5780 — Parshat Naso: Uncovering the Sotah

In this podcast we will read the Biblical text and compare it with the rabbinic text in the tractate Sotah in order to highlight some significant differences between the rabbinic interpretation and Torah portion. An interesting feminine voice found in the midrash will conclude this podcast with a surprising way to interpretation.

This week’s podcast is sponsored by Alison and Edward Bermant in honor of their grandchildren Eliana, Dovi and Jonah Bornstein.
