Episode 217 - Parshat Bamidbar: Re-Creating Order

In this beautiful conversation with Gila Fine, we explore the textual complexities of the book of Bamidbar and uncover why it may be the most intricately organized book of the Torah. Moments of chaos and breakdown communicate the need for a new order, and this is exactly what the book of Bamidbar underscores. Our Bamidbar series will be focusing on issues of leadership but this first episode is an overview of the book. Check out our '7 Readings for a Post Oct. 7th World episode with Rachel Sharansky Danziger for another breathtaking look at the central themes of Bamidbar: https://www.matan.org.il/en/online/seven-biblical-readings-for-a-post-october-7th-world-episode-4-the-elongated-journey-with-rachel-sharansky-danziger/ This podcast episode is sponsored in honor of the birthday of Doba Isaacs and in memory of Vita Rachel bat Yaacov Bradfield z"l.
