It has an antecedent — and it belongs to a larger topic of hiding, and of erasing, the other. Sometimes erasure punishes. Sometimes it heals. http://media.yutorah.org/yuriets/2026/1708/1187231.MP3 Thu, 03 Sep 2026 09:12:07 GMT 3402 https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/1186566/Perpetual-Acceptance Kahn, Rabbi Ari Perpetual Acceptance - Aug 27, 2026 - A single unprecedented Hebrew verb at Arvot Moav — "you became a nation," in the past tense — raises the question of whether Israel's covenant was broken by the Golden Calf or simply renewed, and whether "today" ever really means today. http://media.yutorah.org/yuriets/2026/1708/1186566.MP3 Thu, 27 Aug 2026 14:34:53 GMT 2516 https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/1185983/Bidirectional-Morality Kahn, Rabbi Ari Bidirectional Morality - Aug 20, 2026 - What appears at first to be a collection of unrelated commandments may in fact be a carefully constructed lesson in moral consciousness http://media.yutorah.org/yuriets/2026/1708/1185983.MP3 Thu, 20 Aug 2026 14:44:36 GMT 2595 https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/1185430/In-Search-of-the-King Kahn, Rabbi Ari In Search of the King - Aug 13, 2026 - A cryptic phrase echoes through Parashat Shoftim: “do not turn right or left.” Tracing that thread uncovers a surprising connection between Sinai, Moshe, the king, Hakhel, and the enduring quest for the covenantal center. http://media.yutorah.org/yuriets/2026/1708/1185430.MP3 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 14:26:03 GMT 3288 https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/1184916/Exclusivity Kahn, Rabbi Ari Exclusivity - Aug 6, 2026 - A close reading of a single verse in Parashat Re'eh uncovers a surprising theme running through the entire section. What begins as a discussion of idolatry develops into a profound reflection on holiness, sacred space, and the significance of divine choice. http://media.yutorah.org/yuriets/2026/1708/1184916.MP3 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 15:02:56 GMT 3163 https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/1183899/Perpetual-Fear Kahn, Rabbi Ari Perpetual Fear - Jul 23, 2026 - Rabbi Yochanan’s introduction to the story of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza is as famous as it is puzzling: “Fortunate is the person who fears constantly.” What does fear have to do with Jerusalem’s destruction? Through the teachings of Chazal, the Rambam, Rav Soloveitchik, and the Rebbe of Kotzk-Pilov, this shiur explores a question that remains as urgent today as it was two thousand years ago. http://media.yutorah.org/yuriets/2026/1708/1183899.MP3 Thu, 23 Jul 2026 07:42:16 GMT 4445 https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/1183179/Like-Dreamers Kahn, Rabbi Ari Like Dreamers - Jul 16, 2026 - Sefer Devarim is more than a review of Israel's history. It is Moshe's interpretation of it. A study of the spies, Reuven and Gad, and the power of Moshe's retelling. http://media.yutorah.org/yuriets/2026/1708/1183179.MP3 Thu, 16 Jul 2026 10:08:43 GMT 3811 https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/1182210/Disconnect Kahn, Rabbi Ari Disconnect - Jul 9, 2026 - The juxtaposition of the war against Midian and the laws of the arei miklat presents a striking challenge. One section describes a divinely mandated military campaign; the other underscores the sanctity of human life, even in cases of accidental death. Why are these topics placed together? Through a close reading of the text and classical commentators, this shiur explores the role of Pinchas, the Kohen, and the complex relationship between war, holiness, and human life. http://media.yutorah.org/yuriets/2026/1708/1182210.MP3 Thu, 09 Jul 2026 09:57:54 GMT 3478 https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/1180637/Axis-of-Evil Kahn, Rabbi Ari Axis of Evil - Jun 25, 2026 - What if Bilam is not a new character at all? What if the struggle in Parashat Balak is simply a later chapter of a much older confrontation—one that never really ended? The text begins to suggest that the alliances formed against Israel, the language used to describe them, and even the methods employed to defeat them, are part of a script that precedes this moment and continues long after it. http://media.yutorah.org/yuriets/2026/1708/1180637.MP3 Thu, 25 Jun 2026 11:02:14 GMT 3685
