Warning, this is a PG-13 teaching and parental guidance is strongly advised.
Well, I noticed that I skipped this Torah Portion last year and so while going through it on Monday, I realized that this would be the perfect chance to teach about the Sotah test in Numbers 5 – the ritual God gave to women in order to prove that they were not guilty of adultery if their husbands got jealous.
This was taught to me by my Temple teacher Joseph Good and you can find his much larger teaching “The Heavens Rejoiced: A Sukkot Story” available to be watched on www.jerusalemtemplestudy.com for subscribers or for sale at Hatikva.org. It is the amazing teaching of the birth of Messiah from his conception during the Feast of Hannukah to his birth on Sukkot – proven not only Biblically but also through extra-biblical Jewish writings.
