This week features:
Korach, the Demagogue of Anarchy and Would-Be Usurper of the Priesthood
Yitro the Pathfinder and the Wayward Hearts of the Spies who Went to Look for the Promised Land
This week Yitzchak Reuven is alone at the mike as Rabbi Richman finishes up his speaking tour in Texas, and Yitzchak shares his thoughts about the spies who lost their nerve, about Korach, whose sharp mind, smooth tongue and unbridled ambition lands him and his privileged followers deep in the bowels of the earth till the end of time. The Book of Numbers chronicles the ups and many downs of forty years in the desert with the children of Israel, but were the children of Israel such screw-ups or were they simply human, like the rest of us?

The Book of Numbers, the Orlando Massacre and Post-Shavuot Thoughts: What Does it Really Mean to Receive the Torah?
After seven weeks of anticipation, this week all of Israel celebrated the Festival of Shavuot, time of receiving the Torah anew. The Shavuot experience is exhilarating and inspiring.
