This week's portion continues the description of the sacrifices in the Tabernacle. Because it is the week after the Purim holiday, we also add an additional reading -- not from Leviticus, but from Numbers, describing the ritual of the red heifer.
There is lots of excitement around the concept of the red heifer, which is said by some to be one of the requirements for the messianic age. Red cows are rare and somehow, according to what I've heard, two have emerged in recent years.
That has some people excited about the possibilities for redemption in the near future. I don't know if I'd put all that much emphasis on a cow, but I would agree that living one's life in constant expectation of success is not a bad way to be.

Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
Special guests:
- Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the shutdown
- John Carney - Breitbart News financial editor, on the upcoming jobs report
- Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News entertainment editor, on the Kimmel fallout
- Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on the UN and Gaza talks
