Into the Verse - A Parsha Podcast

Beha’alotcha: What started the Israelites’ downward spiral?

Aleph Beta Episode 9

In Parshat Beha’alotcha, we see the beginning of the dramatic downfall of the generation of the exodus. This dive leads, eventually, to 40 years of wandering in the desert and death to the entire generation. What happened? What catastrophic event tipped the scales of the Israelites’ fate so significantly? Rabbi Fohrman explores this question and finds a link to another event with cataclysmic results, not just for the Israelites, but for all of humanity.
