And with my commentary on B’resheet, I get about a one-month break from writing a Torah commentary every week! While the respite will indeed be a welcomed one, I am already studying for my next turn.
Normally that would come on November 7 with VaYera; this year, however, it will not be until November 28 with VaYetze. That’s because we’re having a combined service on November 7, so I won’t need to write one that week.
That means I have close to five weeks off now; time I can devote to other writing ventures. And then come back to Torah commentaries fresh and eager in about three weeks. The time to really study and pray deeper on one parashah will also be welcome!
The only down side is by the time I give my next Torah commentary, all of Minnesota will be likely covered in Christmas trees. Not a happy prospect for a Hanukkah celebrator such as myself, but oh well!
