Parsha Perspectives for Today (Chukas)

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

A uh family member of ours is having a surgery, significant surgery, Shimon ben Yitzchak. Please have in mind uh Shimmy, Shimon ben Yitzchak, surgery should go well, he should have a complete, speedy, and painless refuah shleima. Uh this is our last uh parsha shiur for a little while as a reminder. So, I'm off until the week of Tisha B'Av. Rabbi Moscowitz will be giving the parsha shiur, same slot, Tuesday mornings 9:30, very excited about that. Uh it will not be streamed, but if you're in South Florida, you don't want you're in South Florida, you don't want to miss it, you want to make sure to come and to enjoy it. And we will resume uh I'm back before uh Tisha B'Av and will resume then. Lastly, I want to dedicate our shiur this morning, parshas Chukas, page 838 in the Artscroll Stone Chumash. I want to dedicate our parsha shiur to the memory of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Zechuso tzaddik vekadosh livracha. Today's Gimmel Tammuz. Today is the 30th yahrtzeit of the Rebbe. And uh I still remember when he was nifter, when he left this world, as I'm sure do many of you. We're all as I'm sure do many of you. We're all beneficiaries of the Rebbe. Whether you identify technically as a Chabad, whether you're signed up in Tzivos Hashem, I happen to be a general, I don't want to show off right now. I happen to be a general in Tzivos Hashem. Rabbi Kalman Aaron Leib Raskin, zichrono livracha, gave me a uh major uh a major What's it called? Promotion. Thank you. Gave me I was a private for most of my life. It's amazing when you have someone behind the bima what you can get out of it. I became a general overnight in Tzivos Hashem. But the truth is we're all enormous beneficiaries of the
