I wrote a (highly transgressive) midrash on Yosef, as we leave the Bereishit crew for 5786: dee42moore.substack.com/p/yosef

Parashat Vayikra set out a hierarchy of sin offerings. In order, a bull for the priest, a male goat for a chieftain, otherwise a female goat. But this is backward - female livestock are worth more than male livestock. You don't need many males. Anyone have an explanation?

Losing trust in institutions and/or the people leading them makes hard times a lot harder. Things just become so unmanageable when the people and institutions that are supposed to be trustworthy aren't. #ParshaChat

One spiritual skill is the ability to say “I don’t know.” Because it’s the truth. We do not know how things will unfold. When you allow yourself to “not know” you open up to being surprised. Personally & politically.

Morning poem #Awe” by James Crews is gorgeous. Take a moment to breathe it in - and may it inspire all of us find these tiny bits of awe today. #poetry

James Crews
AWE
It's a shiver that climbs the trellis of the spine, each tingle a bright white morning glory breaking into blossom beneath the skin. It can happen anywhere, anytime, even finding this sleeve of ice worn by a branch all morning, now fallen on a bed of snow. You can choose to pause, pick it up, hold the cold thing in your hand or not. Few tell us that wonder and awe are decisions we make daily, hourly, minute by minute in the tiny offices of the heart-tilting the head to look up at every tree turned into a chandelier by light striking ice in just the right way,

A reminder that in Judaism there is no original sin. People aren't sinful & don't need "saving." People are considered blank slates. We have the capacity for great good & great harm. We are exhorted to live our best lives while making space for the fact that we will also make mistakes and do harm.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes

A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.
