Judaism From Within

Parshat Balak

In this week’s discussion, Rav Hirsch looks at things from a slightly different viewpoint than we are used to. We delve in to the 3 locations where Balak asked Bilaam to curse the camp of Israel and what insights these places give to his motivations and how he tried to vanquish the power of Klal Yisrael. We also learn how the nation of Israel withstood these attacks and what makes us truly a people of G-d. Enjoy

Parshat Chukas

Rav Hirsch takes a perplexing commandment that most people write off as nothing to learn from, and transforms it in to an intricate composition of life lessons. Each law further explains the fundamental Mitzwah of the Parah Aduma and the symbolic message it comes to bring us. Learn how we can take the idea of the Parah Aduma today and use it to enhance our lives as Jews. Enjoy.

Parshat Korach

Rebellion and Leadership
This week, we will discuss Korach from the viewpoint of Rav Hirsch’s torah insight. What were Korach’s motivations and how did he put them in to practice?
