Judaism From Within

In this week’s Sedra we deal with a perplexing situation – Miriam and Aaron speaking about Moses in a derogatory way. How Rav Hirsch understands this occurrence and how he sheds light on a particularly beautiful message it give us shows us once again, that every nuance in the Torah has valuable lessons for us to learn. Enjoy 

This weeks discussion is very loosely connected to this weeks parasha. Last year I went through Parashat Barmidbar and the positions of the tribes, pointing out their significance. This week I’ll be doing something different, with a focus on education.

This week’s Parsha once again displays Rav Hirsch’s awe- inspiring way of finding true Torah inspiration from the Laws of the Parsha. This week discusses the Erchin Vow – donating the Torah-given value of a person’s gender and age, to the Beis Hamikdash(Temple). Let’s discuss the values in depth and find a beautiful lesson that will accompany with us in our daily life.
Mission of the Soul, in Numbers

For this week's discussion, we will learn a stirring lesson on what it means for a Jew to be free. Why do we count 50 days of Sefirah? Why the phrase "7 full weeks"? And how does Rav Hirsh connect the Sefiras Ha'omer to both Shabbos and Milah? Find out this week. Enjoy, good Shabbos.
Counting up to Infinite Freedom

Freedom and Purity

In this week's discussion, we follow Rav Hirsch as he delves in to a beautiful description of the Jewish nation and the way we serve our Creator, so different from other nations. Enjoy
Not defined by grief

One of the points Rav Hirsch brings to this Parsha is the commandment to build the tabernacle (Mishkan) once again. We can appreciate this commandment in a historical context as well as in everyday life. Enjoy
