The commentary this week focuses on an update on the red heifers that are now in Israel and their significance to the sacrificial ritual of the red heifer described in our parashah. We will also discuss scriptural support that indicates Yahshua kept the Mosaic Laws concerning purification that are alluded to in his contact with the disciples, Thomas specifically, that occurred after His resurrection. Finally we are reminded through a tragic account between Jephtah and his daughter that vows should not be made lightly, and that we should trust G-d with all our hearts. As in the account of the serpent uplifted on a pole symbolized, we must keep our eyes heavenward even when we are in the midst of "being bitten."
