Kol Ramah

Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky bring us Parsha Talk! Parashat Balak [Numbers 22:2–25:9] is the second of the three parashiyot [portions] in Numbers named after a person. The Balak in question is the King of Moab, who sends away for a rent-a-prophet to come curse the Israelites. The prophet in question is Balaam first is forbidden by God to come, then receive permission. This sets the stage for one of the best known stories in biblical literature, the talking donkey [this was thousands of years before Mr. Ed, for those old enough to catch the reference!]. For the rabbis, this talking donkey was already prepared that first Friday afternoon of Creation. According to the Mishnah, Tractate Avot, this donkey is one of 10 things, all of a miraculous nature, created that first week, as if to suggest that if a miracle is part of nature, it is not quite the subversion of nature we often associate with miracles. This story of Balak and Balaam, which takes up most of the parashah, also t

Parsha Talk broadcast directly from Camp Ramah , with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy KalmanofskyI, It is an early edition of Parashah Talk since I am on my way to Israel tonight for a professional development conference in Jerusalem under the auspices of Legacy Heritage Fund. Our parashah [Chukkat, Numbers 19:1-22:1] is one that we discussed more than once in our summers at Camp Ramah in the Berkshires but still there are new things to say. We cover some of the ground we have previously covered but add, we hope, additional insights. Among the topics are the ritual of the red heifer, Moses & The Rock, and the death of Aaron. At 40+ minutes this is one of our longer episodes, yet it seems yet again, that we have barely scratched the surface. A Happy July 4th to those in or citizens of the United States; and Shabbat Shalom to one and all!
