At first glance I thought I had the most boring parshah of them all. On the face of it the entire thing is just a long list of directions for how to build a Tabernacle.

Introduction to Jonah
Once I was at a Bible study class, and the rabbi said to turn to a certain page. One person opened the book and happened to turn to exactly the right spot. The rabbi exclaimed in annoyance, 'Why does that only happen to those who are just becoming observant!"

Tolstoy begins Anna Karenina with the observation: "All happy families resemble one another, all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way." And then, of course, he proceeds to write a novel about an unhappy family, since they're far more interesting than the happy ones.

Why, on Rosh Hashanah, do we tell the stories of our mothers - Sarah, Hannah, even Hagar?
The Talmud teaches that on this day, God heard the cries of our Matriarchs, gave them life. And just as God remembered our Mothers favorably on Rosh Hashanah, so we pray that God will hear our cries, remember us favorably, and sustain us for the coming year.

Shabbat Shalom, Chag Sameach and howdy-
In between eating honey and giggling in the ladies lounge, self-exploration is what Rosh HaShana is all about. I've got a few questions I've been wondering about lately, I don't know the answers to these questions but I think they're important ones to ask. Especially at Rosh Hashana where the focus is on tshuva. Self-exploration is the beginning of tshuvah.
My first big question is: How do I know who I am? I need to know who I am before I decide who I want to become.
