Chaim Kramer discusses the weekly Torah portion, Parshat Chukat. We learn that the ashes of the parah adama (the red heifer) make the pure impure and the impure pure, a concept that Rebbe Nachman explains in Likutey Moharan 55. The discussion continues with the story of Moshe Rabbeinu striking the rock; Moshe coming to the area controlled by the Edomites; the Jews getting tired of the manna, the attack of the snakes, and the brass serpent; Sichon and Og; and the lessons we can learn from these and other Torah events.

Chaim Kramer discusses the weekly Torah portion, Parshat Korach. Although Korach was very wealthy, he was jealous of Moshe’s status as the leader of the Jewish nation, and this jealousy led to rebellion. Korach’s desire for honor led to destruction.

Rebbe Nachman teaches us not to give in to the desire for honor and be swallowed up by our own materialism.
