CHUKAT - THE WAY OF WATER

Rabbi Dunner explores the significance of water as a metaphor for Torah and spiritual sustenance. Beginning with the story of Rabbi Akiva's realization of the power of water, prompted by observing water drops wearing away a rock, Rabbi Dunner cites the dreadful story of the water crisis in Flint, MI, comparing it to the biblical narrative regarding the water stopping its flow from Miriam's well in Parshat Chukat. Rabbi Dunner emphasizes the importance of pure, untainted leadership and continuous spiritual nourishment for the Jewish people.
