Even for the most attentive of us, the possibility that we somehow were not sufficiently respectful to our parents is a daunting thought. Therefore, the publication of Rabbi Joel Grossman’s second work, “A Voice From Sinai” is a welcome tract at this time as it explores the mitzvah of “Honor Your Father and Mother” in both a scholarly and relatable format.

For decades, many people have worried that the world is becoming overpopulated. They were concerned about shortages of food and water, not enough affordable housing, too little living space, and environmental issues. These days people are still worried about population—but for a very different reason. Populations in numerous countries are shrinking rapidly and, if this trend continues, everyone will be affected.

That was true until July 1, 2024.
