What does it mean to carry holiness with us?

In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Leon Morris explore Parshat Behaalotcha and the two cryptic verses about the Ark of the Covenant’s journey. They dive into why these verses are set apart in the Torah, how they became the definition of what makes a sacred book, and what it means to “save Torah from the fire.” The conversation reveals a vision of Torah as a living, moving force that journeys with us and invites constant re-engagement.

Featuring
Rabbi Leon Morris – President of Pardes Institute
Zvi Hirschfield – Pardes Faculty and Host of Pardes from Jerusalem
