Bamidbar 5783: A Different Flag for Each Tribe

Can pluralism and individuality enhance our sense of a shared framework and obligation to one another?

In this week’s Parsha Podcast, Rabbi Zvi Hirschfield is joined by Rabbi Jonathan Leener, Pardes North America Faculty Associate, for an exploration of this week’s parsha. Together, we will learn how this text, which describes in great detail how the Jewish people organized themselves in the desert, is in fact the ideal parsha for us to prepare ourselves for the receiving of the Torah on Shavuot.
