This parashah has enough in it to for an entire summer-long bible study. The Red Heifer for removal of uncleanliness (this is interesting because what has to be done to make you clean makes you unclean while doing it), Miriam dies, the sin of Moses at Meribah when he struck

If you read my post from June 23, you got the story about how we had to make all these last minute changes to get to New York in time to catch our planes home. Well, the story was just starting! We got to the airport in Tel Aviv and
