We are winding our way towards the end of the Torah. A strong element in this week’s portion of Ki Tezeh is Rachamim, or mercy. Shmuel is puzzled by a particular verse and hopes to untangle it as he shares his thoughts. Stay tuned for a teaching on birds’ nests, long life, and mercy. Shabbat Shalom!
Thank you for this talk. I always listen to your talks so I remember what the week’s parasha is!
Another simple reason for the rule is that the mother can lay more eggs, so your food supply is perpetuated. If you take the eggs and the mother, you have nothing for next season. Also, don’t take all the eggs 🥚 so that the birds can multiply.
Thank you for this insight Shmuel, and especially the link between this simple mitzvah and the Commandment to honor our Mother and Father having the same reward. These links are vital to expand our understanding of Torah laws.
I just completed an in-depth study of Deuteronomy 20-21, where I used this method and found an extraordinary depth of understanding in these chapters – an understanding that brought me to tears in fact. I would love to share it with you. Please email me if you would like to read it.
