Yom Kippur

This week's parsha begins with a pasuk that seems very superfluous. Why is it structured the way it is?

God tells Avram to leave the only land he has ever known and follow Him to an unknown land. How does the fact that God tells Avram to Lech, walk, teach us about our own lives?

Why does God destroy the generation of Noach but not the generation of the Towel of Babel?

How is the creation of the world repeated on a daily basis?

What are we celebrating on Shmini Atzeret/Simchat Torah? Let's learn about the nature of this chag through a song that we sing on Simchat Torah:Ata Horeita LaDaat

Here are some themes that are in the davening of Yom Kippur.

In this week's Parsha, we are told to return to God. We are told that God will remove the covering of our hearts. Why does God have to do it when we were told previously that it's up to us to do it?

Moshe tells the people to Listen, because on This Day they became a nation. This day hints to 2 days in the Jewish calendar, Shabbat and Rosh Hashana. On both of these days we renew our convenental relationship with God.

Why are we commanded to build a fence on our roof? What lesson can we learn from this mitzvah?

Why are we told to pursue justice twice in thia week's parsha and how does it connect to the month of Elul?
