Read Rabbi Cardozo’s eulogy for his wife Rabbanit Freyda Rachel Lopes Cardozo z”l
Thoughts to Ponder is a weekly invitation to think dangerously and question passionately. Drawing on the Torah portion, classical Jewish sources, philosophy, and the crises of contemporary life, Rabbi Cardozo challenges religious complacency and spiritual comfort. These essays are written for readers who seek a Judaism that disturbs, questions, and ultimately deepens the human encounter with God and responsibility.
In Jewish Thought and Philosophy and Parashat Vayelech by Rabbi Nathan Lopes Cardozo
"Now, write this Song for Yourselves and Teach It". A song however is different from a mere inheritance. It is the result of being overwhelmed by something which touches the deepest level of one's soul. It is the speechlessness of the lips which carry the song to the ineffable. An authentic song is therefore a protest against words getting frozen.
