Torah in Motion

Every week, we open the parsha. This year, we'll also open the map. 🗺️

Introducing Parsha Paths, a year-long journey exploring the deep connection between parshat hashavua and the Land of Israel. Each week, we'll trace how the weekly portion speaks to the land: its places, its promises, and its enduring meaning.

Redeeming captives has long stood among Judaism's highest communal obligations. But what does halakhah ask of us in the face of captivity, trauma, and return?

Join Rabbi Dr. Yossef Slotnik for a four-part series examining how Chazal and later halakhic authorities grappled with one of the most painful realities a community can face, and the profound values that emerge from their responses.

🗓 June 24 · The Mitzvah of Redeeming Captives

🗓 July 1 · Rebuilding Life After Captivity

🗓 July 8 · Trusting Testimony in Times of Crisis

🗓 July 15 · A Fifteenth-Century Hostage Crisis

Across the series, we'll trace the legal frameworks and the human sensitivity within them, the ways halakhah has sought to protect, restore, and bring people home.
