Parshah Shemini: Frozen In Carbonite, Animated Videos and a Trip Down Memory Lane

April 2, 2013 By punktorah

We’re going in a new direction with our weekly Dvar Torah. Torah Video Mashup is going into the vault. Not the same vault that Disney threatens to put your favorite animated classics in. Rather, this is more like the carbonite that Han Solo was frozen in. Maybe Torah Video Mashup will return, maybe not. Depends on if Harrison Ford wants to do a third movie…just kidding.

Anyway.

Instead, we’re going to do the dvrei Torah as a roundup of our favorite videos, articles, podcasts and more. Of course, nepotism pays, so most of this will come from PunkTorah. But we’re also gonna give love to people throughout the web that are doing cool Hebrew Bible projects.

So here it goes: Parshah Shemini

Shemini teaches us how not to live in the wilderness but we have to choose to make that break and enter into a promised life. Circle Pit the Bimah

Don’t Mess With Success OR Why There Is No Torah Video Mashup For Tetzaveh

February 20, 2013 By punktorah

Parshah Tetzaveh is important to me because it’s the first Torah portion I ever drashed on for PunkTorah. And while I could say that the “fourth time is a charm”, I felt that this week it would be overkill to make an entire Torah Video Mashup, when instead, I could simply show you my favorite Tetzaveh, which I wrote and narrated for my friends Sarah Lefton and Matthue Roth at G-dCast.com

Four years is a long time to be shlepping Judaism on the internet, and if PunkTorah is as meaningful to you as it is to me, I hope you will give a generous donation.

Warmly,

The Cheaters Dvar Torah For Rosh Hashanah

September 25, 2011 By punktorah

Here’s the deal kids: we’ve been a little busy. The G-d Project has basically taken over our lives. And we’re super greatful to Ketzirah, Leon, Rivka, Jeremiah and others who have given 110% to keep our heads above water.

But the dvar for this week…yeah…we outsourced it!

Check out two clips from our friends at G-dCast for this week’s spiritual inspiration. L’Shana Tovah!

A Very Musical (and Danceable!) Parshat Re’eh

August 22, 2011 By punktorah

Prayer leader Rivka is going to be teaching a class soon about Jewish liturgy and music videos. This got me thinking: I wonder if there is anything musical for Parshat Re’eh that I could post on PunkTorah. Sure enough, we have a music video from G-dcast and an interesting interpretive dance piece for this week’s torah portion. Enjoy!

We Stole This Week’s D’var (Parshat Pinchas)

July 11, 2011 By punktorah

There are two things in life I will never be: a self-styled electro gurl indie hip hop/pop star, and a brilliant Torah scholar.

So in light of that, this week’s Torah portion is stolen from our friends at G-dcast. The narrator is Hesta Prynn, and if you don’t know who that is, then clearly you don’t live in NY. Watch and learn.
