Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi

KOH VA’KOH — LEARNING TO SEE WITH LIGHT Shemot


Listen Later

Koh va’Koh is a short phrase in Shemot 2:12, but it opens a whole way of seeing. In this Breakfast & a Class, we follow Moshe Rabbeinu’s moment of decision — “Vayifen koh va’koh… vayar ki ein ish” — and build, step by step, from the simplest peshat into a deeper understanding of why “koh” keeps showing up at moments of transmission in the Torah. We explore the hidden structure behind the number 25, the “Ohr HaGanuz,” and the kind of clarity that isn’t sunlight, but perception — the ability to see beyond the immediate moment into what will be born from our choices.

Along the way we connect Moshe’s koh va’koh to Birkat Kohanim as a channel of blessing, and to Pirkei Avot’s definition of wisdom: “Eizehu chacham? Ha’ro’eh et ha’nolad” — the one who can see what will come of his actions. The takeaway is simple and sharp: before you speak, before you react, before you act, pause and ask one question — what will be born from this? If you’re looking for a Torah lens that turns impulse into leadership and emotion into clarity, this episode is for you.
