Parshat Behalotcha

Torah Portions Through the Eyes of Our Scholars
Volume 7

In this week’s parsha, Moshe is commanded to make two silver trumpets which in Hebrew are called Chatzosros. Listen in as Rabbi Wein expounds on the need for particularly two trumpets and what the meaning of two separate trumpets represents about the people who are able to devote their private time to the public good. This discussion also deals with prophesy among the Jewish people. How one became a prophet and why are only certain prophecies retained for generations.
