 Anything to excess is not good for us. Too much anger can ruin a relationship as can an excess of kindness. Overeating is harmful, but an over- preoccupation with becoming slender can lead to anorexia. As Maimonides said, one must live a balanced life, steering the middle path between too much or too little of anything. All this is easier said than done, and for many of us the battle to keep on track is ongoing. The key is to understand where the potential for excess come from and for this we must understand how excess works vis-à-vis G-d.

In this weeks Torah portion we read a sequence of three seemingly random and unrelated verses. Firstly it states, “If a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not wrong him. But the stranger who dwells with you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your G-d.” Recommend this article... |

In this week’s Torah portion we read (Deuteronomy 14:1) how Moses tells the children of Israel: ‘you are children of G-d your Lord. Do not mutilate yourselves, and do not make a bald patch in the middle of your head as a sign of mourning. You are a nation consecrated to G-d your Lord. G-d has chosen you from all nations on the face of the earth to be His own special nation.’ Recommend this article... |

Radicals and radicalisation are the words on everyone’s lips. People are trying to understand the process of how normal people become radicalised to the extent that they become suicide bombers. They therefore talk about radicalisation as if it is always a terrible thing. The truth is however that anyone who becomes enthusiastic enough about a cause can become radical – is radicalism really a bad thing? Recommend this article... |
