  • Balak - Why A Talking Donkey?
    2025/07/11

    Hi,

    Why did Hashem make a donkey talk to Bilaam, what could it accomplish that the Malach couldn't? Why doesn't the only talking donkey in history have more inspiring words to say? What was the miracle coming to teach us?

  • Chukas - Mourning a Peacemaker
    2025/07/03

    Hi,

    Chazal note the contrast between the way the people mourned for Aharon, and the way they mourned for Moshe. The main reason given is that Aharon made peace between people in dispute. What does this teach us about the different roles of Moshe and Aharon, and what can we learn from both?

    Have a good Shabbos

  • Shelach - The Good Within the Yesurim
    2025/06/19

    Hi,

    There's a surprising Rabbeinu Bechayai that says Moshe Rabbeinu was supposed to appreciate that the Chet HeMeraglim caused his life to be extended another 40 years. How could Moshe feel positively about something that caused such devastation for the future of the Jewish people?

    2025/06/12

    In this week's Parsha we have the story of Miriam getting Tzaraas. Thought it would be interesting to share a fascinating Gemara about Miriam and her marriage to Kalev Ben Yefunah, and the lessons we can learn from them.

    2025/06/06

    The Rambam finds the source for the Mitzvah of Viduy in this week's Parsha. Why is Viduy taught from the area of admitting to swearing falsely on a stolen item, and why is it such an essential part of Teshuva?

  • Bamidbar & Shavuos - A Precious Opportunity
    2025/05/29

    Bamidbar begins with the counting of the Bnei Yisrael, which the seforim teach shows the preciousness of our people as a whole, and of every individual as well. Matan Torah is really what gave us that special distinction and made us unique.

    May Hashem help us appreciate who we are and help us find ways to tap into His precious gift on the Yom Tov of Shavuos.

    Have a great Shabbos and a wonderful and meaningful Shavuos.

  • Behar - Being Mechazek Others
    2025/05/22

    The highest form of giving in Halacha is to help hold someone up before they fall down. Is this only about preventing someone from falling financially, or even from falling apart emotionally? Some ideas based on the Rambam and Chofetz Chaim on being Mechazek those in need.
