There are two mitzvos in this week's parsha that the Torah describes as commandments to remember. What are the parameters of these mitzvos? How can you command someone to remember?

Moshe's publicized failure is found in this week's parsha when in order to get water for Bnei Yisrael, he hits the rock instead of simply speaking to it. But if he wasn't supposed to hit it, why did Hashem tell him to bring his staff?

Ever wonder why the Jewish months have names but not the days of the week? You will now! Tune in to this week's Dvar Torah to find out why.

The connection between the Kohanim and the Bnei Yisrael runs deep. As deep as...salt?

The meraglim make their journey through Eretz Yisrael and someone makes a stop in Chevron. But who was it and how many stopped there?

Moshe is called the most humble man in the world, in a pasuk he wrote himself! That doesnt sound too humble...

Perhaps the most famous and special bracha we have is Birkas Kohanim. Listen this week for a few special insights into this integral bracha.

Ever wonder why the Torah is so specific about where and how the Bnei Yisrael camped? Wonder no more...

Olam Haba is one of the most basic and important tenants of our faith. So how come it's not mentioned once in the entire Torah?

Parshas Behar begins with the mitzvah of Shmittah. It seems very similar to our mitzvah of Shabbos, but there's a key difference...

Moshe is commanded to tell Bnei Yisrael about the Moadim, and he did his job. He was instructed to tell the Kohanim the laws pertaining to them and the whole nation learned about it. How come the nation learned about the private laws of the Kohanim?

There are three types of tzara'as, what do they represent?

We are introduced to the concept of Kosher in this week's parsha. What is it? Where does it come from?

As we end Sefer Shemos, we finally see the construction of the Mishkan. But as the building commences, somethings seem out of place...

We finally arrive at the construction of the Mishkan, and as we mentioned last week, the commandment of Shabbos is told over right at the beginning. But was it actually supposed to be?

The parsha opens with a series of small topics, including the laws of Shabbos. What does that have to do with the construction of the Mishkan?

We continue our discussion on the significance behind the construction of the Mishkan with the Mizbe'ach Hazahav. What mysteries await us there?

The Torah gives us extensive detail into the construction of the Mishkan. But why? It has no long-term significance! Or does it...

The well-known phrase "Naaseh V'Nishma", was not actually said at Matan Torah, but this week in Parshas Mishpatim! What took so long?

Hashem tells Moshe multiple times to warn Bnei Yisrael to not approach Har Sinai during Matan Torah. Why did they need multiple warnings? And perhaps an even bigger question, why would Moshe question Hashem's judgement that they did?

As they left generations of slavery behind in Mitzrayim, the Bnei Yisrael needed a strong leader to guide them through the desert. And as Amalek attacked them at their most vulnerable point, the need became even greater.

We all know the story of Yaakov's dream with angels going up and down a ladder to the heavens. But did you know there's another similar story at the end of the parsha too?

This parsha shows the origin of the eternal Yaakov vs Esav struggle. The Torah hints to us who was right. 

The greatness of Avraham is well-documented throughout these parshiyos, but the hidden greatness within the pesukim is what we're after this week.

Hashem commands Avram to leave his homeland, his birthplace, his family, and to travel to Eretz Yisrael. The placement of this simple command in the Torah teaches us a whole lot more about Avraham's family and the depth of his greatness.
