This summer, many of us slip in our שמירת המצוות while traveling or relaxing. In this shiur, we uncover a powerful idea from Parshas Ekev about the wooden Aron that held the Luchos after the חטא העגל, and why Hashem chose wood to teach us that even after a spiritual fall, we can always grow again. Through the story of the broken Luchos, real-life examples of forgiveness and self-forgiveness, and the deeper meaning of the word “Ekev,” you’ll see that no matter how far you’ve fallen, the Torah is still an עץ חיים for you. If you’ve ever felt stuck after a mistake, this message is for you.
Three familiar verses appear every time we take out the Sefer Torah, but why these three? In the aftermath of Tisha B’Av and as we enter Shabbos Nachamu, they reveal the secret of Jewish survival: what we live for, what keeps us connected, and how every mitzvah carries us forward. These are not just verses we recite, they are the foundation of how a Jew lives.Subscribe and bring the Parsha to life each week.

In Parshas Balak, Hashem makes a donkey speak, one of the strangest miracles in the entire Torah. But according to the Midrash, this was no ordinary donkey: it was the one created on the sixth day of Creation. This very donkey gave birth to a son, which became the donkey Avraham used for the Akeidah, the one Moshe rode to Egypt, and the one Mashiach will ride, a donkey that lived for thousands of years.Why did Hashem keep this donkey alive for thousands of years?
