NISHMA FORUM: Insights: February 2020

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.

(If you are not receiving the NISHMA INSIGHT, we invite you join our mailing/e-mail list through completing our sign-up form available at our website.)

We can perhaps assume that Moshe Rabbeinu enacted the schedule of Torah readings even though it did not solve the immediate problem of having gone three days without a form of Torah inspiration as He was thinking about a solution l'dorot, for the generations. In the moment, the call was, perhaps, for people to be aware of the problem and develop their own forms of gaining Torah inspiration.
