  1. Bereisheet: The Book of Humankind

    Rabbi David Silverberg

  2. Sons and Genealogies - Selection and Rejection

    Rabbi Jonathan Snowbell

    תאריך פרסום: 2006 | | 30 דקות

    Why do the generations of Yishmael appear in the Torah in addition to the genealogies of Yitzhak, the son selected to be Avraham’s successor? The lists are there partly as a contrast. Stories recur throughout Bereisheet with motifs of dynasties and transmission: There are two sons who can follow in their father’s footsteps—one is chosen and described in greater length, and one is sent away. In this shiur, we look at the pattern of selection and rejection throughout the various occurences of the lists of descendants.

  6. Parshat HaShavua Parshat Vayigash - Groups of Sons

    Rabbi Ezra Bick | 34 דקות

    Parashat Vayigash lists the seventy souls who came to Egypt with Yaakov. What is the significant difference between this list and the one in Parashat Vayishlach? One detail that jumps out is that one refers to Yaakov and the other one mentions Yisrael. But is there more than that? We examine the list of Esav's descendants, as well as the names for other family groupings (such as "Yehuda and his brothers") and find meaning in these distinctions.

  7. Erev Shabbat Parshat Va-eira Excerpt - A Quick Look at Moshe's Lineage

    Rabbi Ezra Bick | 5 דקות

    What accounts for the apparently repetitive geneaological list in the Parsha? The list here provides context, and a message about how Moshe's approach must recognize his rootedness in Bnei Yisrael. One needs to be rooted in the people one is trying to help.

  8. Vayigash: Yaakov's "Sons" Hetzron and Hamul

    Rabbi Jonathan Snowbell | 18 דקות

    Parashat Vayechi is filled with family reunions, love within family, loss within family, trying to move on from loss, beginning from a seemingly minor point and getting to a point of greater significance. There is one pasuk describing Yehuda's "five" sons, mentioning the death of Er and Onan, and saying that the sons of Peretz are Hetzron and Hamul. We analyze this section in the midst of the list of Yaakov's 70 children. Why are Hetzron and Hamul here? Do they posthumously replace Er and Onan?  Through our investigation, we gain perspective on Tamar's actions, as well.

  11. Matot: Why Is The End of Bamidbar So Anticlimactic?

    Rabbi David Fohrman |

    The Torah is a book of great drama, why does the narrative ends with a seemingly-unnecessary story about a random conquest of some towns? In this week and next week, Rabbi Fohrman paints a picture of epic connections to the stories of Jacob, Joseph and Judah.

  12. Bamidbar: Who Cares About Genealogy?

    Rabbi David Fohrman |

    In Parshat Bamidbar, we read a genealogy of the families of the nation of Israel - but isn't that kind of boring? In this video, we get a closer insight into some strange verses about Aaron's family, and Rabbi Fohrman gives us insight into what it truly means to be a teacher.
