Kol Ramah

Join our Gesher campers for their radio show, discussions ranging from favourite pizzas to sport.

Parsha Talk : with rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. Beginning with the Fast of the 17th of Tammuz, this year marked on the 18th of Tammuz [July 17] because we do not do this type of fast on Shabbat, the Jewish community begins the the 3 Weeks of Punishment or Admonition, which culminate with the observance of the Fast of Tisha B’Av , this year observed on the 10th of Av [August 7], commemorating the destruction of the two temples, among other disasters which befell the Jewish community. Unlike most haftarot [the prophetic readings which follow the Shabbat and Holiday Torah Readings], the haftarot beginning with the Shabbat after the Fast of the 17th of Tammuz are anchored in a particular conception of Jewish history. The three weeks between the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of Av feature haftarot from the first 2 chapters of Jeremiah and the first chapter of Isaiah. Shabbat Nachamu, the Sabbath of Comfort or Consolation, which is the first Shabbat after Tisha B’Av features a haftarah

Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky present Parsha Talk. Parashat Pinchas [Numbers 25:10-30:1] is the parashah that is most read from during the year, since the maftir reading for Rosh Chodesh and the holidays comes from chapters 28-29. But there is a lot more here, including the end of the story which began at the end of Balak last week. There, the Israelites go astray at Baal Peor and Pinchas takes matters into his own hands by killing two people caught in fragrante delicto. Parashat Balak ends with the notice of 24,000 Israelites dying in the plague. This week the focus is on Pinchas and God’s response to his deed. We talked about this, but also about Moshe, commanded here to go up the mountain for a look at the Promised Land that he will not enter, and what that might mean to him. And, there is the appointment of Joshua as his successor. Still, there is much more we might have discussed. So listen now, and come back next year! Shabbat Shalom!!

Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky bring us Parsha Talk! Parashat Balak [Numbers 22:2–25:9] is the second of the three parashiyot [portions] in Numbers named after a person. The Balak in question is the King of Moab, who sends away for a rent-a-prophet to come curse the Israelites. The prophet in question is Balaam first is forbidden by God to come, then receive permission. This sets the stage for one of the best known stories in biblical literature, the talking donkey [this was thousands of years before Mr. Ed, for those old enough to catch the reference!]. For the rabbis, this talking donkey was already prepared that first Friday afternoon of Creation. According to the Mishnah, Tractate Avot, this donkey is one of 10 things, all of a miraculous nature, created that first week, as if to suggest that if a miracle is part of nature, it is not quite the subversion of nature we often associate with miracles. This story of Balak and Balaam, which takes up most of the parashah, also t
