Description

In this conversation with Dr. Tanya White, we discuss the theological import of the parsha’s unusual point of view, the parallels between Pharaoh and Balak’s fear of Israel, and why coming to conclusions based on incomplete perceptions is a destructive behavior.

This week’s episode has been sponsored by Carole Damon in memory of her father Simcha Yisroel ben Shmuel whose yartzeit is on the 6th of Tammuz.

Our Bamidbar Series explores different forms of leadership in the book and in the Jewish world.
