It’s been quite a while since I’ve had the opportunity to do a Torah commentary; there’s a great rotation established at Sar Shalom already, so I’ve been able to kick back and listen to the study and scholarship of others for the last few months, since Beth Yeshua closed its doors.
However, I’ve been busy working on childrens’ materials, running the camcorder and various other duties on Shabbat, so I haven’t been completely lazy, either! However, that changes this week.
Stan asked me last Shabbat to fill in for a commentator who will be unavailable this weekend when his turn comes up; so I’ve already prepared a new commentary for the double-parashah portions of Tazriah and Metsora. It’s almost completely different (expect for a couple paragraphs) from the one I did at Beth Yeshua last year.
It will be fun to offer up a Torah commentary in front of a much larger crowd; at least some of the faces will be familiar friends from Beth Yeshua!
