Parsha:

Chukat 

Description

But can we? Can we really know everything? We live in an age when many believe that acquiring knowledge is as simple as "googling" it. Indeed, not long ago I heard someone remark sarcastically that, "...whatever you don't know, just go to Reb Google." The Midrash teaches that God told Moshe, "...to you I will explain the paradox of parah adumah, but to every other human being I will always hide its mystery." How can it be that impurity can be the consequence of purity? Of course, there is an "answer" to this paradox. But it is not one available to us.
