Rabbi Lawrence will deliver this message from this week’s Parashah Chukat (Statute), covering Numbers 19:1-22:1. This parashah teaches us many lessons about faith, obedience, leadership trials and failures, and the victories and provisions granted by God as the Israelites journey towards the Promised Land. This morning, the focus will be on the story of the fiery serpents in the wilderness, which highlights the importance of faith and the transformative power of looking to God for healing and salvation. “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life!” (John 3:14–15, TLV)
