Episode Synopsis

Hashem tells Moshe it’s the people’s revenge—but Moshe calls it Hashem’s war. Why the difference? In this deep dive into Parshas Matos & Masei, the Zera Shimshon uncovers Moshe Rabbeinu’s bold reframing of vengeance, and how Midyan’s hatred wasn’t personal—it was spiritual.As we step into Rosh Chodesh Av and the Nine Days, this episode offers a powerful meditation on why we fight, how we endure, and what it means to build from love—not ego.
