Parshas Vayishlach 5786
קָטֹנְתִּי מִכֹּל הַחֲסָדִים וּמִכׇּל־הָאֱמֶת אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָ אֶת־עַבְדֶּךָ כִּי בְמַקְלִי עָבַרְתִּי אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן הַזֶּה וְעַתָּה הָיִיתִי לִשְׁנֵי מַחֲנוֹת׃
I am unworthy of all the kindness that You have so steadfastly shown Your servant: with my staff alone I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.

Surprise! The One Pasuk Podcast is back! I’m so excited to start with this special episode I did with the Rebbetzin for Lech Lecha.

So stay tuned and thank you for all the great feedback and support.

God said, “Nevertheless, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac; and I will maintain My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring to come.
 
 

Parshas Chukas 5785 w/ *MYSTERY GUEST*

זֹאת חֻקַּת הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה ה' לֵאמֹר דַּבֵּר  אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְיִקְחוּ אֵלֶיךָ פָרָה אֲדֻמָּה תְּמִימָה אֲשֶׁר אֵין־בָּהּ מוּם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־עָלָה עָלֶיהָ עֹל׃ 
This is the ritual law that Hashem has commanded: Instruct the Israelite people to bring you a red cow without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which no yoke has been laid.

Parshas Shelach 5785

We apologize that we don't have a new episode for this week's parsha. Due to some logistical difficulties this week we weren't able to record an episode. So I was just going to send out this apology and a link to last year's episode. But then I thought last minute to share at least an idea something to think about over Shabbos. Obviously, this will be missing the secret sauce of the One Pasuk Podcast, the rabbinic banter as I like to call it that I enjoy so much with Rabbi Goldberg and Rabbi Kuessous. God willing next week we will be back in action.
וְשָׁם רָאִינוּ אֶת־הַנְּפִילִים בְּנֵי עֲנָק מִן־הַנְּפִלִים וַנְּהִי בְעֵינֵינוּ כַּחֲגָבִים וְכֵן הָיִינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶם׃
_we saw the Nephilim there—the Anakites are part of the Nephilim—and we looked like grasshoppers to ourselves, and so we must have looked to them.”_

Parshas Behaalosecha 5785

וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה לְחֹבָב בֶּן־רְעוּאֵל הַמִּדְיָנִי חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה נֹסְעִים  אֲנַחְנוּ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָמַר ה' אֹתוֹ אֶתֵּן לָכֶם לְכָה אִתָּנוּ וְהֵטַבְנוּ לָךְ כִּי ה' דִּבֶּר־טוֹב עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
_Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which Hashem has said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will be generous with you; for Hashem has promised to be generous to Israel.”_
