Parashat Korach

Dedicated in Honor of Isaac and Helana Haber by Sol and Frieda Ayal Parashat Korach Korach’s Ego Parashat Korach begins with Korach, a member of the tribe of Levi, confronting Moshe and Aharon with Datan, Aviram, On ben Pelet, and 250 followers. “And they gathered together against Moshe and Aharon and said to them, ‘You take too much upon yourselves!

Parashat Shelach

Dedicated in Honor of My Wife Frieda and Our New Baby Boy by Sol Ayal Parashat Shelach The Spies and Lashon Hara In this week’s parasha, we learn about one of the most important episodes in our history, which still affects us today.

The parasha is most notably about the laws of Sotah. Sotah is the service th

Parashat Bamidbar / Shavuot

Dedicated Leilui Nishmat Laura Fallas A’H by Her Son Alan Fallas and Family Parashat Bamidbar / Shavuot The Census This week’s parasha, Bamidbar, begins the fourth book of the Chumash. In the second passuk, Hashem says to Moshe, “Take a census of the entire assembly of B’nei Yisrael according to their families, according to their fathers’ households, by number of the names, every male according to their headcount.” Rav Pam says that Hashem counted B’nei Yisrael due t
