Beha’alotekha:
The Dignity of a Leader
With Rabbi Dr. Ari Bergmann
Please note that this coming Shabbat (May 30, 2026) is Shabbat Beha’alotekha in Israel, while it is Shabbat Naso outside of Israel. Therefore, we are publishing this video this week. The video for Parashat Naso is available here.
This video is part of a series of videos with brief divrei Torah inspired by “Divrei Halev: Thoughts of Rabbi Professor David Weiss Halivni on the Torah Portion” by Rabbi Ronald Price. This video features Rabbi Dr. Ari Bergmann, author of “The Formation of the Talmud: Scholarship and Politics in Yitzhak Isaac Halevy’s Dorot Harishonim” earned his PhD studying with Rabbi Halivni. We look forward to featuring members of the UTJ community and others in presenting future divrei Torah.
Divrei HaLev and many other books may be purchased through the UTJ website at https://www.utj.org/viewpoints/books.
All videos in this series will be available at https://utj.org/viewpoints/modern-judaism/remembering-rabbi-halivni-zl/inspired-by-divrei-halev/ and in our Youtube playlist “Divrei Halev.”
