Parshas Bamidbar Inspiration: Every Jew is Priceless

Parshas Bamidbar Inspiration: Every Jew is Priceless

In this week’s Parsha, a census is taken of Klal Yisroel and all the shevatim were counted. Each time a shevet was counted, the resulting number was rounded off to hundreds. For example, shevet Reuven’s count was 46,500 people and shevet Shimon’s count was 59,300 people. However, there is one exception to this: Shevet Gad….

Parshas Pekudei: Pain is a Sign of Life

In this week’s Parsha, Hashem’s home, the Mishkan is finally inaugurated. After a seven-day process in which Moshe had to assemble and disassemble and build and demolish the Mishkan – on the eighth day it was finally permanent. On the eighth day the Mishkan was finally ready. The question is why? Why all the upheaval?…

Parshas Vayakhel: When You Fall Down You Get Back Up!

Parshas Vayakhel: When You Fall Down You Get Back Up!

In this week’s Parsha, we learn about the men and women who donated gold and material for the building of the Mishkan. The pasuk says, vayavo’u ha’anashim al hanashim, which literally means that the men ascended to the women. Seemingly, the pasuk should have said vayavo’u ha’anashim im hanashim – the men and women came…

Parshas Tetzaveh: Elevated!

In this week’s Parsha, we learn about the vestments that Aharon HaKohen wore in his service to Hashem. One of the special things that Aharon wore was the choshen, the breastplate which Aharon wore on his heart. The choshen had the names of all the twelve shevatim inscribed on it, representing the Yidden, and symbolizing…

Parshas Terumah Inspiration

Parshas Terumah Inspiration

In this week’s Parsha, the Jews were instructed to build a Mishkan. The pasuk says that Hashem said, “V’Asu Li Mikdash v’Shachanti b’Socham” – “And they shall make me a Mishkan and I shall dwell in them.” There is an obvious question here. The wording in this pasuk seems incorrect. Seemingly, Hashem should have said…

Parshas Mishpatim: People of Holiness

Parshas Mishpatim: People of Holiness

In this week’s Parsha the Torah commands us to be Anshei Kodesh – “people of holiness.” There is a question here. Other times, the pasuk says to be holy. How come over here the pasuk says to be “people” of holiness? Wouldn’t it make sense for the pasuk to simply say to be holy? Isn’t…

Parshas Bo: You are Never Alone

Parshas Bo: You are Never Alone

In this week’s Parsha, the Jewish people finally leave Mitzrayim. They were ready to go to Eretz Yisroel, but Hashem didn’t allow them to go the easy way. The pasuk says Vlo Nachum Elokim Drech Eretz Pilishtim – Hashem didn’t take the Jews up the short way – Hashem didn’t take the Yidden to Eretz…

Parshas Shemos: Rescued to Rescue

In this week’s Parsha, Pharaoh decreed that all Jewish male babies be killed. He decreed that all newborn babies must be thrown into the Nile River. With no other choice, Moshe’s family had to put him in the river. In a twist of irony and fate, none other than Pharaoh’s own daughter, Basya went to…

Parshas Vayechi

Parshas Vayechi

In this week’s Parsha, Yaakov passes away. The Shevatim were very nervous. They were afraid of a vendetta from Yosef. They suspected that previously Yosef was only kind to them because their father was alive. However, now that their father passed away, they thought that Yosef might retaliate and fight against them after what they…

Parshas Vayigash: The Big Reveal – Ani Yosef!

Parshas  Vayigash: The Big Reveal – Ani Yosef!

In this week’s Parsha, Yosef reveals his identity to his brothers. He says the two dramatic words – Ani Yosef – I am Yosef!” These two words shocked and shook Yosef’s brothers to the core. The brothers’ accusation, fear, and punitive action against Yosef were all wrong. For years they perceived Yosef as a vain…
