Why is the belief in moshiach fundamental to being a practicing Jew? Why is kindness to someone who has passed considered "Chesed shel emes" - true kindness? Why does honoring your parents merit a long life? Learn these answers and more in this week's parsha class.

Toras Chaim is a weekly parshah series, in which we will learn the week's torah portion with a focus on Toras Chaim - the study of the torah - not a story, but as a guide to live our lives. The other voice you hear is me, his wife Miriam, known online as @overtimecook.
