David’s Corner – November 2, 2020
The Angel Connection Last week we looked at how an angel of HaShem, in the form of a man, caught up with Hagar and promised her scores of descendants, and a boy named Ishmael. Is such an angel HaShem’s way of interacting with man? When HaShem’s original covenant is made, however, HaShem seems to speak […]

David’s Corner – October 26, 2020
Sarai and Hagar (Genesis 16:1—16) Abram and Sarai are now old and Sarai has long not been able to bear Abram an heir. “Consort with my maid,” she says, hoping at least that if Hagar, the maid, has a male child, Abram will have an heir. Abram heeds her request (16:1-3). So Hagar conceives and […]
David’s Corner – October 19, 2020
Noach (Gen. 6:9-11:32) I love this strange story of the Tower of Babel. HaShem has gone to the trouble of drowning everyone but Noach and his family. Everyone who survived into the future thus must have been descendants from Noah’s family. As everyone at this point is one of Noah’s descendants, it stands to reason […]

David’s Corner – October 12, 2020
Genesis Thinking about Genesis this week, has led me to ask five essential questions about the mystery of HaShem and his/her role in creation. Does HaShem ever wonder who HaShem is? This may sound like a flippant question, but it really isn’t. As human beings we’ve been granted the gift of consciousness. With that gift […]
