Description

In this shiur, we examine the Livnat Hasappir (sapphire brick) mentioned in Parshat Mishpatim, and use it to demonstrate how sapphire can serve as a double-sided mirror, reminding the Jewish People of G-d and G-d of the Jewish People. We conclude with a tefillah that Hashem remember us and redeem us, and finally with a brief exploration of the Sappir mentioned in Eichah (4:7), demonstrating the durability of the Jewish people through suffering.
