  • Beha'alotcha: Finding a Second Act

    Beha'alotcha: Finding a Second Act
    Jun 21 2024

    If that were the end of the passage, we would understand that Levites retire entirely at the age of 50. However, the next verse continues:

    (26) However, they shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, but they shall do no service. You shall do thus to the Levites concerning their duties."

    This is a little confusing. Are they to minister in the Tabernacle after the age of fifty, or not?

  • Bemidbar: The Levites Overtake the Firstborns but Failure Does Not

    Bemidbar: The Levites Overtake the Firstborns but Failure Does Not
    Jun 6 2024

    Notice, the verse tells Moses to Take the Levites because the firstborn are holy. That doesn’t make sense.

    Shouldn’t it say take the Levites because the Levites are holy or it should saythe firstborn are holy, so take them?

    Surely, it does not make sense to take the tribe of Levi for God because the firstborns were saved in Egypt!

    Bechukotai: "If"
    May 31 2024

    What does the im, supposedly "if" really mean? The Sages tell us it means something much more meaningful than just "if." This word opens our Torah portion and contains within it so much more.

    Take three minutes to the Parsha Pick-Me-Up to learn more.
