Hi {{ subscriber.first_name | capitalize() or "friend" }},

This coming Shabbat's Torah portion, read in Israel on Saturday, July 16th, is Pinchas. In this portion a census of the Israelites is taken. The daughters of Zelophehad successfully argue for a portion in the land of Israel.

We are delighted to share our lesson: Fear of God and the Hebrew Midwives, from our course: Fear of God in the Hebrew Bible. With our teacher Ann P. Levin. Learn it here.
