Rabbi Avi Geller's series on the entire five books of Judaism is delivered with lively enthusiasm and humor. Each weekly talk is a whirlwind tour of all the events of that week's Torah portion, plus major commentaries and explanations of fundamental concepts of Judaism.
Accepting the Torah means we are, on some level, partners with God. This is expressed through our capacity to establishment the beginning of each new month. How does the newness of spring, the reaching out with Chesed (kindness), and the building of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) express this idea of taking responsibility for a better world?
The portions of the Torah that discusses the various forms of “leprosy” seem out of touch with modern times, and may even be considered in bad taste. Rabbi Kirzner reveals the underlying necessity of this disease, and how its startling roots can be found in the spiritual realm. How can we fill the holes that our lack of perfection creates, and why should leprosy be the necessary consequence?
The comparison between lason hara and the three cardinal sins seems to be an exaggeration. Rabbi Rosenblum paints the frightening scene that takes place in Heaven as we speak negatively, bringing home the gravity of that seemingly simple transgression. He goes on to discuss the motivations behind lashon hara, finding hints to them in the verses regarding the metzora.
