Vine of David is pleased to announce that pre-ordering for both the Vine of David Passover Haggadah and the special Meal of Messiah is now available! We will be shipping these out the second week of March in plenty of time for Passover.

eRosh: Adar

Due to time constraints on the Haggadah project we were unable to send out the monthly eRosh e-mail at the beginning of Adar. The Adar calendar has now been uploaded to the eRosh home page and we will have the children's and teen's material up in the next day or two.

J-BOM is Coming

Taking Torah to the Nations

Lately I am often asked the question, "Now that you guys are done with HaYesod what are you working on?" The answer is HaYesod. In all seriousness although the materials have been fully completed and groups are up and running, we have more "HaYesod" work than ever before. The task of managing all the different leaders and taking care of their personal needs is so large, that most of us...

The Appetite of the Wise

Tags:  character, controlling desires, Mishlei Musings

In the last episode of Mishlei Musings we learned the value of speaking in love. We saw that it is often difficult to control the tone of our voices in times of emotion. In addition to speaking in love, controlling our appetites and desires is also essential to our spiritual growth in life.
