Mrs. Shira Smiles |
| In this class, Mrs. Shira Smiles discusses this week's parsha, Parshat Mattot-Masei. Based on the verses in the Book of Numbers, it seems as if the tribes of Reuben and Gad placed more importance on their livestock then their children. Through an in-depth analysis and exploration of the text as well as various commentaries, we will understand the mistake these tribes made, their true intentions, as well as the tremendous lessons that may be derived from this narrative regarding priorities in life.
