the Torah portion of the week, or the themes of the upcoming Jewish holy days, you can click on these links to some blog posts I wrote after our 2019 trip to Europe:
For the week ending Sept. 28: Vayeilekh: Two Messages.
For Rosh Hashanah, Oct. 2-4: Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur: Our Father, Our King.
For Yom Kippur, Oct. 11-12: Psalm 130 & Yom Kippur: Waiting for Forgiveness.
For Sukkot, Oct. 16-23: Sukkot: Rootless.
For the week ending Oct. 26: Bereishit: How Many Gods?
For the week ending Nov. 2: Noach: Responses to Trauma.
After November 2, I’ll return to the pleasure of writing my blog at home!
