Pesach Wolicki: Serach represents the importance of memory.
Simon Jacobson: Asher is both prosperity and pleasure. Asher is the dimension of blessing beyond the norm – to be given more than what is necessary for survival. Asher is the personality of not just getting what you need, but also enjoying it.
Naomi Steinberg: Asher and Gad represent the most peripheral of the tribal territories, probably the first two to cease to be included in the nation of Israel.

Arutz Sheva Staff: British animal welfare group Four Paws, which facilitated the move, said last month it was seeking to rescue the cubs from their "hugely inappropriate situation" in which they were growing to be a threat to their surroundings.


Audio: The Farm-To-Table Olive Oil

Ari Soffer: But one hanukkiah-lighting taking place in Jerusalem next week will have particular significance: for the first time in nearly 2,000 years, experts have reproduced the pure olive oil precisely as it was used in the Temple to light the Menorah.

||the God of Zilpah||

Midrash Aggadah, ed. Buber, Gen. 29:24: According to another midrashic account, Zilpah was Rachel’s handmaiden, and her father exchanged her for Bilhah when he deceived Jacob, so that Zilpah became Leah’s handmaiden.

betsy teutsch: Some of the rejection of Bilhah and Zilpah is due to class and race issues. Bilhah and Zilpah should not be treated merely as objects (wombs/surrogates) but as putting their lives on the line for Israel in enduring pregnancies for the propagation of the tribes. Bringing the rare practice of including B&Z enhances pluralism. Inclusion of Bilhah and Zilpah as equals with Rachel &Leah is a way of retroactively treating them justly as mothers.
Tamar Kadari: Zilpah was the youngest of Jacob’s four wives and her pregnancy was not apparent; therefore the Torah states merely that ‘she bore’ (Gen. 30:10–12), in contrast with the other Matriarchs, of each of whom it is also said ‘she conceived’ (Gen. Rabbah 71:30).
Naomi Steinberg: Though Gad ("fortune") and Asher ("happy") were borne to Jacob by Zilpah, they were considered to be children of Leah, who gave them names symbolic of her perspective on their births and their ability to gain favor for her with Jacob. Asher and Gad were considered direct heirs to the patrilineage of Terah, their great-great-grandfather, and are listed among the twelve sons/tribes of Jacob/Israel.

רוּת

Rabbi David Katz: What seemed as a potentially benign statement would be the shot heard around the world, for this was the moment of truth for the eventual opening of Moshiach to find entrance into this world. “Your people are my people (emphasis mine).” ~ רוּת is [the seed of Messiah son of] David kosher?! – This is the age old question in fact!

Walang ligaya sa lupa na hindi dinilig ng luha.
