Israel is Forever

In this weeks Shiur we tackle the confusing story of Korach based on the humility of Moshe. It is an eye opening look at how one is meant to go about giving of themselves to the klal and to mitzvot. Along the way we hear about whitewater rafting trips and WhatsApp etiquette. Enjoy!

Korach and David HaMelech both refuse to be silent. What do they teach us?

The Three Weeks Of Mourning Through The Eyes Of Jeremiah  Part 3:  Parshat Shelach, As You Have Spoken  -  English only.   On Tisha B'Av, we listened to the evil report of the ten spies and refused to enter the promised land. The result? A generation of people died in the forty years we spent in the wilderness. Why did we receive that punishment and what lesson can we learn from it today?   June 21, 2025.  This year, 2025, the three weeks of mourning begins with the fast of the fourth month on Sunday, July 13, 2025.

In this conversation with Matan faculty member Simi Peters, we analyze Korach's tactics that made his rebellion an initial success and what ultimately caused it to fail. In her unique way, Simi weaves in midrashic traditions that underscore deeper points present in the narrative's foundation. These parsha conversations are being recorded in an ever-changing reality here in Israel. This episode opens with some thoughts about the current moment, with full understanding that reality can change in an instant. With prayers for the success of our unbelievable armed forces and for the return of the hostages. This week's episode has been sponsored by Eve and Jonathan Shiff in honor of Israel's soldiers and the hostages and their families – praying for success and safety, in body and soul. Our Bamidbar Series explores different forms of leadership in the book and in the Jewish world.

I Know. We are all feeling it. The war in Israel and our brothers and sisters suffering in bomb shelters as missiles mercilessly rain down upon them. In our class today we share chizuk and ideas to help us gain clarity and focus as jews always do in the face of evil. Along the way we come face to face with those who put their mouths and false pretenses before the truths their eyes are showing them.

It's time for everyone's favorite game: How Are You Feeling? The game show where our congregants are our contestants, and Empathy is Our Specialty. Our first subject for our contestants is our old friend, Moses. Let's see if we can see what he might be feeling in this week's parsha.

The Meshech Chochma explains how Kalev attempted to counter the claims of the Meraglim.

What was the real mission of the spies? What is real difference between the spies and Caleb and Joshua? Was there anything really false about what the spies said? All this and more on this week's Ponderings on the Parsha!

In this conversation with Rabbanit Rachelle Sprecher Fraenkel, we explore where the spies went wrong, the possibility that their sin was inevitable, and where this registers in the current Israeli reality. Rabbanit Rachelle is the director of Matan's Hilkhata program and is also co-founder of The Jerusalem Unity Prize and Unity Day. Our Bamidbar Series explores different forms of leadership in the book and in the Jewish world.

Parshat Behalotcha: Harav Shlomo Zalman ZTL and the shredded suit(and us)!!! Why Reb Yisrael Salanter ZYA didn't have time for $100 million?!?! Don't forget to ALWAYS say Bezrat HaShem!!!!!

The Torah highlights that it covers our shame, and teaches a lesson along the way

This is a story I heard from my mechutan, my son-in-law's father, Rabbi Michoel Bachar:  “When my parents arrived in Eretz Yisrael, they settled near Binyamina. This was about 75 years ago.  It was a very difficult time in Eretz Yisrael. It was just after the war.  It was the time of the tzena – there was almost nothing to eat.  My father bought a donkey and a plow and hired himself out as a ploughman.  It was very hard work. My mother learned to sew and worked as a seamstress - and that's how they make a living.  It wasn't a great standard of life, but they survived. And the years passed by. Slowly, they saved some money, and decided to plant a vineyard... In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

Why does the Torah go out of its way to tells us that Aharon did what he was supposed to do?

What is the meaning of the opening word of the Parsha "When you cause to light up"? Why does it repeat twice that the Levites were "given over"? And what does this "Book within a book" come to teach us? All this and more on this week's Ponderings on the Parsha.  

In this week's conversation with Rabbanit Dr. Adina Sternberg, we discuss the breakdown of leadership in the parsha as well as the fascinating correlation between Moshe's self-perception as a mother to the people with the laws of the 'rebellious son.' Our Bamidbar Series is exploring different forms of leadership in the book and in the Jewish world.

BH Are you a "Levi"? Or a "shekel"?
