Parashat Chukat
פרשת חוקת
This year, Jews outside of Israel read the double Torah portion of Chukat and Balak. For the sake of convenience and coherent indexing, we have still divided the Divrei Torah into two separate sections; however, where the Divrei Torah relate to both parshas at once, we have tried to note that. And don’t forget: If you like the indexes, please subscribe to receive email updates, and tell all your friends!
