Vayera 5772: The Good, The Bad and the Very Ugly

Please know that if I miss a week here and there, there are always last year's podcasts to go back to.  They are not the same sound quality and perhaps even the content might not be as good...but I hope they might serve as guides when life gets in the way and I cannot podcast.

The story of Sodom and Gommorah which we read in this week's parasha is full of very ugly and disturbing images.  I did highlight a few of them but as this is a public podcast, I was very "delicate" in describing the images so that innocent ears who hear the podcast won't hear anything too shocking.


Enjoy!

The Cave by Composer Steve Reich and Beryl Korot is a wonderful performance piece delving into the meaning and imagery of the Cave of Machepelah and its importance to our world today. http://www.stevereich.com.
