Short English Classes on the Daily Tanach Chapter according to the 929 project schedule by Rabbi Yitzchok Lowy

  1. ٢٩ أبريل

    Devarim Chapter 21

    This lecture covers Deuteronomy Chapter 21, examining three distinct laws: the ritual of Egla Arufa (the beheaded calf) when a murder victim is found with no known killer, the regulations for taking a captive woman as a wife during war, and laws governing family life including the rights of the firstborn son and the rebellious son. These laws establish society’s collective responsibility for security and justice, require dignified treatment even of war captives, and set limits on both parental authority and the humiliation of executed criminals to preserve the sanctity of human life and prevent the land from being defiled.

    Devarim Chapter 20

    This shiur covers Deuteronomy Chapter 20, which presents the Torah’s laws of warfare. The chapter addresses three main areas: maintaining morale through the prohibition against fear and exemptions for soldiers with unfinished life commitments, the requirement to offer terms of peace (actually submission) before battle with different rules for distant cities versus the seven Canaanite nations, and the prohibition against destroying fruit trees during siege warfare to preserve vital infrastructure.

    Devarim Chapter 19

    This lecture covers Deuteronomy Chapter 19, focusing on the cities of refuge, boundary laws, and witness testimony. The cities of refuge represent society’s transition from private blood vengeance to regulated justice, protecting accidental killers while maintaining accountability for intentional murder through the institution of the blood avenger. The chapter also establishes the requirement of multiple witnesses for legal proceedings and prescribes that false witnesses receive the exact punishment they sought to inflict on others, creating a powerful deterrent against perjury in a legal system dependent on oral testimony.

    Bamidbar Chapter 26

    This study covers Bamidbar Chapter 26, the second census of the Israelites taken in preparation for entering and dividing the Land of Israel. The census represents a transition to a new generation after the death of those who left Egypt, includes detailed tribal and family counts for land allocation, and marks the shift in leadership from Moshe and Aharon to Elazar and the next generation. The chapter provides the most complete genealogical accounting in the Torah, organizing the people by tribes and families, with the tribe of Levi counted separately since they would not receive a territorial inheritance.

    Bamidbar Chapter 25

    This lecture covers Bamidbar Chapter 25, the story of Baal Peor and Pinchas’s zealous response. The chapter addresses the spiritual threat of Israel’s neighbors through intermarriage and idolatry, showing how Israelite men strayed with Moabite and Midianite women and began worshiping Baal Peor. When a plague broke out and an Israelite prince publicly defied Moses by bringing a Midianite woman into the camp, Pinchas took decisive action by killing them both, stopping the plague and earning the eternal covenant of priesthood for his family.

    Bamidbar Chapter 24

    This study covers Bamidbar Chapter 24, focusing on Bilam’s final prophecies to Balak. The third prophecy describes Israel’s beautiful encampment and military strength, culminating in the blessing “those who bless you are blessed, those who curse you are cursed.” The fourth prophecy looks to the future, predicting Israel’s conquest of Moab, Edom, and Amalek, and includes the famous “star from Jacob” vision, while also foretelling the rise and fall of various empires including Ashur and the nations from Kittim.

    Bamidbar Chapter 23

    This lecture covers Bamidbar Chapter 23, focusing on Bilam’s first two prophecies and the setup for the third. The chapter reveals that sacrifices serve as a vehicle for receiving prophecy, details how Bilam receives divine messages through meditation and walking, and presents the content of his two blessings—emphasizing Israel’s separateness, multitude, and God’s unchanging commitment to them despite Balak’s attempts to curse them from different geographical locations. The narrative follows a three-part cycle structure where each attempt involves new locations (Bamos Baal, Sedei Tzofim, and Rosh HaPeor), ritual sacrifices, and increasingly frustrated exchanges between Balak and Bilam about why the curses become blessings.

    Bamidbar Chapter 22

    This lecture covers Bamidbar Chapter 22, the beginning of the Balak and Bilaam narrative. The story fulfills the prophecy from Shirat Hayam about nations fearing Israel, serving to raise the morale of the Israelites as they approach the Promised Land. The chapter details Balak’s attempts to hire the prophet Bilaam to curse Israel, Bilaam’s consultations with God who forbids and then permits the journey, and the famous episode where Bilaam’s donkey sees an angel blocking their path and speaks to rebuke him.
