Rabbi Yonatan Schwartz Delivers Weekly Torah Message on Parashot Chukat and Balak
Every week, Kikar HaShabbat features Rabbi Yonatan Schwartz of Borough Park with a special Torah message on the weekly portion, delivered in Yiddish, Hebrew, and English. This installment focuses on Parashot Chukat, which is read outside Israel, and Balak, which is read in Israel.
The article presents the weekly “vort” as a source of encouragement from the Torah and includes three recorded versions of the message, one in each language. The Yiddish segment runs about 3:05 minutes, the Hebrew version about 3:01 minutes, and the English version about 2:59 minutes.
The page also links to additional Torah-related content, including a piece by Rabbi Yaakov Gloiberman titled “Fear Versus Leadership” and a lesson by Rabbi Baruch Rosenblum on Parashat Balak.
