Torah study on the parsha & Jewish Teachings -Matot – Masei: Every Jew’s Forty-Two Journeys
Description
The journey from Egypt to Eretz Yisrael should have taken just a few days. Instead, it took forty years, forty-two journeys, and an entire generation.
The Torah could simply have said that Bnei Yisrael wandered in the wilderness for forty years. Instead, it records every one of their forty-two journeys.
Why does the Torah end Sefer Bamidbar with what appears to be nothing more than a travel itinerary? Why are these forty-two journeys linked by our Sages to the Forty-Two Letter Name of HaShem and even to Creation itself?
This shiur reveals a powerful insight into Judaism, Jewish philosophy, Jewish values and Jewish life. It changes the way we understand growth, struggle, setbacks and success. This Torah wisdom means that you may never think about your own life's journey in quite the same way again.
