Why? Tosafot offers a remarkable explanation: because the two animals digest their food differently, the donkey may see the ox still chewing and imagine that the ox was given more food. The donkey wasn't actually deprived - but it may feel that it was. That means the Torah's concern for an animal goes remarkably far. It includes not… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2385739515-miningtheriches-the-torah-cares-about.mp3) ## [Ki Teitzei | 2026.08.20](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/ki-teitzei-2026-08-20) _2026-08-21 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ This evening we consider why the nations of Ammon and Moav are detrimental to Jewish families. And we explore the lesson from Paul Reichman (I think it was Paul) about wealth and Jewish law. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law.

They see terrible injuries, make life-and-death decisions under unimaginable pressure, and inevitably wonder afterward: Did I do everything I could? Did I make the right decision? Could I have saved someone I couldn't save? But who helps the medics?

He is one of the holiest and most inspiring people I ever met. I share my conversations with him immediately after his debilitating stroke in July, 2011, when he could communicate only by blinking, and in the weeks and months after.

But does faith really mean that we should no longer experience fear? Psalm 27 - which we begin reciting in Ellul - presents a much more complicated picture. It opens with extraordinary confidence: “The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?” Yet as the Psalm unfolds, certainty gives way to vulnerability, anxiety, and longing. As Rivka Kahan… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2381715399-miningtheriches-you-can-have-faith-and-still.mp3) ## [Shoftim | 2026.08.13](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/shoftim-2026-08-13) _2026-08-14 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ This evening we explore wider and more subtle forms of bribes, which the Torah forbids for judges, and for everyone making a decision; flattery, personal connection to the question at hand, etc. As we enter the month of Ellul, the last month of the year before Rosh Hashanah, we should start what every good business does, an audit - financial (in terms of Tzedaka) and spiritual - our losses and… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2381608077-miningtheriches-shoftim-2026-08-13.mp3) ## [The Best Reward for Doing Good Is Doing Good | 10@9 | 2026.08.13](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/the-best-reward-for-doing-good) _2026-08-13 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ A young woman at summer camp volunteered for a difficult job no one wanted - cleaning an especially messy bunk. When she finished, her counselor told her something she never forgot: your reward is that you got to do it. Years later, she still teaches that lesson to her own children. We usually think the reward for doing good comes afterward - appreciation, recognition, gratitude, or some other… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2381149233-miningtheriches-the-best-reward-for-doing-good.mp3) ## [There Is More Than One Way to Come Close to God | 10@9 | 2026.08.12](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/there-is-more-than-one-way-to) _2026-08-12 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ Rabbi Menachem Shach once told a young man who had lost his way a remarkable story from his own life. Something that seemed terribly wrong at the time ultimately saved his life. R. Shach had learned what it means to place yourself wholeheartedly in God's hands - even when you cannot understand where God is leading you.

The Torah’s law of Eidim Zomemim - plotting witnesses - presents an extraordinary case. A second pair of witnesses establishes that the original witnesses could not possibly have seen what they claimed to have seen.

Why does Moshe repeatedly remind the Jewish people throughout Devarim of where they failed, while also speaking openly about his own failures? Daniel Gordis recently did something that is much harder than pointing out where other people went wrong.

We analyze our requirement of Dirshu, to seek God both in place and in time, and the promise God makes to us when we do so. And we uncover the reference at the beginning of our Parsha, Re'eh, to announcing Rosh Chodesh Ellul this Shabbat (it will fall this coming… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2377125752-miningtheriches-reeh-2026-08-06.mp3) ## [Why Does Moshe Keep Talking About His Mistakes? | 10@9 | 2026.08.06](https://soundcloud.com/miningtheriches/why-does-moshe-keep-talking) _2026-08-06 · Mining The Riches Of The Parsha_ The Book of Devarim keeps returning to the mistakes of the past. Moshe reminds the Jewish people where they failed - and he openly recalls where he failed as well. Why would the Torah end this way? Today we look at several examples and ask why this theme dominates the Torah's final book. Is it about guilt, blame, or shame? Or is something much deeper taking place?

A few chapters later, the Torah tells us to do what is good and right. Is that just a change in wording, or is it teaching us something essential about the kind of people God wants us to become? Rashi offers two very different explanations for the relationship between "right" and "good." At first, they seem almost impossible to reconcile.
