In this week's discussion, we explored the commandment to respect the elderly. The Torah emphasizes this by first instructing to rise in their presence and then to honor them. Additionally, it concludes the verse with "and you shall fear God, I am God." The obvious and first question is - why the repetition - why double this commandment?But besides that, looking at the verse, you also have to ask - why the seemingly unrelated statement? Why end the verse with that statement?Interestingly, we encounter this phrase of "and you shall fear God, I am God" again in our Parsha, particularly in the commandment against cursing a deaf person or obstructing a blind person. There too we find a double commandment, but unlike by us, there the additional statement at the end of the verse of "you shall fear God" actually makes sense - which increases the question by us - so what is it doing by us??Join us as we delve into the significance of this directive and its broader implications, and on top of it - its relevancy for us today!🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe👉 Follow us on Twitter -  / talking_torah ✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha ספר ויקרא פרשת קדושים

This week's Parsha delves into the intricacies of a mother's obligation to bring a sacrifice after childbirth.
What sets this commandment apart is the Torah's provision for two distinct options: a lamb or a bird. Interestingly, the choice depends on the mother's financial capacity. If she can afford it, a lamb is preferred, but if not, a bird suffices.
This principle of offering different animals based on wealth recurs in various other contexts within Jewish law.
The question arises: Why does the Torah present this commandment in such a nuanced manner?
Typically, biblical commandments are straightforward—"do X"—without accounting for personal circumstances.
Yet here, the Torah introduces flexibility, suggesting "ideally X, but if not, then Y."
This approach prompts us to explore deeper meanings behind this commandment, the reasoning behind this sacrifice brought by the new mother - and important lessons for us today.

After months of meticulous work on the Mishkan, inauguration day arrives in this week's Parsha. However, amidst the jubilation, great tragedy strikes as fire descends from the sky, claiming the lives of Nadav and Avihu. In the aftermath, Moshe issues a startling command to Aharon, Elazar, and Itamar: they are forbidden to mourn.These commands raise several thought-provoking questions, on top of all - how are they expected to suppress their natural human emotions and refrain from mourning the deaths of their beloved family members?Moreover, why does this situation differ from the customary practices observed by Kohanim that should mourn the loss of one of their “7 close relatives”??Delving deeper into this command, we uncover profound insights relevant to our contemporary challenges and what our nation has been facing the past 6 months.🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe👉 Follow us on Twitter -  / talking_torah ✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha ספר ויקרא פרשת שמיני

As we conclude the book of Shemot and the construction of the Mishkan, Hashem instructs Moshe to set it up. A notable emphasis is placed on the verb "setting up" (קום) in the Torah.
Why does the Torah underscore this action?
Furthermore, why was it specifically Moshe tasked with this responsibility?
Why not Bezalel who built all the Mishkan, or Aharon who was in charge of all the work in the Mishkan?
Delving into these questions reveals deeper insights into the significance of the Mishkan's establishment and Moshe's role in its completion, and on top of that - incredible important lessons for us today. Join us as we explore these intriguing aspects of Torah wisdom.

In this week's portion, Moshe appoints Bezalel Ben Uri to oversee the construction of the Mishkan.
Interestingly, Moshe introduces Bezalel's selection by saying, "Look, I have called the name of Bezalel..."
This raises intriguing questions:
Where was Bezalel summoned, and why this particular phrasing? What does it mean "look" - what are Am Yisrael supposed to look at?What does it signify to "call the name" of Bezalel?
Delving into these nuances, we uncover profound insights into individual purpose and our responsibilities in the world today.

In the final passages of the Parsha, Moshe descends from Mount Sinai carrying the new Luchot. However, his return is marked by a striking physical transformation: his face is radiant with an otherworldly glow. This radiant countenance captivates the attention of Aharon and Am Yisrael, evoking a mixture of awe and trepidation. This remarkable occurrence prompts questions: What does it mean that his face was shining? Why this time? Moshe has spoken to Hashem in Shamaym several times already! And what's the significance of Moshe wearing a mask afterward, except when speaking with Hashem? Delving into these queries unravels deeper layers of insight into Moshe's divine connection, our divine connection - and the Torah being the most important words we have.🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe👉 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Talking_Torah✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Book of Exodus ספר שמות

The Choshen, worn by the High Priest (Kohen Gadol), is intricately connected to the Ephod through two special gemstones known as the Avnei Shoham on his shoulders. Adorned with the names of the twelve tribes, both the Avnei Shoham and the stones on the Choshen serve as a reminder, as commanded by the Torah. But what significance does this hold? Why the emphasis on remembrance?

