Rabbi Yaakov Fisch presents an enlightening podcast that uncovers positivity and light in the ordinary day. In fact, the recorded statement of God in the Torah is “Let There Be Light.” This means there was a lot of darkness on the first day of creation and there was a divine intervention necessary to uncover the light. I believe this is a struggle we are engaged with on a daily basis with so much darkness in the world and our challenge is to uncover the light in the world. Please join me along my journey as I attempt to find the sparks of light in a world of darkness.

God instructs Adam and Eve about their responsibilities in this world. Interestingly, He doesn’t inform them of their rights. This is a poignant message that we need to be a people that focuses on what our responsibilities towards others in this world are and not be a rights obsessed society.

Why was this so important that it had to be the final memory we have of the rich and illustrious life of Moshe?
