From JobShuk…back in the day
I usually don’t stray from the simple reading of the Torah for this series; why should I with so many things to learn right in front of us. But there’s a figure that is said to have made a huge impact, but isn’t mentioned in this parsha. That figure, of course, is Nachshon ben Aminadav. …

There are several juicy topics in this Parsha that I’d love to discuss, but I’ll pick one that has helped inspire me during these days of darkness. (Note: my darkness was increased after I wrote most of this post, and then lost it due to a browser crash. That, amongst other factors, contributed to another …

In Parshat VaEra, we see Moshe and Aharon begin to perform miracles and bring plagues onto the Egyptians. It seems that magic was not uncommon to the Egyptians. For every miracle performed by Moshe and Aharon, the Egyptian Magiciansattempted to debunk the miracle by doing the same "feat". The first and most famous incident was …

The book of Shmot, called Exodus in English, begins with the Jews going into slavery. The Torah tells us that the more they were afflicted, the more they grew and multiplied. It seems that the Egyptian plan backfired. Instead of leading to their breakdown and demise, the hard labor caused them to flourish. The Artscroll …

With a heavy heart, my wife and I will be spending the next 4 months in the U.S. She’ll be working as a traveling nurse in Los Angeles, and I’ll continue to work on JobShuk and take advantage of my locale to bring more foreign attention to Israeli small businesses. The same day we found …

(Editor’s Note: I apologize for falling behind in this series while I’m in the US on vacation. This message, while still a bit unclear in my mind, is an important one which I hope, with G-d’s help, will be clear to you.) Yaakov "blesses" his sons on his deathbed in this week’s Parsha, essentially telling …

On my vacation to the US visiting family, it seems I quickly got infected by the Chutz LaAretz mentality. "Is he good for the Jews" is the primary consideration for many US Jews when looking into political candidates. The Torah tells us that Pharaoh is pleased to learn of Yosef’s brothers’ presence in Egypt. The …

We encounter different types of people all the time: introverts and extroverts, managers and employees, leaders and followers. In business, many talented people are passed on for jobs because they lack the energy to sell themselves appropriately. JobShuk aims to accomidate to both types of personalities and open up a complete dialog between buyers and …
At the beginning of Parshat Miketz, Paraoh summons Yosef to ease his mind after 2 disturbing dreams. I choose to stay away from the translation of liftor as "interpret"; it has the same root as pitaron which means "solution". Paraoh’s regular sorcerers and advisers tried to interpret the dreams, but he probably already knew what …

I simply don’t have time to write up on each of these articles, so here’s my 1 minute run-down. Brazil sees piracy as marketing tool rather than property theft This article doesn’t say much besides pointing to a section of the documentary, Good Copy Bad Copy. It’s relevant to the latest Radiohead Internet-only release, which …
