Naso 5782-2022
“The Hypocrite as Exemplar”
(updated and revised from Naso 5763-2003)
Why is the Torah portion concerning the person who fails to fulfill his religious obligation juxtaposed with the portion of the woman who is suspected of being unfaithful to her husband? From this unusual textual positioning we learn much about human nature. Providing a favorable example is far more impressive and effective than preaching.
