Este episodio explora el **llamado divino de Jeremías** a ser profeta, destacando su juventud y reticencia inicial, así como la **garantía de protección de Di-s** frente a la oposición. Se subraya la **infidelidad de Israel** y su constante alejamiento de Di-s, a pesar de los continuos llamamientos a la **reconciliación y el arrepentimiento**. Las fuentes enfatizan la **paciencia y misericordia inquebrantables de Di-s**, quien, a través de Jeremías, recordó a Su pueblo su relación temprana y su **condición de nación elegida**, incluso en medio de sus pecados. Finalmente, se destaca la **importancia de escuchar y responder a las advertencias divinas**, comparando la rebeldía de Judá con las consecuencias que sufrió el antiguo Israel.

In Parashat Matot, Moshe Rabbeinu is commanded by Hashem to avenge the Midyanim for causing Bnei Yisrael to stumble in the most severe sins. Moshe responds by selecting one thousand tzaddikim from each shevet, totaling 12,000 men. He sent them off to war along with Pinchas, the Aron HaKodesh, and the special trumpets used in battle to invoke Hashem's favor and bring victory. The Torah then states: " וַיִּצְבְּאוּ עַל־מִדְיָן " – They encamped against Midyan. Ramban explains that this means the Jewish army surrounded Midyan on three sides, leaving one side open. This was a direct command from Hashem, meant to offer the enemy a chance to flee. Even in war, we are commanded to show mercy. And Ramban adds that this wasn't a one-time instruction—this principle of compassion applies to all future optional wars. Later, the Torah testifies that the Jewish army wiped out Midyan without losing even one soldier. It was openly miraculous. To confront such a large enemy with only 12,000 men and suffer no casualties was clearly the hand of Hashem. This pattern has repeated itself throughout Jewish history. We show compassion to our enemies—and we experience miraculous victories. In a recent conflict, the Israeli Air Force flew nearly 400 warplanes over Iran. Not a single jet malfunctioned. There were no mechanical failures, no planes struck by enemy fire, and not one pilot was injured or captured. Before the operation, Israeli defense officials estimated that between 400 and 800 civilians could be killed in Iranian missile assaults. Some projections feared that if Iran fired all of its 2,000+ ballistic missiles, the death toll could rise to 4,000. In the end, only 687 missiles were fired. Of those, 97% were intercepted. Iran also launched 1,200 drones—99% of which were downed by Israeli defensive systems. According to military experts, these numbers are almost statistically impossible. But when Hashem is protecting us, statistics do not apply. Although we did not merit a completely casualty-free outcome like the war against Midyan, we witnessed an unmistakable miracle. And it wasn't only us who saw it. Even non-Jewish journalists around the world began to acknowledge that something beyond nature is protecting the Jewish people. A British journalist by the last name Heath recently wrote an article exploring the world's irrational hatred for the Jews. He asked: Why does a nation this small inspire so much hostility? In his own words: A nation this small should not be this strong. Surrounded by enemies, condemned in the UN, targeted by terror, boycotted, slandered, and attacked—and yet, the Jewish people thrive in every area: military, medicine, technology, agriculture, security, intelligence, morality, and resilience. They turn desert into farmland. They make water from air. They intercept rockets midair. They rescue hostages from the heart of enemy territory. They survive wars they are supposed to lose—and they win. The world watches and can't explain it. So they grasp for explanations: American aid, high-tech trickery, some hidden secret—anything but the truth. Because the truth means admitting it's Hashem. By all logic, the Jewish people should have disappeared long ago. That's how the story of every exiled, enslaved, and persecuted minority ends. But the Jews didn't disappear. We are stronger than ever. There is no cheat code that can explain how a nation returns to its homeland after 2,000 years. There is no rational explanation for how a people go from gas chambers to global influence. There is no historical precedent for surviving the Babylonians, Romans, Crusaders, Inquisitions, Pogroms, and Holocaust—and still standing strong today. Israel doesn't make sense—unless you believe in something higher. And that's what drives the world crazy. Maybe history isn't random. Maybe evil doesn't have the last word. Maybe the Jewish people aren't just a nation—but a living proof that there is a G-d in the world. Once a person admits that Israel's survival is divine, his entire moral compass has to reset. Because then he is not watching the final chapter of a fallen people, but rather the unfolding of something eternal. So the world tries to deny it—but it is becoming more and more obvious. We are incredibly fortunate to be the Am Hashem. We must appreciate that privilege and honor it by living as true representatives of Hashem—through our Torah and our mitzvot.. Shabbat Shalom.