This week, we embark on constructing the Mishkan as Hashem instructs Moshe on crafting its various vessels. Amidst the holiest of sanctuaries, besides the Ark and Kruvim, we encounter a lesser-known vessel: the Kaporet.The Torah dedicates special attention to it, highlighting it as the locus of divine communication. Referred to later as the "House of Kaporet," its significance begs exploration: What is the Kaporet's symbolism and purpose within the sacred space?

In the latter part of the parsha, post-Matan Torah and after the "Mishpatim" are given over, Hashem mentions sending a "Malach" (an Angel) to lead Am Yisrael, and promising prosperity through adherence to commandments.Contrastingly, in Bamidbar after the Golden Calf incident, Hashem wants to punish Am Yisrael by sending a "Malach" to lead the way instead of Him, and the notion of an Angel leading the way - leads to outcry by Am Yisrael. What's the difference? Why does the mention of an Angel evoke varied responses?

Delving into the essence of the Ten Commandments, this week's discussion takes a unique perspective. We ponder a seemingly straightforward question: If these are commandments, where is the command? Instead of jumping into the specifics, we question this name - if these are commandments - why does the Torah start with "I am your God" - where is the commandment??How does this align with the concept of commandments, or is there a linguistic nuance lost in translation...? Could it be that "commandments" isn't the right term...?Join us as we explore the profound meaning behind the term "Ten Commandments" and consider whether it accurately reflects the original Hebrew intent.🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe👉 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Talking_Torah✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Book of Exodus ספר שמות

The intriguing questions emerge: What prompts Moshe to raise his hands, and what significance does this gesture hold?
The correlation between the elevation of Moshe's hands and the shifting tides of the battle raises curiosity. Equally puzzling is the involvement of Aharon and Chur, supporting Moshe's hands.
These technical aspects unfold a tapestry of profound lessons, particularly relevant for us during this time when we have our war going on in our land against the evil of our time.

As the plagues intensify in Egypt, the plague of darkness stands out as a unique phenomenon. Unlike the fiery hail or the menace of lions, darkness seems less overtly terrifying.Yet, this plague holds a distinct place as the penultimate plague.Delving into its significance prompts us to ponder: What made darkness so formidable that even after its departure, Pharaoh succumbed to fear and conceded to Moses' demands to let Am Yisrael go (just without their cattle)?

As Moshe confronts Pharaoh, initiating the display of Signs and Plagues as instructed by Hashem, we encounter Pharaoh's cadre of magician-priests (Chartumim) who exhibit the ability to perform similar magical feats.Remarkably, their response raises intriguing questions. Rather than refuting or reversing Moshe's miracles to assert equality, they replicate them. This raises a logical query: If their intention is to demonstrate parity with Moshe, why don't they counteract his miracles instead of duplicating them?The perplexity deepens when, faced with a plague like frogs, Pharaoh doesn't enlist his magicians to resolve it but turns to Moshe for assistance.This prompts us to explore the motives behind the magician-priests' actions and understand why, in critical moments, Pharaoh seeks Moshe's intervention over his own magical retinue - what were they trying to prove - and what incredible lesson does the Torah have for us, today!

After returning from burying Yaakov, the brothers express worries that Yoseph might harbor resentment and seek revenge now that their father is no longer alive. This unexpected anxiety prompts questions: Why are the brothers suddenly apprehensive about Yoseph's feelings? What could have led to this fear? And how does Yoseph respond to their concerns?

This week, we delved into Yehuda's impactful speech as he approached Yosef—an address that moved Yosef to tears, prompting him to disclose his true identity. Upon examining the verses, a crucial question arises: What distinguishes this speech? Yehuda appears to merely recount the prior conversation with Yosef, repeatedly saying, "we said this" and "you said that."What significance lies in this repetition, and what was Yehuda's intention in narrating the story in this manner? Additionally, there's a notable absence of mention regarding Binyamin.

In Parashat Vayishlach, we confront the distressing account of Shechem, the son of Chamor, kidnapping and assaulting Dina.As we delve into the sequence of events depicted in the Torah, a puzzling question arises: Why is this narrative situated at this particular juncture?

This week, our focus turned towards the end of the Parsha. Before Yaakov's return to Eretz Yisrael, the Torah presents several reasons influencing his decision:Initially, it is mentioned that Lavan's sons accused Yaakov of stealing from their father and claimed that all his honor was derived from Lavan.Subsequently, the Torah notes that Yaakov observed a change in Lavan's attitude towards him – "Lavan's face" was not as amicable as it had been in the recent past.Finally, Hashem instructs Yaakov to return to Eretz Yisrael.The question arises:Why does the Torah offer these multiple justifications? Wouldn't Hashem's directive alone suffice as a reason for Yaakov's return? In these seemingly straightforward verses, there lies an invaluable lesson, particularly relevant to us today, especially during these weeks.
