Snakes and Ladders • Parshas Chukas • Ep. 218

Klal Yisrael begs Moshe Rabbeinu to remove "the snake", one snake, though the pasuk has just described many. Why the singular? And if Chizkiyahu was praised for smashing the copper snake, why didn't Moshe break it himself once its job was done? The Ben Ish Chai reads the scene in a way that reaches…

Human (H'you'man) Sacrifice • Shavuos • Ep. 213

Gedolim stranded in a Russian town on Yom Kippur cannot agree who should lead Ne'ilah, until an elderly local points to a quiet man in the corner and tells them what he has lived through. What that man says at the amud is hard to forget. Why do we read Megillas Rus on Shavuos, and why is it full of…

Emunah & Bitachon • Purim • Ep. 207

Esther's era is called "the end of all the miracles" by the Gemara, yet Jews have seen open miracles since then. What does that mean? Why was it only after Purim that Klal Yisrael accepted the Torah willingly, and why is the holiday named for a lottery, "Pur"? Rabbi Levenstein's approach ties toget…

True Mesiras Nefesh • Parshas Terumah • Ep. 204

Aharon had a part in the Chet HaEgel, and in Parshas Terumah the Midrash Tanchuma connects his appointment as Kohen Gadol to that very sin, so that he would know Hashem had forgiven him. But the Gemara says a sin never brings a reward. How can that be? A Midrash Rabbah on what Aharon feared for Kla…

The Essence of a Yid • Parshas Va'eira • Ep. 198

Is the worst thing you ever did really who you are? In Parshas Vaera, the Beis HaLevi starts from a hard question: how can Hashem harden Paroh's heart and then punish him, when we have free will? His answer leads somewhere surprising about a Jew's own heart. The Gemara in Menachos has a voice from …

The Secret to Success • Parshas Shemos • Ep. 162

The Gemara in Sotah says that all of Klal Yisrael waited seven days for Miriam, because she once waited by the Nile to see what would become of her baby brother. That seems like a very large reward for standing and watching. What was she really doing there? The answer goes back to what she told her…

Chessed and boundaries • Parshas Ki Seitzei • Ep. 34

Amon and Moav could not join Klal Yisrael for ten generations, and the Torah gives two reasons. One is that they hired Bilam to curse us. The other is that they did not meet us with bread and water. Those two do not seem to weigh the same. The Or HaChaim asks exactly that, and the Ramban looks back…