Today on Table Talk with BBYO Insider. We're wrapping up the Book of Numbers with a powerful double portion: Matot-Masei. Join us as we dive into the themes of promises, journeys, and preparing for what's next. We'll explore the importance of keeping our word, reflect on the 42 stops the Israelites made on their way to the Promised Land, and ask what it means to create safe spaces—both for ourselves and others. Whether you're on your own journey this summer or just starting a new chapter, this episode is all about movement, meaning, and growth.

Well, it was a hard week. People are suffering on both sides of the conflict and it's certainly heart wrenching to see what is happening in Gaza. This parsha deals with themes of genocide. It's heavy, but it's appropriate for the time we are in.Shabbat shalom

In this vibrant episode of Parsha and Prose, Rabbi Gemara joins me from a ma'amud (bomb shelter) in Israel to explore the twin parshiot of Matot and Masei. Before delving into key themes—oaths, the 2½ tribes settling east of the Jordan, the 42 encampments of the Children of Israel, and the Levites' landless status—we discuss Rabbi Gemara's recent experiences in Israel. With infectious enthusiasm, he shares the dynamic energy he encountered in late-night restaurants and intimate shteibelech (small synagogues). Rabbi Gemara also reflects on the Israeli public's resilience amid the ongoing war in Gaza and tensions with Iran, highlighting their unwavering hope and determination to thrive. This episode captures the enduring strength of the Jewish people and the profound beauty of the Land of Israel. Am Yisrael Chai.

Matot Masei 5785ע׳ בחי׳ מהר“ם שיק לתרי״ג מצוות ריש פרשת מטות, והועתק נמי בחי׳ למסכת נדרים ג:, וז״ל מצות עשה לדון דין הפרת נדרים שנאמר איש כי ידור נדר לה' וכו'. והנה הרמב"ם [בספר המצות מצוה צ"ה] מונה זה למצות עשה, והרמב"ן במנין המצוות [בסוף] מצוה [צ"ו] משיג על זה, שזה דין מדיני המצוה, ועיקר אינו אלא לא תעשה שלא לעבור על דבריו עיין שם כו׳ וטעם הרמב"ם נראה, כיון שיוכלל לא תעשה ודיני הפרת והתרת נדרים נתחזק שורש אחד משרשי האמונה, לכך ראוי שיוכלל וימנה בכלל המצות עשה, שבא להשריש בנו שאין הדיבור שאנו מדברים בא מכח בנין הגוף ותכונתו, אלא שורש הדיבור הוא בנשמתו, וכמו שתרגם התרגום בראשית על ויהי אדם לנפש חיה לרוח ממללא, ולכך רק הדיבור שנדבר עם השכל והדעת הוא הדיבור של האדם, וכך ראוי שיהיה הדיבור של תפילה ולימוד, ולכך כיון שהדיבור הוא כלי להוציא מכח אל הפועל מה שנשמתו רוצית, והוא כלי של הנשמה חלק רוחניי חלק אלקי, ראוי שישמור אמרי פיו, ויהיה הדיבור חשוב בעיניו, ושורש זה אנו לומדים מן התרת נדרים, שהבית דין של ג' או יחיד מומחה ידון וישפוט שלא היה הדיבור הזה עם השכל והידיעה, שהיה בטעות דעתו, ואילו ראה את הנולד כראוי לא היה נודר, וממילא היה דיבור בלא שכל ובלא שורש הדיבור, ולכך אין לו קיום ומתירין אותו, כי עיקר חשיבות האדם הוא חלק הרוחניי ושכלו ודעתו. והוא גם כן טעם הפרת האב והבעל בדבר שיש בו עינוי נפש או דברים שבינה לבין האב והבעל, כמו שאמרו חז"ל [לקמן דף ע"ג ע"ב] שאנן סהדי כל הנודרת על דעת בעלה, והוא הדין לאביה היא נודרת, שכך ראוי להיות, ואם אינה עושית כן, בטלה דעתה ונתעוור שכלה, וכיון שעל דעת בעלה היא נודרת, וממילא אם הם אינם רוצים, אין נדרה מכאן ואילך מעת שגילו דעתם לא נדר ולא שבועה, ע״כ.

In today's page of Talmud, Avodah Zarah 36, the sages continue their discussion on halachot pertaining to goods made by gentiles, and whether Jewish people can consume them. There's a larger discussion here, one about tradition and continuity. For further insight, we are including this week's episode of our sister podcast 'Sivan Says'. This week's double parsha, Matot-Masei, contains a list of 42 places the Israelites journey to on their route to the Promised Land. What can we learn from this long and detailed list? Listen and find out. 

Ramban on the Torah | 5785 | 36 | Matot-Masei, by Rav Eli Weber What is the meaning of living in Eretz Israel?

Sefer Bamidbar | Matot - Masei | 5785 | War of Midian, War of Vengeance, by Rav Ezra Bick What is the difference between the vengeance of Israel and the vengeance of God? What does it actually mean to avenge the Midianites? Why did the people go out to do this in the name of Moses?

