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.

Meir Elkabas discusses this week’s Torah portion, Parshat Chukat. Reb Meir discusses one of the most puzzling paradoxes of the Torah, the ashes of the red heifer.

Breslov wisdom encourages us to understand that no matter our external circumstances, whether we live in a palace or a prison cell, we have the power of free will to transform ourselves and achieve closeness to God. Self-transformation is an essential gift of Judaism, and a theme woven by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov throughout Likutey Moharan.

In Lesson 51, we’re introduced to the Talmudic account of the four who entered Paradise, the Orchard of Godly Wisdom: Ben Azai, Ben Zoma, Acher, and Rabbi Akiva. He warned the others not to embrace incorrect vision and falsehood (water reprented by the mayim, mayim of our title) but he is the only one who maintained clarity and returned in peace. Rabbi Akiva taught us what to look at in the mind’s eye, showing us how to come closer to Hashem in peace. If we want to achieve, we must choose truth over falsehood, and believe that we always have the free will to do what brings us closer to Hashem.
