Parsha Talk Bereishit 5787 2026
Parashat B’ereshit [Genesis 1:1-6:8], the first parashah in the Book of Genesis, begins our annual journey through the Torah. Those of you who have been with us from the beginning know that this is our 7th journey of meeting nearly weekly to discuss the Torah and what it might mean to us, and to...
-
Parsha Talk Shmini Atzeret Simchat Torah 2026 5867
The parashah this week, Ve-zot Ha-b’rakhah [Deuteronomy 33-34] has the unusual distinction of not being read on Shabbat in the Diaspora. Because the observance of Simchat Torah is separated from Sh’mini Atzeret, Simchat Torah never falls on Shabbat in the Diaspora. The festival days of Sh’mini...
-
Parsha Talk Sukkot 2026 5787
There is no parashat ha-shavu’a this week since the beginning days of the holiday of Sukkot are on Shabbat and Sunday. As it turns out, the Torah reading on both days is the same, Leviticus 22:26-23:44, with the maftir from Numbers 29:12-16. We focused on the holiday as an expression of the...
-
Parsha Talk Shabbat Shuva 2026 5787
This year parashat Ha’azinu [Deuteronomy 32:1-52] coincides with Shabbat Shuvah, the Sabbath of Shuvah, which is the first word of the haftarah. There it appears as a verb, but in the phrase Shabbat Shuvah many translate it as a noun, the Sabbath of Repentance, which is the Shabbat between Rosh...
-
Parsha Talk Nitzavin Vayelech 5786 2026
Parashat Nitzavim-Va-yelekh [Deuteronomy 29:9-31:30] is the last of the 7 shabbatot of comfort following Tisha B’Av [the 9th of Av, commemorating the destruction of the 2 temples, among other disasters to befall the Jewish people]. The Torah reading puts forth the claim that the covenant being...
-
Parsha Talk Ki Tavo 5786_2026
Parashat Ki Tavo [Deuteronomy 26:1-29:8] features one of my favorite Torah passages, the ritual of the bringing of the first fruits. The Israelite farmer is instructed to bring his first fruits to the kohen [priest] and recite a sacred history, recounting how his ancestor was a wandering Aramean...
-
Parsha Talk Ki Tetzei 5786_2026
Parashat Ki Tetze [Deuteronomy 21:9-25:19 is, to use a phrase that Eliot likes to use, the most mitzvah dense parashah, meaning there are more mitzvot in this parashah, over 70 of the 613, than in any other. That astounding fact raises some intriguing questions, the first one perhaps being why?…
more -
Parsha Talk Shoftim 5786 2026
Parashat Shoftim [16:18-21:9] is another rich parashah in Sefer D’varim [Book of Deuteronomy]. Jeffrey Tigay divides into two major sections: Civil and Religious Authorities [16:18-18:22] and Judicial and Military Matters [19:1-21:9]. Our conversation also divided into two parts: a discussion of...
-
Parsha Talk Re'eh 5786.2026
Parashat Re’eh [Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17] is filled with interesting material, including the centralization of the cult in the Temple in Jerusalem, false prophets, dietary laws, the sabbatical year, and a holiday calendar. In our conversation this week we focused on simhah [joy], and how to...
-
Eytan Graubart (Rafi Carter interviewer) July 28, 2026
Eytan interviewed by our own Solelim camper Rafi Carter
-
Parsha Talk Va'ethanan 5786.2026
Parashat Va-et’hanan [Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11] features the Ten Commandments and the 1st paragraph of the Shema, to which we customarily refer as the Shema and Ve-ahavta. There are also a number of p’suqim [verses] which made their way into the liturgy. And there is still more. For example, the...

Winnie Grinspoon (Josh Archibald interviewer)
Josh Archibald (Gesher '26) interviews Winnie Sandler Grinspoon, president of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, in the studio of Radio Kol Ramah, Camp Ramah in the Berkshires.
-
Parsha Talk Devarim Shabbat Chazon 2026 5786
This week is Shabbat Hazon, taking its name from the opening word of the Haftarah [Isaiah 1:1-27], the 3rd haftarah of admonition or rebuke before Tisha B’Av. The Torah reading is parashat D’varim [Deuteromonomy 1:1-3:22], the 1st parashah in Sefer Devarim [Book of Deuteronomy]. As Jeffrey Tigay...

