Prayer is really about changing the one praying, not the external situation.
We read in Psalms:
Moshe and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among those who call in His name, would call out to HaShem, and He would answer them (Psalm 99:6).
What was the essence of the power of these individuals that ensured that their prayers were answered? Why is Samuel connected the Moshe and Aaron in this verse?
Parshat Korach (Numbers 16:1–18:32) — Korach, Datan and Aviram organize a rebellion challenging Moses’ leadership and questioning the granting of the kehunah (priesthood) to Aaron. He is Joinied by 250 distinguished members of the community.
Parshat Shelach (Numbers 13:1–15:41) — We look at the Sin of the spies and their eternal implications.The remedy for that sin is also explored.
Nasso (Numbers 4:21–7:89) — What is the difference between blessing and prayer? What can we do for G-d that would be original and unique? Is that impossible?
Behar (Leviticus 25:1-26:2) — What does the portion teach about the written and the oral Torah. What do we learn about the connection between Mount Sinai and the Land of Israel?
Emor ( Leviticus 21:1–24:23) — he powers of stirring the Heavens from below while being wary of the dangers of being too politically correct.
