1. Hoshea 9-11 - Matan Al HaPerek

   Rabbi David Sabato

    Perek 9 is divided into two sections – the first section (1-9) predicts the cessation of happiness
   and holidays in Israel because of the exile. In the second section (10-17), the historical events
   which brought the nation to this predicament from the time of the founding of the nation are
   listed. These types of references are made in the coming perakim as well.

2. Haftarat Para and Parshat Ki Tisa

   Rabbi Mosheh Lichtenstein | 23 minutes

   Parashat Para deals with the issue of tum’at met. The Haftara goes an additional step to compare sin to tuma (impurity) and uses the metaphor of tuma and tahara to relate to the sins and purification process  of Bnei Yisrael. Interestingly, the beginning of the haftara relates not to tumat met, but to nidda.  We compare the two types of impurity found in Vayikra and Bemidbar. We end with a message of hope that relates to the regular Parasha (Ki Tisa)-about the rehabilitation of the relationship between God and Israel after the Sin of the Golden Calf.

3. Nitzavim-Vayeilech: Where's the Happy Ending?

   Rabbi David Fohrman |

   In this video, the first of a three-part series, we ask about God's odd prophecy to Moses at the end of the Torah. As Moses is about to die, why does God tell him about how the Israelites will ruin everything? Rabbi Fohrman hints that Moses has the power to help us get out of a vicious cycle, which we will explore in next week's video.