A curious parsing and a manuscript advisory warning. Follow along in Bemidbar 30:5, 30:12, 30:8, 31:6. Provide your feedback or join the WhatsApp group by sending an email to torahreadingpodcast@gmail.com.  

Parashat Mattot-Massei [Numbers 30:2-36:13] is a double parashah which concludes the Book of Numbers. It is one of the longest readings of the year, even for those who use the triennial cycle. Our focus this week was the curious story about the tribes of Gad and Reuven, and the half-tribe of Menashe. As the Israelites' forty-year journey is coming to an end, with the entrance into the Land of Israel imminent, these tribes, blessed with much cattle and flocks, decide they want to stay east of the Jordan. How to unpack this story? Give a listen! We continue to be mindful of the hostages being held in Gaza, both the living and the dead, may they be speedily returned to their families. We also keep in mind those defending Israel as part of the Israel Defense Forces, may they be removed from harm's way. Shabbat Shalom and Chodesh Tov [the month of Av, which marks the 11th yahrtzeit of my father, Mel Chesler z”l, is this Shabbat].

As two and a half tribes choose to settle outside the Promised Land, Moses asks: Will your siblings go to war while you stay here? This week's Torah portion raises timeless questions about what we owe each other as Jews—especially across distance, disagreement, and diaspora. Rabbi Micah Streiffer explores ancient texts, modern Israel-diaspora dynamics, and the Talmudic idea that all Israel are guarantors for one another. What does that really mean in 2025—and what happens when we stay silent? --------------------------------- Seven Minute Torah is a production of LAASOK: The Liberal Beit Midrash.

What defines Jewish belonging—land, Torah, or loyalty? In this episode, Parshat Matot-Masei sparks a rich conversation between Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbanit Nechama Goldman Barash about the tribes of Reuven, Gad, and Menashe who ask to settle east of the Jordan River. They explore Moshe's sharp challenge to their request, the shifting language from “ahuzah” (holding) to “nachalah” (inheritance), and what it means to belong to the Jewish people. The discussion expands to contemporary dilemmas of collective responsibility—from Israel-Diaspora relations to the burden of reserve duty in today's IDF.

Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Brody wrote Ethics of Our Fighters: A Jewish View on War and Morality before the events of October 7th. Yet its publication shortly after the outbreak of the war in Gaza made the book especially timely—and deeply resonant. In it, R. Brody offers a “Jewish Multi-Value Framework” to navigate the often competing ethical considerations that arise in times of war—from the perspective of both those engaged in combat and those grappling with the moral questions. Drawing on emotionally charged moments from modern Israel's history and a candid exploration of the biblical texts related to warfare, R. Brody presents a thoughtful structure and vocabulary to approach some of the most difficult ethical dilemmas. In our conversation, we explore the book's central arguments and the diverse ways Jewish tradition has interpreted scriptural passages about war. These texts can often strike the modern reader as troubling, but as R. Brody points out, generations of sages and commentators have acknowledged these challenges and offered meaningful interpretive lenses through which to understand them. You can find R. Brody's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Ethics-Our-Fighters-Jewish-Morality/dp/159264676X This week's episode has been sponsored by Shuli Rockoff in observance of the Yahrzeit for her mother, Hudell Ruchama bat Avraham Shlomo and Etta Malka on the 25th of Tammuz.

Sermon from 8.3.2024 / Matot-Masei 5784

This week, the regular reading cycle includes a "double portion," Matot/Masei (Numbers 30:2 through the End of the Book) ========== More detail to be added later ================== The Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/SSM-8-2-24-Double-parsha-Matot-Masei-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 "Matot/Masei: Real Authority - the Answer is 42 - and it's ALL too MUCH!" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/WT-CooH-8-3-24-Double-parsha-Matot-Masei-Its-TOO-Much-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part teaching is here:

