parshat matot-masei

This week we read a double parshah.. Bamidbar (Numbers) 30:2-36:13. Go read it. I’ll wait.

Oh, back so soon? Go on, finish the whole thing. It’s really not that long….

Ok. It’s unrelated but please, read this.

Nechama is vexingly silent on the small bit I want to really learn.

read the first portion again please.

Ok. I’ll let you mull it over for a while. I have been for years. There’s a lot in there and I don’t feel I have the skills to begin.

Some links to d’vrei torah of interest (random ordering):

1. The power of words (radical torah)
2. vows and obligations (radical torah)
3. a way yet to go (radical torah)
4. oath of office (torah.org)
5. jofa

That’s all I’ve got for now. Not the great post I was looking forward to..

Next week we start Devarim (Deuteronomy).
