In this episode of Parsha & Prose, Rabbi Shlomo Gemara and I explore the Torah portion of Chukat, focusing on the red heifer, a ch'ok—a divine statute beyond human understanding. We delve into the meaning behind this enigmatic commandment and why God gives us laws that defy comprehension. Additionally, we discuss the emotional weight of losing a sibling, as seen in the passing of Miriam and Aaron, Moses' sister and brother. Could Moses' act of striking the rock—against God's command to speak to it—stem from his overwhelming grief? We invite your questions and reflections on this parsha or any others we explore. Thank you for joining us—we’re deeply grateful. Am Yisrael Chai! Proud to be a Jew! ✡️ Why This Matters ✅Spiritual Depth: Uncovering the significance of Torah commandments we may never fully understand. ✅Emotional Truth: Seeing Moses not just as a leader, but as a brother, human, and mourner. ✅Timeless Teachings: Connecting ancient stories of loss and faith to modern experiences of grief and resilience. 💬 Join the Conversation: What part of this episode resonated with you the most?
