The story · English

Rabbi Rafael Zar, head of the Karvanu LeAvodatecha institutions and one of Israel’s prominent baalei teshuva leaders, appears in a weekly segment on Kikar HaShabbat discussing the Torah portion. This installment is dedicated to Parashat Balak and is presented as an uplifting message that combines moral teaching with encouragement.

The item says the reflection is part of the site’s regular weekly Torah corner and invites viewers to watch and draw inspiration from it. No further details about the content of the talk are provided in the text beyond its focus on strengthening and ethical guidance.

The article also identifies Zar by his role as the head of the Karvanu LeAvodatecha network and notes his standing among prominent figures involved in religious outreach and return to observance.