Amy Skopp Cooper (Tess Kenter interviewer) 20260709
Great interview by Tess Kenter of Amy Skopp Cooper on Camp Ramah!
-
Parsha Talk Mattot-Masei 5786 2026
Parashat Matot-Masei [Numbers 30:2-36:13] is the double portion that concludes our reading of the Sefer B’midbar [Book of Numbers]. As befits a double portion, the longest Torah reading of the year, it is filled with a variety of material, including the annulment of oaths and vows made by women…
more -
Parsha Talk Pinchas 2026 5786
Parashat Pinchas [Numbers 25:10-30:1] has a lot of interesting material, such as the denoument to the Pinchas episode from last week [25”10-18], the daughters of Zelophechad receiving the inheritance from their father [27:1-11], and the holodiay readings [28:1-30:1], But since this Shabbat is…
more -
Parsha Talk Hukkat Balak 5786 2026
Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. The double parashah Chukat-Balak [Numbers 19:1-25:9] is rich with interesting material, including the red heifer [Numbers 19], Moses & The Rock [Numbers 20:1-13], the prophet Balaam and the scene with the talking donkey [Numbers 22-24],...
-
Parsha Talk Korach 5786 2026
Parashat Korach [Numbers 16-18] is described by Jacob Milgrom as “Encroachment on the Tabernacle”. We know it better as the multi-layered account of a series of rebellions, the best known of which is Korach’s rebellion. However, the discerning reader can identify relatively easily 2 or 3 more…
more -
Parsha Talk Shlach Lekha 5786 2026
The main story in parashat Sh’lach [Numbers 13:1-15:41] is the tragedy of the spies. In some ways, this sin, the failure of the Israelites to recognize that their destiny is to conquer the land no matter what the odds, is their greatest sin. For the rabbis, there seems to be little question, for...
-
Parsha Talk Beha'alotkha 5786 2026
Parashat B-ha’alotcha [Numbers 8:1-12:16] is a particularly rich parasha, with passages about, among other things, the menorah, the second Passover for those unable to make the Passover sacrifice in Nisan, the trumpets whose blasts would summon the people to act in certain prescribed ways, and...
-
Parsha Talk Naso 5786 2026
Parashat Naso [Numbers 4:21-7:89] features, among other things, the law of the suspected adulteress [sotah in Hebrew], the nazir [the person who seeks more piety than is required by normative biblical law], and the gifts of the chieftains in chapter 7, at 89 verses the longest in the Torah.…
more -
Parsha Talk Shavuot 5786
This Friday and Shabbat is the holiday of Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks, also known as Hag Ha-biqqurim, the pilgrimage of first fruits and z’man matan torateinu, the season of the giving of the Torah. As Jeremy explained the midrash, the rabbis were sensitive to the notion of the giving of the…
more -
Parsha Talk Bemidbar 5786 2026
Parashat B’midbar [Numbers 1:1-4:20] is the first parashah in Sefer B’midbar [Book of Numbers]. There are a lot of names and numbers, the opening chapters detailing the census of the Israelites in the second month of the second year of their journey in the wilderness. There are numbers provided…
more -
Parsha Talk Behar-Bechukotai 2026 5786
Parashat B’har-B’hukotai [Leviticus 25-27] is the concluding parashah of Sefer Va-yiqra [Book of Leviticus]. The parashah may be divided into three parts: 25:1-26:2, which Baruch Levine entitles “The Principles of Land Tenure”, 26:3-46, the “Epilogue of the Holiness Code”, featuring the tokheha...
-
Parsha Talk Emor 202605786
Parashat Emor [Leviticus 21-24] contains laws about the כהנים [kohanim, priests] [chapters 21-22, the holidays [chapter 23], and a miscellanea of laws [chapter 24], which includes one of the few events in Leviticus, that of the blasphemer. We focused on the holidays, in part because chapter 23 is...
-
Parsha Talk Acharei Mot-Kedoshim 2026 5786
Parashat Acharei Mot-Q’doshim [Leviticus 16-20] includes, according to Rabbi Aqiva, the great principle of the Torah [Lev. 19:18], “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”. This verse is actually the second half of the verse, which begins with the injunction to not take vengeance or bear a…
