Parshat Chukat – Part 1
Rabbi Reuven Lauffer
Rabbi Lauffer often emphasizes that the mysterious law of the Red Heifer is not “rational” in the conventional sense, but rather rooted in a profound spiritual truth: in order to purify what is transient, one must engage with loss. It is a soul-practice that enables a person to rise above ordinary forces and connect to a deeper state of purity.
