Found In Translation: Weekly Divrei Torah and Sermons from the BJ Rabbis and Guest Teachers

Parashat Bemidbar | Rabbi Roly Matalon | May 16, 2026

13 min · 19. maj 2026

Description

Rabbi Roly Matalon asks: what must die in the wilderness before something new can emerge? Drawing on the painful wandering of Bemidbar, he reflects on what it means to hold onto moral seriousness when everything around us is eroding, and why Torah is given not in moments of clarity, but precisely here, in the chaos of now.
