The Wisdom of the Rooster
Rabbi Michoel Gourarie
Is Global Warming a Sign of Moshiach?
Question: Could global warming be a sign that the Messiah is about to arrive? I learn’t the Torah predicts that in the future the “covering of the sun” will be removed, and wicked people will melt in the intense heat…
EVERYONE CAN LIGHT A FIRE
In this week’s Torah portion we read that Moses was told to instruct his brother Aaron (the high priest) to kindle the seven candles of the golden Menora (candelabra). In the Temple this daily Mitzvah was performed in the afternoon…

Do Jews Cross Fingers?
Question: Is it wrong for a Jew to say “fingers crossed” for good luck? And if so, is there a Jewish equivalent to crossing fingers? I am waiting to hear back about a job interview and need all the luck I can get…
