The Parsha has the story of Pesach Sheini, where those who were tamei mes on Pesach complained that they missed the chance to bring the Korban, and Moshe asked Hashem and was told they could make it up on 14 Iyaar.

Some ideas from the Ramban and the Ramchal about Tefilah and why we need to ask in order to receive. Have a good Shabbos

Masei - Journey To The Arei Miklat

Jul 9, 2026

8:25

The last Mitzvah Moshe does for the Jewish people at the end of Bamidbar is setting aside the Arei Miklat. Why is protecting killers a top priority, especially since they wouldn't provide protection until Yehoshua set aside the other three inside EY? Why can't a Rotzeach leave if Klal Yisrael needs him? Have a good Shabbos

Hi, The 11th Pasuk in the parsha starts with Eicha, and is lained with the Eicha tune. Chazal say there are three Neviim who said Eicha, and they saw the Jewish people in three different states.

Jul 28, 2026

The Torah tells us to destroy and degrade Avodah Zarah, but not to do so such things towards Hashem. Why is it important to treat Shem Hashem and Divrei Kedusha with respect.

Ki Seitzei - Understanding the Yefas Toar

Aug 20, 2026

9:25

The Torah gives allowance for a soldier at war to take a Yefas Toar and be Migayer her, lest he come to take her even if she were forbidden. Can he force her to accept the Mitzvos against her will? Since when does the Torah make allowances for us the Yetzer Hara? Aren't only the biggest Tzaddikim allowed in the army, shouldn't they be stronger than this? Wishing you a wonderful Shabbos

314

Ki Savo - Vidui Maaser and Integrity

Aug 27, 2026

9:56

On the last day of Pesach in every fourth and seventh year, a person would come to the Mikdash and do Vidui Maasaros. What is unique about the Mitzvah of Maaser that a person would make this declaration? We don't find such declarations by other Mitzvos. Have a good Shabbos Bonus found after doing the recording - Pashtus the language of Vudui found in Chazal here is a declaration, not a confession, and that is how Malbim explains it. However the Seforno translates it as a confession, and gives a pshat how there is a confession here, from the fact that we are giving it to Shevet Levi instead of the Bechorim, which was a result of our sins with the Eigel. Seems to me like a Shmuess that we are confessing for that today, and that are we maybe supposed to tap into those feelings of shame every time we do this vidui.

315

Nitzavim - Making Fences For Ourselves

Sep 4, 2026

We are told to use tricks to do battle with our Yetzer Harah. Avos DiRabbi Noson says Hashem explaining in the Parsha why the troubles that will befall the Jewish people befell them is an example of a fence. The Torah telling us to distance from Arayos is a fence. What fences around our weak spots can we make in our own lives to keep us out of trouble? Have a K'Sivah V'Chasimah Tovah and a Good Shabbos

316

Haazinu - Framing The Punishments

Sep 18, 2026

9:50

Haazinu is a shira about Jewish history, how we will experience Hashem's kindness, but then rebell from our state of comfort, and be punished for severely for it. How do we frame these calamities and our personal tzaros, are they simply punishments, or are they for the good of the world? Have a good Shabbos and a Gmar Chasimah Tovah.
