Rabbi Daniel Rowe

The section of the Torah (Hebrew Bible) called 'Chukas' or 'Statute' (Bamidbar/ Book of Numbers19-22:1) opens with the law of he red heifer, the paradigmatic 'Chok' or incomprehensible law about the purification process of one who has come into contact with a corpse. the sprinkling of water mixed with ashes of the red heifer contains a paradoxical law: in addition to purifying the contaminated, it also contaminates the pure! Why is this law given here in this part of Torah?

Next we have some of the most tragic and at times incomprehensible narratives, including Moshe (Moses) striking the rock instead of speaking to it, for which he is barred from entering the land, and the story of the fiery serpents whose attack against the Israelites is thwarted by the seemingly bizarre erection of a pole with a copper serpent atop.

This Shiur (Torah lecture) draws upon the works of Rabbi Chaim of Volzhin, Rabbi Yitzchak Isaan Chaver and others to show how we can make sense of these individually baffling episodes and laws, and uncovers the deep thematic connection between them and other parts of the Torah that we read about in this Sidra (weekly Torah reading).

The Torah reading (Bamidbar/Numbers 13:1-15:41) focuses on the disasters report of the spies, and the Children of Israel rejecting the land. In this Shiur/lecture we discover that the consequence was not merely the need to wonder the Sinai desert for 40 years, but ultimately lead to wondering, exile and suffering for millenia.

The Book of Ruth is one of the best known and best loved of all the Biblical works of the Jewish Bible. This series explores the hidden levels of depth and meaning.

The last 2 chapters involve Ruth assuming two persons in one, as she suggests marriage of herself to Boaz. It seems unclear whether this is intended to be for her own good, her own actualisation and fulfilment, or whether this is her selflessly stepping aside to be a surrogate for Naomi. A deeper look at the text suggests that in Ruth's world there is no zero sum. It is possible to fully self actualise and fully be giving to another at the same time. This radical idea is understood by Boaz, and leads to the radical transformation of the town of Bethlehem, the people of ancient Israel and ultimately leads to the full unification of Israel in preparation for the birth of their great grandchild, King David. Within this story lies the Tenach (Bible)'s insight into how subtle shifts of attitude can cascade across space and time, and bring about radical change of national unity, of our relationship with Hashem, and ability to truly receive His Torah.

The Book of Ruth is one of the best known and best loved of all the Biblical works of the Jewish Bible. This series explores the hidden levels of depth and meaning. The second chapter introduces Boaz, a wealthy landowner in Bethlehem Judea, who later turns out to be the head of the religious court. The Rabbis identify him with the porphet Ivtzan. On the surface he is the generous caring giver, and she is the dependent poor recipient. But Ruth has entered the Jewish people in order to resolve the imbalance of power between givers and takers. Her solution is one that Boaz himself understands, and the two of them begin to create a new paradigm, beyond givers and takers. Ruth's radical idea will end up transforming the town, the Jewish people, and ultimately our relationship with one another and with Hashem.

The Book of Ruth is one of the best known and best loved of all the Biblical works of the Jewish Bible. This series explores the hidden levels of depth and meaning. The first chapter links back to previous episodes of Torah and the Book of Judges, arching all the way back to the traumatic departure of Abraham's nephew Lot to the anti-Abraham town of Sodom. Beneath the surface lurks a deep problem and paradox at the heart of lovingkindness. A problem that threatens to undermine the entire Abrahamic project, and the possibility of a relationship with God Himself. Ruth enters to address the crisis and to resolve the pathway to a unified harmonious world. #bookofruth #torah #bible #jewishphilosophy
