  1. The Wanderings of Bnei Yisrael in the Desert

    Rabbi Yaakov Medan

    A review of various biblical sources indicates that the wanderings of Bnei Yisrael in the wilderness had additional significance, aside from the need to circumvent the land of the Pelishtim and the punishment decreed on the nation as result of the sin of the spies. These sources mainly point to the wilderness as a place with no means of subsistence. It is there that Bnei Yisrael learn that it is God Who feeds and sustains them. This lesson discusses the wandering in the desert as depicted in the prophecy of Amos, who describes the trek entirely from a social perspective, in terms of justice and righteousness.

  2. What?!

    Parashat Beshalah

    Rabbi Ezra Bick

    The manna symbolizes emunah and faith in God; this essential connection is mirrored in the link between the manna and Shabbat. The quail signifies something different, and the distinction between the manna and the quail is the key to understanding the parasha.

  3. Meat vs. Spirit

    Rabbi Alex Israel | 40 דקות

    Chapter 11 in Bemidbar relays the story of Kivrot ha-taava. How many stories are in the chapter? Three main questions are explored: Why does the structure of this parsha mix together two stories? Why is Moshe in such a crisis? And what is the significance of the story of the 70 Elders at this juncture?  

  4. Rav Yosef Kara

    Dr. Avigail Rock

    Mahari Kara, an apparent student of Rashi, maintained both a loyalty to and at the same time a strong independence of Rashi.

    Mahari Kara’s exegetical principals include:

    • Loyalty to the peshat, much more so than Rashi, feeling no obligation to cite any derash at all. In this, his commentary may be considered trailblazing. 
    • A great sensitivity to literary technique and style including lashon nofel al lashon, alliteration, paronomasia, rhythm and meter, literary structure, and connective associations.
    • He delineates exegetical principles that may be applied elsewhere in Tanakh including pre-emption and parallelism.  

     

    Mahari Kara makes two basic assumptions about peshat and derash:

    • Even the Sages, who wrote the midrashim, believed that peshat is the essence.  The aim of derash is only for ethical purposes, and not to provide an explanation missing in Tanakh.
    • Tanakh does not require external facts in order to explain it; it cannot be that the verse speaks ambiguously and relies on Midrashic material in order to be understood.

  5. Parshat Behaalotcha Part 6: Prophecy for All, and Miriam & Aharon's Challenge of Moshe

    Rabbi Jonathan Snowbell | 25 דקות

    This is the final podcast for Parshat Behaalotcha, which discusses Eldad and Medad’s prophecy, the story of the quail, and Miriam’s tzaraat. A close examination of the verses reveals an underlying theme of prophecy throughout the events.
