Numbers 25:10 - 30:1

After looking at this week’s Parsha it became clear to me that relating it to anything relevant to our lives was going to be a stretch.  Lets be honest here.  It isn’t relevant.  Which spurred me to question why I was doing this --- not volunteering to do a drash, but why I was looking to the Torah for insight.

Numbers 16:1 - 18:32

"Korach's Lesson for Netivot Shalom"

Today's parsha is Korach, named after the Israelite arch-rebel, who dared to challenge the authority of Moses and Aaron in the desert.

Numbers 1:1 - 4:20

Shabbat Shalom!

Today we read from the Parasha Bamidbar, in the wilderness.  This Parasha begins the book of Numbers, a book filled with loving - and sometimes excessive - descriptions of the next 38 years that the Israelites spent wandering in the desert.

Leviticus 9:1 - 11:47

I see this parashat as a 3-act play:

Act 1: The Koheniim's big day, Levitucus 9:1-9:24
