Parsha Talk Pinchas 5784 2024
25/07/2024 Duration: 38minParsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. Parashat Pinchas [Numbers 25:10–30:1] begins with the end of the story from the last nine verses of last week’s parashah. Pinchas is apparently rewarded by God with a b’rit shalom [covenant of peace]. because he stilled God’s kin‘ah [translated as zealousness or jealousy]. We spent most of our conversation trying to understand this enigmatic story, and how the story of Pinchas relates to other stories we know from the Bible. Because our conversation took place on Wednesday, the day after th Fast of the 17th of Tammuz, which begins the 3-week period of mourning culminating with Tisha B’av [the Fast of the 9th of Av, coinciding withAugust 13], we also discussed the special haftarah from the 1st chapter of Jeremiah [more precisely, Jeremiah 1:1–2:3].

Parsha Talk Balak 5784 2024
19/07/2024 Duration: 41minParsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, BArry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. Parashat Balak [Numbers 22:2–25:9] follows closely on the events of last week. Balak, king of Moab, feels threatened by the approaching Israelites, and seeks help from Balaam, a prophet who lives in the wider neighborhood. Long before Mr. Ed featured a talking horse on TV, the Bible had its own story about a talking donkey, who rebukes Balaam for beating him when his path is blocked by an angel. Balaam finally arrives in the vicinity of the Israelite encampment where he proceeds to bless the people Israel several times, rather than curse them as he had been commissioned to do. The parashah concludes with half the account of the curious incident at Baal Pe’or, where the Israelites become involved in questionable behavior with Midianite women.

Parsha Talk Chukat 5784 2024
12/07/2024 Duration: 38minParsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. Parashat Huqqat [Numbers 19:1-22:1] contains some of the great passages in the Book of Numbers. It begins with the ritual of the red heifer, whose ashes are instrumental in the ritual response to corpse contamination. In the next scene Moses and Aaron respond to the people’s complaint about lack of water with a miracle that goes awry. While the waters are produce, Aaron and Moses are denied entrance into the Promised Land. By the end of the parashah, Aaron is dead, replaced as high priest by his oldest surviving son, Elazar. As this comes up every year at camp, we have talked about this many times in the past, but neither tire of it nor cease to find something new to say. Let us know how you think we did in the comments below or at parshatalk@gmail.com. As we have entered the 10th month of the war in Gaza, we continue to be mindful of the hostage and their families, and the men and women who defend Israel as soldiers in the Isr

Parsha Talk Korach 5784 2824
05/07/2024 Duration: 37minParsha talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmonofsky. Parashat Korach [Numbers 16-18] follows a similar pattern to Sh’lach L’kha last week. There are two chapters devoted to the main topic, in this case, the rebellions of Korach and others, followed by a chapter with a miscellany of laws. Parashat Tzitzit [Numbers 15:37–41], the paragraph about the ritual fringes which is the biblical source for the wearing of the tallit, the ritual shawl worn primarily during morning prayer services and became the third paragraph of the Sh’ma, the credal statement of rabbinic Judaism, is an appropriate conclusion to the story of the spies as well as an introduction to the rebellions of this week. We devoted most of our conversation this week to a discussion of the nature of the rebellion and how we might make sense of it today, with a little time left to chapter 18, which discusses, among other things, the proper perquisites of the priests and Levites. We hope you enjoy it! We are ever mindful of t

Parsha Talk Shlah Lekha 5784 2024
28/06/2024 Duration: 38minParsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. Parashat Sh’lakh, sometimes referred to as Sh’lakh L’kha [Numbers 13-15], is taken up mostly with the story of the Spies [Numbers 13-14], whose account to Moses and the people led to the adults of the generation of the Exodus dying in the wilderness. The only two adults who left Egypt and entered the land of Canaan are Joshua and Caleb, the two spies who saw the land for themselves and were prepared to conquer it. Even Moses and Aaron, both of whom survive into the fortieth year of wandering, die just short of entrance into the land. Each time one reads the story one finds it perplexing. What exactly did the spies do wrong? Was it really such a catastrophic sin? worse even than the Golden Calf? We spent our entire time discussing this enigmatic story, and still felt as if we had barely penetrated its surface. We are ever mindful of the hostages and their families, and the men and women who defend Israel as soldiers in the Israe
