Thank you for the comprehensive teaching. It is marvelous. I am 75 years old and hard of hearing. I would be blessed to be to be able to read it. Is there a transcript of it? Or, if it is available on YouTube I can make a transcript of it with TurboScribe, I looked for it there, and subscribed to your channel, but I could not find it.

I already receive Chabad.org's newsletters. Reply

That was AMAZING!

Thank you for this profound drash and thank HaShem as the source. Chabad and your sacrifices to become our Rabbi, beam up light as does the Menorah! Reply

Thank you! This was extremely enjoyable and educational. You have a wonderful talent for getting the meat off the bone and serving it up with a homey, comfort so that it enters and stays in the brain... naturally, like it always was there but now we can understand what we only knew.
Blessings to you and yours from Him through us, because all we have to give is His. B"H Reply

Salt In Jewish Law And Custom Dear Rabbi Kaplan, what a wonderful teaching! I am so, so grateful to Hashem, blessed be He, for Chabad.org. My soul hungers for these teachings. I am not that young, at 65, according to statistics, one does not learn so quickly, but Hashem, blessed be He, is helping me to understand so much, and you Rabbi Kaplan are a part of this learning. Thank you so much. You definitely have a great gift from our King of Kings. Blessings continually to you and yours for bringing into the light of Torah. Reply

Salt in Jewish Law and Custom Thank You Rabbi. Such Great Teaching. Reply

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. Reply

Salt in Jewish Law and Custom 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 Reply

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! Reply
