Episode 270 - Parshat Bha'alotcha: Taking Initiative in the Desert

This week's episode with Dr. Ayelet Hoffman Libson explores the parsha's depiction of the nation in transition--between the idyllic depiction in the first ten chapters of the book and the series of complaints that follow. Our guest offers a novel and moving interpretation of this narrative flow. This week we temporarily returned to parsha study, because the Haftarah is read from Zecharya 2-4 which we explored in episode 247 with R. Alex Israel because the same portion is read on Shabbat Channukah. https://www.matan.org.il/en/online/episode-247-parshat-miketz-rebuilding-with-spirit-and-might/ This week's episode has been dedicated by Michelle Feiglin in memory of her grandson Neriya Yosef Hoshea Ben Gidon & Avital in honor of his second yarzheit on the 8th of Sivan. This year The Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah reading.
