Strong Words

“…he may not profane his word. He shall do all that he said.” (Bamidbar 30:3) The Gemora in Kesuvos tells us about a big masmid who always came home every Erev Shabbos at a certain time. One week he was lost in thought in the Beis Medrash and missed his appointed time to go home. [...]

Pray, Don’t Slay

The congregation shall protect the murderer from the blood avenger, and return him to his refuge city where he had fled, and he must remain there until the death of the Kohen Gadol who was anointed with the sacred oil. (Bamidbar 35:25) Rashi: Because the High Priest should have prayed that this misfortune might never [...]

Coming Clean

The land that the LORD has conquered for the community of Israel is cattle country, and your servants have cattle. (Bamidbar 32:4) Sometimes people are in situations in which at first glance look bad. Many times, there are reasonable interpretations that what meets the eye is not really what is happening.

“...Hashem will forgive her because her father has restrained her.” (Bamidbar 30:6) Rashi tells us that though the vow was annulled and the woman was unaware of this, she in her mind’s eye transgressed a vow.
