I am off for a few weeks, and not posting. However, I did want to note a change in the most recent sermon title. My friend Rav Roy Tanenbaum commented that the word "terrible" did not really apply to the text, and gave it an inappropriate slant. Since these texts are first and foremost Hebrew, I felt he was right in his note. Hence the title has been changed to "Challenging Texts".
I took the original idea from a book by Phyllis Tribble, about women in the Bible, called "Texts of Terror". Clearly, using the word "terrible" here didn't work! Thanks Roy, for all your assistance in this sermon.
