Lessons on Naso

Bitterness or Bracha – Choose!
We complain about the conditions of the desert; the lack of water; the shortage of meat; the taste of the miraculous Mahn. Even Miriam & Ahron get into the act when they complain to Moshe about his neglecting his wife Tzipora. We find fault with everyone & everything.
Rabbi Stewart Weiss | Sivan 9 5782
Twelve Offerings

Rabbi Berel Wein | Sivan 8 5782
The world like a tree, and roots – the Holy Temple
How does the enumeration of Israel cause the infusion of the divine presence within Israel?
Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu | Sivan 4 5782
The Role of the Levites in Israeli Society
The Torah reading of this week continues with the count of the different families within the tribe of Levi. We are aware that this tribe has been chosen for public service in the Temple and, generally, on behalf of the Jewish people. They do not own land, and their financial support is based upon the tithe that the Jewish people contributed from their produce.
Rabbi Berel Wein | Sivan 4 5782

Two Versions of the Moral Life
Is a Nazirite positive or negative? Or maybe it's both of them?
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

Who's In Control?
Three diverse subjects combine in our Parsha: The Sota, the Nazir & Birkat Kohanim. Plus Shavuot this week. Is there a connection between all of them?
Rabbi Stewart Weiss | Sivan 2 5782
