Every year, we read the entire Torah, one portion per week. Every year we find ourselves, our troubles and our victories, our hopes and our dreams, reflected in the text. Hadar produces weekly podcasts and essays on the parashah. In previous years, these Divrei Torah have been written by Rabbi Shai Held, Rabbi Ethan Tucker, Rabbi Avital Hochstein, Dena Weiss, Rabbi Yitz Greenberg, and Rabbi Aviva Richman. This year, Rabbi Elie Kaunfer is writing Hadar's weekly Dvar Torah, exploring the roots of Jewish prayer in the parashah and drawing out connections between and offering new insights into the relationship between these sets of texts.
