A Chassidic Perspective on Biblical Events, Laws, and Personalities
The Inside Story: Numbers is a journey into the fascinating and empowering world of the Torah’s inner meanings.
Who were “the spies,” what was their agenda, and how did they derail the course of Jewish history? Why is Korach, the revolutionary who fought for equality and pluralism, regarded as the very personification of divisiveness? What are the deeper, mystical secrets behind the Holy Ark’s three coverings, the intricate form of the golden Menorah, the enigmatic Red Heifer, the miraculous Well of Miriam, or the biblical Cities of Refuge?
The forty essays in this volume each explore an event or law from the biblical book of Numbers to illuminate the big questions of life as well as its most rudimentary concerns.
