In This Week’s Parsha: Chukas
Even King Solomon, the wisest of men, couldn’t understand the mysteries of the red heifer, a cow that was burned and its ashes used to purify people. Our Sages say that it atones for the sin of the Golden Calf. “Let the mother come and clean up the mess of […]
IN THIS WEEK’S PARSHA: SHLACH
The Torah gives us the mitzvah of Tzitzis, the command to place fringes on a four-cornered garment. The fringes would include one made of Techeiles, wool dyed a special shade of blue. It was intended to remind us of the sea, which would remind us of the sky, which would remind […]
