Torah Portions Through the Eyes of Our Scholars
Volume 7

This lecture based on the work of HaMedresh V’Hamaseh discusses the priestly blessing that is given to the Jewish people. Three main questions will be answered, why were the Kohanim given the job of blessing the people, why do they need to raise their hands while giving the blessing and why does the text of the blessing seem like it is showing favoritism? This lecture explores the meaning of sacrificing one’s self for others among other enlightening insights.
