The Choshen, worn by the High Priest (Kohen Gadol), is intricately connected to the Ephod through two special gemstones known as the Avnei Shoham on his shoulders. Adorned with the names of the twelve tribes, both the Avnei Shoham and the stones on the Choshen serve as a reminder, as commanded by the Torah. But what significance does this hold? Why the emphasis on remembrance? Exploring this connection unveils profound insights relevant especially today - during our war in Israel against the evil of the world! 🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe 👉 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Talking_Torah ✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno ➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Book of Exodus ספר שמות

This week, we embark on constructing the Mishkan as Hashem instructs Moshe on crafting its various vessels. Amidst the holiest of sanctuaries, besides the Ark and Kruvim, we encounter a lesser-known vessel: the Kaporet. The Torah dedicates special attention to it, highlighting it as the locus of divine communication. Referred to later as the "House of Kaporet," its significance begs exploration: What is the Kaporet's symbolism and purpose within the sacred space? Let's delve deeper into its meaning. 🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe 👉 Follow us on Twitter -   / talking_torah   ✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno ➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Book of Exodus ספר שמות

In the latter part of the parsha, post-Matan Torah and after the "Mishpatim" are given over, Hashem mentions sending a "Malach" (an Angel) to lead Am Yisrael, and promising prosperity through adherence to commandments.Contrastingly, in Bamidbar after the Golden Calf incident, Hashem wants to punish Am Yisrael by sending a "Malach" to lead the way instead of Him, and the notion of an Angel leading the way - leads to outcry by Am Yisrael. What's the difference? Why does the mention of an Angel evoke varied responses? What is this "Malach" about - what is a "Malach" about?? 🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe 👉 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Talking_Torah ✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno ➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Book of Exodus ספר שמות

Delving into the essence of the Ten Commandments, this week's discussion takes a unique perspective. We ponder a seemingly straightforward question: If these are commandments, where is the command? Instead of jumping into the specifics, we question this name - if these are commandments - why does the Torah start with "I am your God" - where is the commandment?? How does this align with the concept of commandments, or is there a linguistic nuance lost in translation...? Could it be that "commandments" isn't the right term...? Join us as we explore the profound meaning behind the term "Ten Commandments" and consider whether it accurately reflects the original Hebrew intent. 🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe 👉 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Talking_Torah ✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno ➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Book of Exodus ספר שמות

Diving into the conclusion of the Parsha, we delve into the well-known clash with Amalek. While this battle has been a topic of discussion before in several of our videos, our focus this time is on its technical nuances. The intriguing questions emerge: What prompts Moshe to raise his hands, and what significance does this gesture hold? The correlation between the elevation of Moshe's hands and the shifting tides of the battle raises curiosity. Equally puzzling is the involvement of Aharon and Chur, supporting Moshe's hands. These technical aspects unfold a tapestry of profound lessons, particularly relevant for us during this time when we have our war going on in our land against the evil of our time.

As the plagues intensify in Egypt, the plague of darkness stands out as a unique phenomenon. Unlike the fiery hail or the menace of lions, darkness seems less overtly terrifying. Yet, this plague holds a distinct place as the penultimate plague. Delving into its significance prompts us to ponder: What made darkness so formidable that even after its departure, Pharaoh succumbed to fear and conceded to Moses' demands to let Am Yisrael go (just without their cattle)? Unraveling the mystery of this plague sheds light on its deeper implications and its pivotal role in the narrative - and an incredible lesson for us - today! 🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe 👉 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Talking_Torah ✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno ➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Book of Exodus ספר שמות

As Moshe confronts Pharaoh, initiating the display of Signs and Plagues as instructed by Hashem, we encounter Pharaoh's cadre of magician-priests (Chartumim) who exhibit the ability to perform similar magical feats. Remarkably, their response raises intriguing questions. Rather than refuting or reversing Moshe's miracles to assert equality, they replicate them. This raises a logical query: If their intention is to demonstrate parity with Moshe, why don't they counteract his miracles instead of duplicating them? The perplexity deepens when, faced with a plague like frogs, Pharaoh doesn't enlist his magicians to resolve it but turns to Moshe for assistance. This prompts us to explore the motives behind the magician-priests' actions and understand why, in critical moments, Pharaoh seeks Moshe's intervention over his own magical retinue - what were they trying to prove - and what incredible lesson does the Torah have for us, today! 🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe 👉 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Talking_Torah ✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno ➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Book of Exodus; ספר שמות

In Parashat Shemot, a peculiar incident unfolds as Moshe, en route from Midyan to Egypt, stops at a lodging place, and suddenly, the Torah cryptically mentions that Hashem sought to kill him! These verses are concise and somewhat enigmatic, intensifying the intrigue of this narrative. What transpired in this episode? Why did Hashem contemplate Moshe's demise? The resolution comes when Tzipora circumcises her son, a gesture that averts the impending danger. This raises several questions: What prompted Hashem's initial intent? Why did circumcising Moshe's son serve as a remedy? This perplexing episode invites us to delve into its depths, uncovering the profound lesson that the Torah imparts through this mysterious incident. 🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe 👉 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Talking_Torah ✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno ➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Book of Numbers ספר שמות

After returning from burying Yaakov, the brothers express worries that Yoseph might harbor resentment and seek revenge now that their father is no longer alive. This unexpected anxiety prompts questions: Why are the brothers suddenly apprehensive about Yoseph's feelings? What could have led to this fear? And how does Yoseph respond to their concerns? Join us as we understand better their relationship - and one of the most important lessons that seal for us Sefer Bereshit!

This week, we delved into Yehuda's impactful speech as he approached Yosef—an address that moved Yosef to tears, prompting him to disclose his true identity. Upon examining the verses, a crucial question arises: What distinguishes this speech? Yehuda appears to merely recount the prior conversation with Yosef, repeatedly saying, "we said this" and "you said that." What significance lies in this repetition, and what was Yehuda's intention in narrating the story in this manner? Additionally, there's a notable absence of mention regarding Binyamin.

In this week's exploration, we delve into the opening scenes of the Parsha, featuring Pharaoh's two renowned dreams. What makes these dreams particularly unsettling for Pharaoh? What elements within them shake him to the core? Moreover, we investigate the swift transition in Yosef's response, moving seamlessly from interpreting the dreams to providing guidance on what Pharaoh ought to do.

This week, we delved into the well-known narrative of Potiphar's wife and her desire for Yosef. However, a critical question emerges regarding the unfolding events: if Potiphar's wife was consistently pursuing Yosef and genuinely infatuated with him, why did her behavior abruptly shift on the day when Yosef fled, accusing him before others of trying to seduce her? Why didn't she persist in her pursuit the next day - like she did every single day till then? What transpired to trigger this sudden change? What were the true intentions of Potiphar's wife?? Join us as we explore the intricacies of this story, seeking to unravel the motivations behind her actions and the underlying dynamics at play. 🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe 👉 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Talking_Torah ✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno ➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Book of Genesis ספר בראשית
