Korach – How to Have Strife-Free Arguments

Korach and his comrades launched an insurrection against Moshe that ended catastrophically for them. Our Sages maintain that his mistake was in the underlying cause of his dissent and how he conducted it, not in the fact that he had an argument to begin with. By analyzing this sad episode we can learn the proper way to argue.

Shelach – The Core of Mussar

Mussar is frequently translated as “ethics” or “character refinement”. In the debacle of the Spies found in this week’s parsha we see a definition of Mussar that can change our lives.

Ep. 53: The Ten Lost Tribes: History, Legends, and Folklore

The story of the Ten Lost Tribes is shrouded in mystery, replete with legends and folklore. At its core it is one of the greatest tragedies of Jewish history. It began with the worst schism and civil war in our history. The rift persisted for decades and was never resolved despite many concerted efforts of the great prophets of yore. Ultimately, war, conquest, and expulsion led to the rebels to be cast away, and a significant chunk, maybe even a plurality, of the nation were exiled to parts unknown and have seemingly disappeared from the face of history.

Safety in Numbers (2:5)

In chapter 2 we meet Hillel the Elder again. In this mishna we learn the secret of surviving judgement, the differences between how God and man judge, and hear a clarion call for repenting before we die.

Shelach – The Sad Saga of the Spies (Rebroadcast)

In Parshas Shelach we read about the disastrous episode of the Spies. These 12 men were initially great leaders of the people, but their libelous report about the Land condemned the Nation to 40 years of wandering in the Wilderness.

Behaaloscha – Amplified Output

In a series of events at the end of this week’s parsha we gain a glimpse of how God dispensed reward and punishment. Moshe’s older sister Miriam is stricken with tzaras and thanks to an act that she did as a child, she merited that the entire nation inconvenienced themselves for her.

Nasso – Community and Individuality

When detailing the gifts of the tribe leaders to celebrate the inauguration of the Tabernacle, the Torah contains what seems like a twelvefold repetition. Instead of listing the gifts once, the Torah laboriously repeats the exact same tribute 12 times, once per tribe head. In this podcast we offer an answer that gets to the heart of the relationship between Torah and our nation.
