Kol Ramah

It's Shabbat, so it must be another edition of Parashah Talk. This week, Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Jeremy Kalmanofsky, and Barry Chesler discuss the concluding chapters of the Book of Numbers, the double portion of Mattot-Massei. We circle back to Pinchas, consider the power of words when making oaths, the cities of refuge, and more. At the end, each rabbi attempts to sum up the book so that we may properly begin Devarim [Deuteronomy] next week. Give a listen!

Please enjoy this special project of Radio Kol Ramah "Babayit" - Home edition, kayitz 2020. We may all be socially distant but that did not stop our radio class from taking a tour of our favorite places at home, culminating in a virtual visit to our radio station in Wingdale!

Song Playlist:

אברהם טל - שבוע טוב

סטטיק ובן אל תבורי - נמסטה

ליאור נרקיס עומר אדם ומשה פרץ - שירו של שפשף

שלומי שבת ואליעד - מורידים את הירח

עדן בן-זקן ועומר אדם - קוקוריקו

חנן בן ארי - אם תרצי

ישי ריבו - הלב שלי

מחנה רמה בבירקשירס - טוב לי במחנה רמה

This week's socially distanced edition of Parashah Talk is here! Come listen as Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Jeremy Kalmanofsky and Barry Chesler discuss Parashat Pinhas.

Enjoy a great Parsha Talk about the Red Heifer, the death of Miriam, the miraculous well, the perils and challenges of leadership, the death of Aaron, Balak the proto-anti-Semite, blessings and curses, looking at Israel as an outsider and so much more. We miss being with each other in person, but we are making up for it on Zoom with great Zoom-Torah. Once again great thanks to Rabbi Eliot Malomet for hosting a great conversation Rabbi Jeremy Kalmanofsky and Rabbi Barry Chesler, both of whom managed to be elsewhere for this Shabbat. Shabbat Shalom!

Another edition of Parashah Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. We concentrated on the figure of Korach; see if we said anything as revolutionary as Korach himself!

Things get really charged in the Parashah Talk this week - we debate whether the whole debacle of the spies was a failure of leadership or if Moses, Joshua, and Caleb were just doing the best that they could. We briefly cover the wood gatherer and the mitzvah of tzitzit. Give a watch or a listen. One of the bright spots of the whole covid-confinement is having a hevruta with our great friends, Rabbi Eliot Malomet, Rabbi Barry Chesler and Rabbi Jeremy Kalmanofsky. Thanks Rabbis! Shabbat Shalom!.....And a special Mazel tov to Rabbi and Cantor Chesler on their wedding anniversary!!!

This week's edition of Parashah Talk on Parashat B'ha'alot'kha features Rabbis Eliot Malomet and Jeremy Kalmanofsky, together with yours truly, Rabbi Eliot Malomet, in conversation about the curious phenomenon of the inverted nuns bracketing two verses which appear in the Torah service [one when we take the Torah out and one when we return it to the Ark], and the character of Moses as a leader, among other topics. Dare I say it is one of our best; certainly one of the most fun to do!

Parsha Talk - Nasso by Camp Ramah in the Berkshires

The Matan Torah Edition of Parasha Talk. We go deep in this conversation, asking what revelation is, what is the experience of Torah study about, and what are our favorite things to study. Join me and my great friends, Rabbi Jeremy Kalmanofsky and Rabbi Barry Chesler, and Hag Sameah!

We are dedicating our Parasha Talk this week to Camp Ramah in the Berkshires Gesher 2020. We are so brokenhearted for you this week, after the official announcement that Kayitz 2020 will not be happening. We hoped, but deep down we knew that this was what had to be. Only comfort to you and your families. This is a big loss. The three oldest rabbis who probably taught you more than once as you were coming up through the Edot, are sending you our love and blessings. Cherish your memories, nourish your hopes and dreams. You'll be back, and so will Ramah. Stronger than ever. So we take some time this week to discuss the themes of the midbar, the wilderness, the first Jewish camp, the camp of the Children of Israel in the desert, the Levites and so much more. Have a listen. Shabbat Shalom!
