Welcome to the Nishma Insight Discussion Forum blog.


The NISHMA INSIGHT is our popular dvar Torah, distributed almost every week by e-mail, that touches upon an important concept in the Parsha, theme in a holiday or event in contemporary society.

Often, readers respond, via e-mail, with comments that initiate a further dialogue. Through this Discussion Forum, we now wish to open this dialogue to others. If you have a comment on the INSIGHT, we invite you place to your comments here; then we invite everyone to join the discussion.

  1. My point is that: Given dibra torah bilshon bnei adam - would indicate this audience was versed in Egyptian imagery Further more This constitutes a powerful counter argument against Bible Critics …
    As far as lack of understanding of the original IDIOM If your parshanut is Halachic based this loss of P'shat is not critical to us. It is sad to lose meaning but not critical And we know via hiskatnu hadoros that meanings were lost This seems pashut
