Mozeson on the Parsha – Tetzaveh

I S A A C  M O Z E S O N | The opening verse of our parsha, Exodus 27:20, isn’t simply about some tribe in antiquity with the powerful ritual symbol of an eternal flame, a נר תמיד / NeR TaMeeyD, (as used in the JFK memorial). The verse hints that the Children of Israel themselves, ויקחו אליך / EyLeYKHah (take for you), are to be the crushed fine lamp oil.

The Torah of Mozeson – Terumah

D R.  I S A A C  M O Z E S O N | Dr. Isaac Mozeson discusses the Torah portion Terumah, exploring how the seemingly impoverished ex-slaves could afford materials for the wilderness Tabernacle. He cites biblical texts suggesting they left Egypt with great wealth and external sources supporting this wealth’s existence. Mozeson also draws parallels with Israel’s modern challenges, highlighting potential for prosperity despite financial difficulties. Mozeson, a prolific author and founder of the discipline of Edenics, studies ancient Hebrew’s connection to the world’s languages.
