Parashat Pekudei / March 15 / Rabbi José Rolando Matalon / The innermost place in the Mishkan is the empty space in the human heart / Visiting Scholar

Listen

We're overjoyed to welcome some of the most engaging, powerful teachers in the US and Israel. Many are long-time Kitchen favorites, some newer to us but all known for their ability to connect Torah to our lives right now. We'll spend a whole shabbat with these thinkers, like a retreat without having to pack. Listen to our past visiting scholars’ drashot here.

Our guest teacher this week is Rabbi José Rolando Matalon of B’nai Jeshrun and founding co-director of Piyut North America, a partnership between B’nai Jeshurun and Hazmanah Le-Piyut in Israel, which is dedicated to the dissemination of liturgical music from Jewish communities around the world.
