    Tzav: Why Some Sins Matter More
    Mar 26 2026

    Sins and violations are not always treated equally in the Torah and that can seem arbitrary.

    Make it easy for people.

    Sin offerings could be very expensive. But what of someone who cannot afford to bring these animals for a sacrifice? This issue is addressed in our Parsha. And it's not just about sacrifices.

    Sources: Lev. chap. 5, Laws of Shegagot 1:3, 10:1-5, Guide 3:46.

    Vayakhel-Pekudei: Where is the Glory of God?
    Mar 12 2026

    What is the kavod, the “glory” of God, so often referred to in the Bible? It settled on Mount Sinai and Moses begged to see it. All the earth is filled with it and Jeremiah teaches us to render glory to God. But what is it?

    In this episode we will answer not only these questions but a more pressing one: where is God's glory today?

    Sources: Ex. 24:16, 33:18, 40:, Isaiah 6:3, Jer. 13:16, Ps. 29:9,11, Guide 1:19, 54, 64, Kedusha of Mussaf for Shabbat.
