Chief Rabbi David Lau Offers a Short Torah Thought on Parashat Chukat

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

The article presents a brief weekly Torah talk by Israel’s Chief Rabbi, Rabbi David Lau, focused this week on Parashat Chukat. The segment is part of a recurring feature on Kikar HaShabbat, where Rabbi Lau appears every week with a short Torah insight for Shabbat tables.

The introduction invites viewers who are looking for a Torah teaching for the Sabbath meal, or who want to learn about the weekly portion and discuss it with family. This week’s installment is described as a full conversation by Rabbi Lau about Chukat.

The page also references previous and related weekly appearances, including a prior segment on Parashat Korach and another item about Chief Rabbi Kalman Ber offering a thought on Chukat. At the end, the feature is dedicated to the recovery of Rebbetzin Piga Tzipora bat Hadassa.
