The Census Preparation for the Torah - Parsha Bamidbar

May 31, 2022

13:54

This parsha is typically read before shavuos? What is the connection between the parsha of Bamidbar and Shavuos. The Book of Numbers opens with a census of the people. Rashi explains because of the love for the Jewish People Hashem constantly counts us. The Torah goes through great length how we were counted. According to their families based on their fathers, their tribes, each male 20 years and older… Its still difficult to understand why did we even need to be counted?

The Power of a Commitment - Shavuos

May 31, 2022

14:05

We will be talking about shavuos. The parsha of Bamidbar is always read before shavuos. Lets talk about this misunderstood Yom Tov (holiday). The Torah doesn’t tell us any reason why we celebrate shavuos. It tells us after Pesach, you’re supposed to count the day after the first day of pesach seven complete weeks. Count a total of 49 days and after that make a holiday and it should be a day where 2 loaves of bread are brought in the Beis Hamikdash. This is a special korban for Shavuos. We know that we generally call shavuous the “Holiday of the weeks”. Which also needs an explanation. What exactly is the significance of “the weeks”? The weeks are counted BEFORE the Yom Tov….?

The World to Come - Parsha Bechukosai

May 26, 2022

19:12

This week's Torah portion is Parshas Bechukosai. This is the parsha that's always read a few weeks before shavuos. Its the parsha called, "tochacha" (reproof). The Torah tells describes in great details all the rewards that will come to the Jewish people if they keep the mitzvah properly. As well as all the terrible punishments that will befall the Jewish people if they do not keep the mitzvah. The Talmud tells us that this is also read shortly before the end of the year (before Rosh Hashana) that the year and all its curses should come to a close and the new year should begin with blessing. Although Shavuos is not really the "new year" in that same sense, but in a form as the Torah was given to the Jewish people. Its a new year that will determine the new Torah insights that will come to the Jewish people in the preceding 12 months.  Like what you hear?

Divine Authorship of The Torah - Parsha Behar

13:04

Shemittah - The Divine Authorship of The Torah! This weeks parsha is Parshas Behar. The mitzvah of shemitah is a mitzvah where every seven years in Israel we cannot work the land. There’s a famous Rashi on the first passuk in the parsha which tells us, Hashem spoke to Moshe at Mount Sinai and gave him the mitzvah of shemttiah. Rashi poses the question, “why does it tell us over here that Gd told Moshe at Mount Sinai, we already know the entire Torah was given at har sinai?” Like what you hear?
