  1. Seeing God or Being Seen By God (Audio)

    Rabbi Elyakim Krumbein | 7 minutes

    Who is being seen during the Temple pilgrimage sacrifices—God or the members of Bnei Yisrael? The grammar and vocalization of the phrasing is strange and unclear. This tension is explored by examining momentous instances in Tanakh where there is a phrase relating to "seeing God's face"—such as the place of the Akeida and where Yaakov wrestles with the mysterious figure.

  5. Face to Face with God: Moshe on Har Sinai

    Dr. Yael Ziegler | 54 minutes

    This lecture discusses the relationship the “panim el panim” relationship that Moshe had with God, and what it means to have that kind of relationship.
