Harav Aharon Lichtenstein | Hunger for the Word of God | As Jews, we should be animated by a hunger for the word of God. If we do not feel sufficient enthusiasm in Torah study, this can indicate either narrow problems or broader religious and personal issues. | Holiday Packages |
Prof. Yonatan Grossman | “When the Shofar Sounds, Ascend the Mountain” | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading | |
Rav Tamir Granot | The Dual Revelation at Sinai | What is so special about the Ten Commandments? An examination of Sefer Shemot reveals that the revelation, in fact, had two distinct goals. | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
Rav Yair Kahn | Parashat Yitro: Moshe Rabbeinu and Matan Torah | In this week's parasha, immediately prior to the Asseret Ha-dibbrot (Ten Commandments), an enigmatic dialogue is recorded (19:21-25).

Rav Elyakim Krumbein | Compulsory Love | "And they stood at the foot of the mountain" - Said R. Avdimi bar Chama bar Chasa: This teaches us that the Holy One held the mountain over them like an inverted tub and said, "If you accept the Torah, then fine; but if not, I will bury you here." Said R. Acha bar Yaakov: This serves notice that the Torah was accepted under duress [and thus, ostensibly, is not legally binding]. (Shabbat 88a) | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |

Harav Yaakov Medan | The Giving of the Torah in the Sight of the People or in the Sight of Moshe | In this shiur, we will address one of the central ambiguities regarding the account of the Revelation at Mount Sinai: Was the Revelation only to Moshe, or was it to the entire nation? We will construct a theory regarding what took place based on analysis of the verses and the views of the commentators. | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
Rav Gad Eldad | “Listen to me; I will give you counsel, and may God be with you” | The account of Yitro's advice to Moshe appears to conclude with a "happy ending," indicating that Moshe successfully implemented his father-in-law's idea. However, study of the account of the appointment of the judges in Sefer Bamidbar indicates that Yitro's idea may not have been so successful after all. In this shiur, we will consider why that might be. | Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading |
