knot???? in the last verse the comment was made that, when the l_rd passed by the cave that Moses was in ,,Moses saw the "back" of G-d....this is the knot of the tefillinI knoe this not..what does this mean???? Reply
We cannot see God's essence, his panim (face), so God showed moshe the back of the tefillin. In short Reply
The tefillin has a knot that goes at the base of the skull. Reply
moshe was a brillant torah scholar and kaballist.he knew that he and the people were essentially the same.destroy them is in essence destroying moshe. we all come from the same source and upon our death return to the same source, we are all one person from god via the master soul adam. do harm to another you areactually doing harm t yourself. help someone else you are actually helping yourself. get rid of your ego.hashem only .

Goshen & Israel Baruch Hashem and thank you for your teaching. Why is the word Goshen written so many times in 46:28-29? Is there a special meaning when the name "Israel" is used instead of Jacob and "Jacob" used instead of Israel? Va-Yehi verses 28 thru 31. First its Jacob then Israel Reply
Part II of my questions from Brooklyn, NY Please may I have sources which I can flesh out with further study; however, the sources, for my sake, need to be extant in English translations. Thank you, Reply
Posting a comment and Esav's head Had to switch to the old Chabad version, in order to post a comment. Where is it on the newer version? In an earlier shiur, you said that Esav was a Jew. His head, luz bone, is in the Cave of Machpela. What about Techias ha Maisim, and the significance of head, the resting place of his head, and the Tanya perspective? Reply
Definition Both words are derived from the same source. Kadosh. Meaning set aside, designated. Something might be designated for "holiness (like Chevra Kadisha - the Holy Society in charge of burial) or something can be set apart for harlotry. The words harlot Kedesha) and the word for marriage (Kidushin) are of the same root. Reply
Overall reaction to your work Your chumash lectures are very much worth listening to since you have such a genuine and innocent sense of humor. Thank you. Reply
Definition of a word You mentioned Kah-day-shah, as woman who is a harlot. How does this word differ from the word used to describe Chevra Kadesha, the burial society? Are these words related or totally different? Please clarifty. Reply

What is the Balaturin? Dear Rabbi, 1)Please inform what is the Balaturin?2) Why alway half way through the teaching you alway said " good morning" to somebody? Reply
Ba'al Turim was a rabbi. I had to look it up myself. (Not sure i spelled it correctly) Reply
Rashi Shiur - wonderful Just started to learn rashi each day and was wondering how to tackle this. I have today listened to Rabbi Gordon's shiur with amazement at the superb clarity and style. Deeply grateful and look forward to joining the shiur from the UK via this site on a dail basis. Many thanks Reply
Purgatory Shalom Rabbi Gordon,I don't know very much about this subject .What i do know it is a place of purification. I would appricate it if you could give some answers on the subject and text from the Tanch.ShalomSandraI so enjoy your program. Reply
Portion behind the portion... Shalom Rabbi,Thank-you for sharing your sense of humor thoughout your lesson. Trust me, I'm not offended by your jokes, however, as the great comedians say, "there seems to be a pattern here". As a loving devoted widow, of my late beloved husband Leonard and favorite comedian might have said, "You gotta' pick your audience". Although the majority of your jokes were biased against "the wife", hmmm ? Looking forward to the Rebbitsen's website. Reply
ki teitzei your comment about a soldier bringing home a captive and announcing to his other wife: honey , i'm home, and guess what i brought home - was hilarious.keep up the good work - i really enjoy the parsha of the week, and when i have time i also click on the rambam shiurthank you Reply

Torah Lessons I am a parapeligic shut in with an extreme medical situations. You do not possibly know how wonderous it is to be able to study with you in these days. i had spent years with seeing a Rabbi only once a month. Now i can both see and hear Torah .Tanya ,etc. from Chabad and the delight is great. Boruch Hashem! I hope to live to be 120 just so I might study each day. Reply
I know this comment was written quite a while ago; however, I found your comment to be beautiful. I too have similar situations and your comment made me feel special, happy and admiration for you. Bezarat Hashem. Reply
