Saturday, May 16, 2026
Rabbi Pinchas Allouche, head Rabbi at Congregation Beth Tefillah in Scottsdale, and the host of the Rabbi Allouche podcast, joins Seth for the full hour to talk about this week's Torah portion, known as Bamidbar, which comes from the book of Numbers. They delve into the story of the Israelites being counted in by Moses, and how this census of the Hebrew people was not just about numbers, but about elevating and recognizing the infinite potential of each individual. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as they discuss the concept of the Sabbath and its importance in modern times. Seth shares President Trump's proclamation calling for a national Sabbath, and how this can be a powerful reminder of the beauty and necessity of taking a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
