Chief Rabbi David Lau Shares Weekly Torah Portion Insights

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

Chief Rabbi David Lau is presenting a weekly Torah portion commentary on the website Kikar HaShabbat. This week's "Vort" (a short discourse) focuses on the Parashat Ha'azinu and Shabbat Shuvah, the Sabbath of Return, which falls between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Rabbi Lau's segment, part of a series called "Elul-Cast," aims to provide insights into the weekly Torah portion for families to discuss during Shabbat meals. The program also addresses questions about the High Holidays, including the meaning of the "Days of Awe" and how to manage the lengthy prayer services.

This week's commentary is dedicated to the recovery of Rabbanit Piga Tziporah, daughter of Hadassah.
