Terumah and Jewish Mexico
Briyah is in Queens and Michael is in Mexico. Sounds about right! Mexico is full of pyramids and magnificent colors.This week's Parsha is Terumah, in which Hashem tells Moses to gather donated materials from the Israelites so that they may build a Mishkan, a dwelling place for Hashem. At first, it seems this parsha is a bit boring because of all the details instruction. But actually it is filled with beauty and gemstones. Hashem adores us so much and knows we need this for ourselves so that we may learn to give from our entire beings.Thank you, Hashem! And thank you for listening to our Podcast.Shabbat Shalom

Mishpatim If You're Into That Sort of Thing
The Torah takes a turn this week because Hashem gives us many laws to follow! Laws about slaves, festivals, treating strangers with kindness, and sacrificial offerings. It's all in here. Do you hate your in-laws? There's probably a law for that too. Come along for the ride as Michael and Briyah break down some of these mishpatim and why they matter.Also, check out Sunset Boulevard on Broadway. It's...killer.
