Chukat – Numbers 19:1 – 22:1

Shabbat Shalom!

This week, we dive into one of the most mysterious and painful episodes in the Torah—Moshe striking the rock in Parshat Chukat. Why was this act so severe that it cost him entry into the Land of Israel?

More than a story of leadership and consequence, this moment reveals a deep truth about human nature, control, and faith. What does it mean to surrender to God’s will, especially when life doesn’t go according to plan?

In this personal and powerful episode, recorded during a week of unexpected loss and change, we reflect on how Parshat Chukat speaks to the heart of our struggles—and our ability to let go and trust in something greater.

Watch now and discover the eternal message of Parshat Chukat: When life breaks our plans, God is still writing the story.
