קטגוריה משנית

I say about 3 million Jews left Egypt with Moses, But a friend of mine says 600,000 Is there a number we can put on this? Thank you for your time

The Torah records that 600,000 adult males over the age of 20 left, so 3 million sounds like a reasonable estimate to me.

Sukkot stories

"Rabbi Alnekaveh told a story he heard once from an etrog-seller who used to bring Rav Eliyahu etrogim to check: "It is well-known that Rab Eliyahu could look at an etrog for mere seconds and immediately discern its advantages and defects..."

A Community Coin

The Sin of the Golden Calf is rectified by the communal service in the Holy Temple. This is achieved via the precept of the half-shekel offering.

The Spirit of Community

What do you do when your people have just made a Golden Calf? How do you restore moral order? The answer lies in the first word of today’s parsha: Vayakhel.
