Torah in Motion

Torah in Motion Torah in Motion is expanding the horizons of Jewish thought for more than 20 years.

Torah in Motion creates a framework for dialogue among Jews of all ages and backgrounds. Together with some of the Jewish world’s best leadership, program participants examine today’s challenging issues. We initiate a "conversation" – through either personal attendance or electronically – where we can enrich our lives with knowledge and understanding of Judaism’s role in contemporary society. All our actions – our planning, programs, and materials – are facilitated by the internationally-recognized experts and scholars who comprise our faculty and roster of guest speakers. These brilliant minds come to our communities through both face-to-face and on-line programs which are rooted in:

* The study of Torah
* Jewish law and tradition
* The desire to cultivate spirituality
* Intellectual openness and critical thinking
* Love and respect for all Jews
* The centrality of the Land and State of Israel
* Adherence to the highest ethical standards

We offer learning opportunities through travel as well as daily and weekly thoughts and classes on relevant Jewish themes online and in person

Selichot: New Apologies

Today's Episode:
מִי שֶׁעָנָה: May our Prayers be answered

In this piyyut said whenever selichot are recited we ask G-d to answer our prayers just as he answered the prayers of our Biblical ancestors from Avraham to Mordechai and Esther. Fascinatingly, for many of those mentioned there is no indication in the text that they actually prayed.

Selichot: New Apologies

Today's Episode:
אִמַּנְתָּ מֵאָז: You Taught us to Approach you in Prayer

Drawing on the notion that the Ten Days of Repentance were created even before the world came into being, the poet urges us to take advantage of this special time when our prayers for forgiveness are more readily accepted.

Selichot: New Apologies

Today's Episode:
Erev Rosh Hashanah אָדָם אֵיךְ יִזְכֶּה: How Can Man Merit

In this selicha for the eve of Rosh Hashanah we assert how death awaits us all (or do you prefer “we confront the inevitability of death”), yet through prayer and tzedakah, we can be amongst the righteous who even in death live on.

Selichot: New Apologies

Today's Episode:
אִוִּיתִיךָ קִוִּיתִיךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מֶרְחַקִּים: I Yearn for You from Afar

This selicha challenges us to confront the question, do we truly yearn for G-d and recognize that it is more important to find Him in the marketplace than in our houses of prayer.

Selichot: New Apologies

Today's Episode:
אֲנִי יוֹם אִירָא: I Dread this Day

In this anti-Christian polemic, we ask G-d to punish those who persecuted us for refusing to replace our G-d with the god of the one who was crucified. The steadfast refusal of the Jewish people to do so is to our eternal merit.
