From Temple of Miriam:
Study the Budding of Aaron's Staff📜✨ Why Did Aaron’s Staff Bloom with Almonds Overnight? ✨🌸
A dry stick suddenly comes alive — blossoming flowers and almonds. What secret power did it hold? Was it a divine message, magical proof, or Kabbalistic symbol of authority?
🕍 Join us for Kabbalist Parsha Study: Korach
📖 Numbers 16:1–18:32
🗓 Tuesday 6/24
🕔 5 PM PT
💻 On Zoom at TempleOfMiriam.com.Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMlfuuuqDgsEtY7me1ukZBcqsZtLuPRRGjD#/registration
At Temple of Miriam, we don’t just read the Parsha — we decode it. Discover the mystical meanings behind rebellion, divine authority, and Aaron’s enchanted staff. This is Torah through the lens of ancient Jewish mysticism, symbolism, and spiritual power.
🧙♂️ Open to seekers, skeptics, and sages alike. Come curious — leave transformed. Hebrew fluency not necessary.

CW: Torah, Marriage, Infidelity
I love this way of looking at the Sotah ritual in this week's parsha. The whole explanation is good, but I think these are the key points of this interpretation.
Absent Hashem making these innocuous ingredients deadly, the Sotah ritual takes a husband who was worried about his wife spending time alone with a particular man, whom he had asked her not to see like that and then does, and provides the choice for the wife to separate amicably with him being obligated to the get, or the husband gets a demonstration of her divine absolution by Hashem.
As they put it, a method for the marriage to continue if she chooses, or end if she feels he has been irreconcilably unfair to her.

Whose Truth
Sometimes women with voices are shut out of the camp. But that’s not the end of the story.
Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg
Apr 8, 2024"...Right, so only Miriam gets tzaraat...
And only she is punished.
Only she is maligned.
Only she is sent away.
The thing is this: The text never says that the Kushite wife thing that caused Miriam and Aaron to "speak against" Moses about wasn't true.
...Most of the women murdered as witches were, in some way, woman who didn't have the protection of a man with power...or those who were racial or religious others (Quakers in a Puritan community, eg).
...All of these things were part of the larger system of which the discrediting of female healers was a part.
We must always be attuned to questions like:
What narrative are we trying to advance, and whose interests does this serve?
Whose voices might be suppressed in the process?

"Rabbi Bashevkin shared that he hopes listeners to his shiurim on the All #Parsha app will realize that #Jewish history and learning the parsha are the same story unfolding with two different narrators. “I’m hoping people will walk away with an excitement to want to learn more about our own story. This is your story … the most exciting one in all of world history.”
“Reading Jewish History in the Parsha” is available on the Orthodox Union All Parsha app, which can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play."

Parsha Chayei Sara:
This is more on the frivolous side, but...
I wish I was half the storyteller that Abraham's senior servant is.
I don't mean in terms of loquaciousness, I mean cold hard facts. Not only does the man recite every key detail to Laban, exactly as it happened, but he does it before he eats a bite!
My approach to telling stories is dwelling for far too long on trivial parts whilst glossing over the salient facts. The worst part is, I don't even know what the salient facts are.
Well, who's to say you know what your recipient's ears need more than HaShem? If you're recounting a tale, give them the facts. Don't overstate *or* understate. There's time to wax lyrical after that, but we all need the facts.
Be more like Abraham? Of course.
Be more like Abraham's senior servant? You better, you bet!#mazeldon #parsha #parshah #parshahthoughts #torah #torahstudy

Avram is no gung-ho superhero, no conquerer, no Superman, no Rambo. He is stricken with anxiety, with self-doubt, with conflict, with blame. The crushing weight of responsibility sits on his shoulders - After an exhausting night of defending the carcasses of sacrifice, "a great dark dread descended upon him." Rashi says this is representative of the woes and gloom of the Jews in exile. But for Avraham, he is as a nation, a people within himself - with all the internal struggle that that entails. More on that come Parsha Vayera!
After all that, he'd be forgiven for being an overly-serious grinch. But this founding patriarch is no self-aggrandising pompous stoic! His very first action under the name Avraham is to laugh in the face of God and doubt the efficacy of his loins!
I don't have a blog, but I'm starting to see the appeal.

The plagues that afflict the Pharoah and his household - the very ones Avram feared would kill him - are on account of Sarai. And that which Avram acquires thanks to her is from the Egyptians: The Jewish nation will be strangers among them for many years to come, and yet it is their riches that helped sustain the creation of Am Yisrael.
And so what is his response to the King of Sodom's offer of possessions for persons? "You shall not say, ‘It is I who made Avram rich.’" Because that would be a falsehood - Avram was made rich by many before him!

In turn, they are sustained by the tents he pitches, the altars he builds, the lives he saves, the nation he will birth. It is worth mentioning that the first time Avram is told of the land being assigned (Bereshit 12:7), it is assigned only to his offspring, not directly to him. His name will be made great, but the great name in question is the one he will be given. The goal he is pursuing is one he will never personally witness.
And so it goes on, with Sarai's support - "Please say that you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that I may remain alive thanks to you."
"And because of her, it went well with Avram; he acquired sheep, oxen, donkeys, male and female slaves, jennies, and camels." (it is worth mentioning that according to Midrash, this bounty includes Hagar!)

After a very satisfying hour of Torah study...
A Layman's Thoughts on Parsha Lech-Lecha:
I begin with an aside: Gematria and that sort of number-coincidence thing aren't really for me, but it feels worthwhile to at least mention that in the year that Israel turned 75, this is the parsha where Avram is mentioned as being 75 at the start of his journey. Now, on with the show.
Selfless In Every Sense, or; The Model Of The Torahic Hero
Everything Avram achieved was supported by someone else.
Everything Avram achieved was in support of someone else.
He is selfless in both senses of the word - without others, he is nothing, but they too are sustained by his actions."Go forth from your native land, your father's house." His upbringing, and indeed his entire adulthood, shaped him. This is a 75 year old man with 75 years of life lessons and personal influences. The self-made man is a myth!

Everything Avram achieved was supported by someone else.
Everything Avram achieved was in support of someone else.
He is selfless in both senses of the word - without others, he is nothing, but they too are sustained by his actions."Go forth from your native land, your father's house." His upbringing, and indeed his entire adulthood, shaped him. This is a 75 year old man with 75 years of life lessons and personal influences. The self-made man is a myth!

After a very satisfying hour of Torah study...
A Layman's Thoughts on Parsha Lech-Lecha:
I begin with an aside: Gematria and that sort of number-coincidence thing aren't really for me, but it feels worthwhile to at least mention that in the year that Israel turned 75, this is the parsha where Avram is mentioned as being 75 at the start of his journey. Now, on with the show.
Selfless In Every Sense, or; The Model Of The Torahic Hero

I also love Shabbos and occasionally write about it, or about the weekly #Parsha. This account is mostly for my Hebrew posts, whereas I have another, less active account, on c.im (accessible from my profile here), for longer posts in English.Feel free to follow either account or both!
