I am wondering if you can relate. Every morning, when I open up my yogurt for breakfast, I find myself doing one of two things. Either I find myself wiping the exploded yogurt off my jacket on a good day, or out of my eye on a bad day. Some times I feel like the yogurt has a mind of its own.

What does this have anything to do with Parshas Vayishlach.

Read MoreBe honest, somewhere in your house there is a mysterious light switch that you have no idea what it connects to. Don’t worry, you are not alone. I am almost positive that every house that ever existed has one of these light switches that does not work and no one knows what in the world it connects to. For all you know, it is extremely possible that every time you turn that mysterious light switch on in your home, it is actually causing wind turbines to spin in central Indonesia, allowing the local village residents to have proper electricity. However, little do you know that every time you innocently flip the switch off in your home, you are causing these turbines to stop spinning, thus causing tremendous havoc in that village in central Indonesia.

Read MoreOn a recent visit to the local Baltimore Zoo, there was one particular incident that stuck out to me. I was watching the gigantic rhinoceroses when a young girl standing nearby proclaimed: “Oh my gosh, the rhino is bigger than my father!”

Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equivalent to the weight of the dirt, or 700 pounds!
Read MoreSeveral years ago, a reporter sat down with Tom Brady – legendary NFL quarterback - and asked him the following: “So Tom, you probably are extremely happy, you have everything anyone could ever dream about, is that right?” This interview took place at the time when Tom Brady had already won 3 Super Bowls, received a 16-million-dollar contract, and was the face of the NFL.
Read MoreOne of the permitted areas of Torah study on Tisha Be’av is the Gemara in Gittin (55-6) which discusses the famous story of Kamtza Bar Kamtza. During the times of the Bais Hamikdash, there was a certain Jew who made a large banquet and by mistake, instead of inviting Kamtza (his friend), the attendant invited Bar Kamtza (his enemy). In short, as Bar Kamtza was sitting at the banquet, the Jewish host picked him up and threw him out. Bar Kamtza was so upset and he ultimately incited the Roman government against the Jews, and the rest was history: The Bais Hamikdash was ultimately destroyed.
