covenant of salt

Thank you for the lesson! I couldn't help remembering how Elisha cast salt into waters that brought death and bereavement, and Hashem's healing the waters.

Thank you

Rabbi,
Thank you for teaching here on the internet. I am learning so much. Was not raised Jewish, not raised in any church.
But at 45 years old I find myself drawn to these teachings.
I don't have a Rabbi close by... living in North Idaho. So it is such an incredible thing to have you available.
Thank you again.

Every week I look forward to the class of Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, because with his charisma, he teaches us the Parshah with joy and I learn a lot of matters that remains a little hide in my other classes of Torah, I presence during the week, and they are very good classes too. Thank you very much Rabbi

History question:

Great lesson.

Your talk about the Dead Sea piqued my curiosity: Did the salt used in temple sacrifices come from the Dead Sea? Or did they have salt mines?

Thanks!
