Tanakh
The Deaths of Miriam, Aaron and Moses
by Rabanit Sharon Rimon
When did Miriam, Aaron and Moshe die? Is there a connection between the death of the three? What is the connection between the death of Miriam and the waters of quarrel? What is the connection between Aaron's death and the snakes that harm the people? What did Moshe and Aharon sin against, and why were they forbidden to enter the land?
Machshava
"The Spirit of the People Grew Impatient"
by Harav Aharon Lichtenstein zt"l
Our parasha mentions two complaints of Bnei Yisrael. At first glance, these appear to be two similar stories about a lack of basic necessities during the journeys through the wilderness, leading the nation to grumble. It is precisely this similarity that makes God's sharply contrasting responses to these episodes so surprising.

"In his absence, as in his lifetime, we continue to ask ourselves what he would think about the way we contend with our everyday challenges and what he would say about our struggle against torpor and faithlessness."
- Rabbi Shalom Carmy
What opportunities are there for special-needs high school graduates who also want to have a year in Israel - and a fulfilling life after that?
Read about the remarkable Ohr Torah Stone’s Elaine & Norm Brodsky Darkaynu Program, whose male division takes place in Yeshivat Har Etzion.
What's Happening in Israel
Visits to Har Etzion by the most elite instructional institution in the IDF - The IDF Command and Staff College ("Pum") - seem to have become a tradition. Brigadier General Commander Noam Tivon explains why: "I consider Rav Medan a leader, an ideological leader, but also a leader who seeks ways to build bridges, and therefore it is so important to hear him."
