Parashat Re'eh - Jerusalem Lights Podcast # 130: Lost Generation

Parashat Eikev

This week as we prepare to welcome the month of Menachem Av, the ‘Consoling Father,’ we conclude the weekly Torah reading cycle in the Book of Numbers – and bid farewell to the inscrutable Generation of the Desert. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman ponder the life lessons to be learned from the Book of Numbers, and have a frank and informative discussion in response to a listener’s comments regarding the true Torah belief in the G-d of Israel – and how this belief differs fundamentally from non-Jewish perspective.

The mysterious Bilaam, a well-known mystic has-been, tried his best use prophecy to curse the Children of Israel for profit, only to have the words Divinely changed to beautiful blessings on his lips.

The Torah portion of Chukat marks the transition between two generations. Everything that happens in this world in the course of human events, is an instrument of Divine purpose, a part of the unfolding of prophetic promises and the revelation of G-d’s Name in the world, as we approach the time of Redemption. This week’s Jerusalem Lights podcast looks at the spiritual side of the vitriolic reactions to the reversal of Roe vs. Wade, and assails society’s loss of sensitivity to the sanctity of all human life, created in the image of G-d.