In parashat Matot , we read about the war that the Jewish People waged against Midyan. A thousand people were chosen from each tribe to be the soldiers to fight the battle. Fighting in war was an important part of the Jewish People's being the Am Hashem . Later on in the parasha when Moshe thought that some of the tribes were trying to get out of fighting, he became very upset. As we know, Jewish wars are not won with strong soldiers, they are won by Hashem, as it says, "ה' איש מלחמה," and therefore, the people chosen to fight were the most righteous individuals who would have extra Siyata d'Shamaya . As well, Chazal tell us, when the Jews fought against Midyan, for each soldier that went out to battle, there needed to be a corresponding individual who would stay back to learn and pray on his behalf. It was a partnership. Some would go out to the battlefield, and some would stay back to fight on the spiritual front. Torah and tefila protect us. They are the real ammunition we need to do battle. We are far from being the strongest nation in the world, but luckily for us, we don't need physical might, because we have Hashem to fight our wars. In 1967, the millions of Jews living in Israel were in grave danger. The Egyptian leader Abdel Nasser began moving tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of tanks to the Sinai Peninsula towards Israel's southern border. Egypt also blockaded the Straits of Tiran, an international waterway, which was essentially a declaration of war. The people of Israel turned to the nations of the world, primarily the US, for assistance against this Egyptian aggression, but somehow all the Western countries chose to remain neutral. The Jewish People of Israel were left all alone to face the might of the Arab nations who were looking to obliterate them off the face of the earth. Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon all formed a military alliance and began moving forces into Jordan, towards Israel's border. When the other Arab countries realized that the world had abandoned Israel, they began openly calling for the destruction of Israel and the murder of millions of Jews. Military experts projected a loss of possibly 100,000 Jewish lives. They were digging mass graves in case the cemeteries ran out of space. On June 15, at 7:15 in the morning, the Israelis attempted a very daring mission. The risk was extraordinary. They dispatched almost their entire air force, flying at an unprecedented low altitude, less than 20 meters from the ground. Egypt had the most advanced ground to air missiles in the Middle East, and the Israeli planes were old and outdated. But like all other battles, we had Hashem on our side, as was so clear from the events which transpired after that. Precisely during that one hour that the air force went out, the most advanced Russian made jets that patrolled along the border between Egypt and Israel were grounded. Right at that time, the commanders of Egypt, Jordan and Iraq were flying together to observe the Egyptian forces invading Sinai, so they ordered all anti-aircraft units not to fire unless they were given a direct order, as long as they were still in flight. That is precisely when the Israeli Air Force struck. And by 7:45, all their planes were bombing the Egyptian airfields without even being detected. They knocked out half their fleet, and then they went to Cairo to finish off the job. They were outnumbered in soldiers, in planes and in tanks, but it didn't matter, because the battle was not fought with might, it was won by Hashem. Our main concern is our spirituality. Are we as pure as we are supposed to be? We are to provide the spiritual energy and then we'll see the fulfillment of the pasuk "ה' ילחם לכם ואתם תחרישון". Shabbat Shalom.

A special joint-parsha episode for the week of Matot-Masei: Agnes & Ezra in conversation about this week's double parsha (strangely, the first double parsha of the year this year). Really I think this was just a very difficult and upsetting Torah portion and we were both afraid to do it alone. This is a throwback to the first era of this podcast, when we had rambling conversations about the holidays and asked four questions. And our questions this time around are not even questions. They are just four topics that we were too busy/lazy/excited to turn into questions. They are four rooms in a little bungalow. Join us on an intimate walkthrough: Q1. Cities of asylum? Q2. Horrific war? Q3. Vows? Q4. The end of the book of Bamidbar? Also: this episode has noticeable technical flaws! Editing: weird. Timing: off, due to some delay issue. Sound: pretty low quality, Agnes's audio gets better after a rocky start but it's all pretty low-fi. What are we, professionals? Chazak Chazak, see you in the book of Deuteronomy babes. [Music by Ezra Furman & Sam Durkes in a little practice room in Los Angeles, February 7th, 2017.]

Ramban on the Torah | 53 | Matot-Masei, by Rav Eli Weber What is the place of Nedarim in Jewish life? What were Shevet Gad and Shevet Reuven asking for? What is the meaning of Yishuv Eretz Israel?

Matot-Masei | The Detailed Tax on the Spoils of Midian, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom Why were the spoils of the war with Midian divided in such an unusual manner?  In Bamidbar 31, the Torah presents, in exact (and seemingly superfluous) detail, the spoils of the war against Midian, along with an exact accounting of the Divinely mandated levy placed upon the nation (2%) and the warriors (.2%) for their respective halves of the Midianite spoils. This detailed accounting, including some simple division, would seem to be unneeded and strains our general assumption of the Torah's avoidance of verbosity. Exploring the nature of this war, along with the double-edged vengeance - on behalf of God as well as on behalf of the people - we suggest an approach to understanding this "wordy" presentation that is instructive for generations.

This week, as we come to the end of the Book of Numbers, we're met with a double parsha - Parashat Matot-Masei, or tribes and journeys. Sivan ties the parashot to her new free booklet, To Be a Jew: Faith and Hope in Challenging Times, where she channels Rabbi Jonathan Sacks thought to seek answers to the challenging questions that Jews face today. How can we better comprehend our personal journeys amidst the noise of our day to day lives? How can we escape the minutia of the moment and connect to the bigger picture - of oneself, and of the Jewish people? Why does this have less to do with politics and more to do with hugs?
