Rabbi Gemara's interpretation of the Torah portion Beahaalotcha delves deeply into the complexities of human nature and spiritual striving. In this, the first of a series with Avrum Rosensweig on Torah studied through classic literature, Rabbi Gemara explains the Jewish people's lust for food in the desert, as opposed to their pursuit of spirituality and a stronger relationship with God. The Rabbi continues to explain food within Judaism through a classic story written by S.Y. Agnon, called 'A Simple Story'. The juxtaposition between the two - the parsha and the literature, is fascinating and serves to present the struggle of the Jewish people, and individuals, between holiness and spirituality and food and materialism. Enjoy. Please feel free to comment. Am Yisrael Chai. Proud to be a Jew!
