Posted on: February 13th, 2014
Judaism → ParshaOne of the most extraordinary images in the Torah appears in this week's portion. Moshe requests of God: "Show me your glory." God responds that He cannot be seen by any human being.

Judaism → ParshaThe Gemara says that Moshe lost his ability to pray and protest when he was ordered to descend.
