Weekly Torah reflections on Korach and Chukat from Rabbi Yonatan Schwartz

By כיכר השבת
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

The Hebrew news site Kikar HaShabbat published its weekly Torah encouragement segment featuring Rabbi Yonatan Schwartz of Borough Park, who delivers a special commentary on the parashah each week. This installment focuses on Parashot Korach and Chukat.

The piece presents three versions of Schwartz’s talk, in Yiddish, Hebrew, and English, all available to watch. The article also notes a separate Persian-language reflection by Rabbi Shlomo Zvahihi on Parashat Chukat.

The segment is framed as a source of spiritual strengthening from the weekly Torah portion and is presented under the site’s Judaism coverage. The embedded videos are labeled as 3:49 in Yiddish, 4:16 in Hebrew, and 4:06 in English.

No further narrative or new development is reported, beyond the weekly release of the videos and the invitation to view them.
