Zman Kehilla LaKol

In 2013, we tried to determine why the list of punishments was so much longer and more detailed than the list of rewards.

We look back to 2012 to better understand one of the blemishes of the Kohanim mentioned in Parshat Emor.

In 2014, we compared and contrasted Rabi Akiva's teachings and his students' actions.

We at the BK always introduce our celebrations on Yom HaAtzmaut with some perspective from Moshe Rabbeinu.

In 2011, we tried to understand why the purification process of the Metzora was so similar to that of the Parah Aduma process.

In 2012, we learned some important ideas from an extra word by the Torah's discussion of the dietary laws.

What are the messages and lessons we should take with us as Pesach ends. In 2013 we turned to Rav Levi Yitzchak for answers.

In 2014, we learned about Hashem knocking at our doors.

A Midrash suggests that David HaMelech understands Pesach as being representative of one approach in our service of Hashem.

We revisit 2011 where we looked to the Seforno and the Netziv to help us understand some interesting details of the Korban Todah.

In 2015, we turned to a beautiful Chatam Sofer that highlighted the importance of bringing a Korban to the opening of the Ohel Moed.

In 2015, we looked to the Rav and the Beit HaLevi to understand why we needed to be reminded not to violate Shabbat in constructing the Mishkan.

In 2013, we turned to the Chizkuni to help us understand what it means to be Shomer Shabbat.

In the Piyut of Shoshanat Yaakov we say that the Jewish people rejoiced when they saw the Techeilet of Mordechai. Why was that?

In 2015 we noted the importance of parsing the first Pasuk of Parshat T'Tzaveh correctly.

In 2015, we asked how Hashem could possibly dwell within *us* after the construction of the Mishkan.

It makes sense for the ear to be punished when the Eved Ivri, Jewish servant, extends his servitude. What, though, do we make of the timing?

Why did Moshe feel the need to inform and all-knowing God of a decision of the Bnei Yisrael? We got back to 2015 for a fundamental lesson.

Hashem leads the Bnei Yisrael away from the Plishtim so that they don't demand to return to Egypt. But, if they were going to react that way with the Meraglim anyway, why not just lead them on the shortest route?

In 2015 we tried to figure out why the Bnei Yisrael needed to be told that they were leaving during the Spring Season.

In 2012 we discussed a very simple question asked by the Steipler. If hitting one frog brought forth more frogs, why did the Egyptians keep hitting that frog?

In 2012 we studied Moshe's four arguments against leading the Bnei Yisrael out of Egypt. Only one makes Hashem angry. Why is that?

In 2014, we saw that two seemingly unexciting Pesukim reflected an unfortunate reality that may have existed with Yosef, his father, and his brothers.

How do we define ourselves and our relationship with others? In 2013, we looked toward Chazal's depiction of how Yosef convinced Yaakov that he was actually still alive.
