The Class
Wow
amazing class! but what's with the so called (inapropriate) pictures of "Moshe Rabainu"
Tzur Sela
Awesome!
Fantastic!
Yishar Koach!
May Hashem Yisborech accept your words "Speaking to the rock" "Hertzieger Verter" words from the Heart which will surely enter the heart and cease to "Strike the rock" and give you and all Yidden revealed material and spiritual good, Moshiach Now! Amain! Again thank you! Yishar Koach!
Numbers of viewers?
In the name of transparency, I was wondering whether the number of "viewers" you display reflect actual viewers, or it adds a "viewer" each time the viewer (even the same one) clicks the play button. Because when I tried it myself, each time I clicked play the number of viewers went up by one.
For ethical purposes, it would be wise to reflect the accurate count of viewers, so as not to create exaggerated numbers.

For complete transparency you should probably use your real name in your comment
In any event, they are not trying to exaggerate numbers, it seems that it is merely functional. Why would you need to click the play button more than once?
All the best.
another explanation
There is another explanation: Moshe Rabbeinu, showed true leadership and order that G-d should never have a plausible complaint to the Jews, that even a "domem" (rock) listened to Me when I spoke but the midaber (yidden) didn’t… so he displayed true leadership and gave up his lifelong dream not to go into Eretz Yisroel in order give the Jews a pass for later in their history…
questions
you mention it´s needed another kind of leadership for entering Isroel but then nothing is mentioned about.
why it shouldn´t be sanctified HaShem´s name by strucking the rock? It´s a miraculous way too…. And when HaShem asked Moses to talk with it they were alone, people doesn´t know which should be the right way.
סלע ושם הוי"ה
כמדומה שהרב לא אמר הגימטריא לפי הסדר וצריך להיות כך: יוד פעמים ה' שהוא חמשים. ה' פעמים ו' שהוא שלשים. ו' פעמים ה' שהוא שלשים. וה' פעמים יו"ד שהוא חמשים. סך הכל 160, הגימטריא דסלע.
כלומר כל אות מכפילים עם האות שבאה לאחריה: היו"ד עם הה"א, הה"א עם הוא"ו, הוא"ו עם הה"א והה"א עם היו"ד (שבתחלת האות). כך נראה לפי עניות דעתי

עדיין לא נתבאר מדוע נאמר קח את המטה? וגם מדוע היה זה היפך קידוש השם
?

What a beautiful line by Rav Kook! Stones that melt and hearts that are like stones.

See also Rav Eleyahoo Munk on Chukas for his similar insight.
best so far
this is the best lecture i have heard so far, it combines gematria and chumash and kabbalistic thought. lecture was stimulating and provoking and coherent.
please do more in the same fashion
Transparency
No need to be defensive. My name is Jack, living in Kew Garden Hills, working in Brooklyn -- nothing to hide. I happen to be a techie, and have been working on different sites and "viewer counters." When someone directed me to the large numbers you were advertising (30,000) I was curious and went to check it out. My question is coming from a sincere place, and just thought it would be good to understand how the numbers are tallied.
And btw, statistics show that many people will press play several times (they may stop it and restart or for various other reasons), as well as press mp3 more than once.
AT the same time, more than one person may be viewing a particular webcast.
tzur/sela
What is the meaning--HBH is our Tzur--in the context of your drash?
Tzur
As explained in class, G-d as Tzur is usually associated in Tanach with his name Elokim, represnting the G-dliness often embedded and deeply concealed within the "rock" of existance, where man must struggle to discover the underlying spiritual core of all reality.
fantastic
just finished the shiyur on podcast in car.... FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
That last gematria tzur & sela equaling kossel was the cherry on the top.
Beautiful. Geshmak
I am a Rock.
Shimon Garfinkel's interpretation of this story was truly enlightening!
sandals
where can one buy a pair of sandals seen in the picture "depicting" Moses?
grateful
Dear R.Jacobson,
as one who is experiencing a great amount of pain in life, I must thank you for providing me with the tools and learning to cope with this. I wait all week for Monday night, when I can have, for a few moments, light, and inspiration. May G-d bless you, and your sponsors for spreading such holiness in the world. I thank you from the depth of my heart, with an appreciation mere words can never express.

another difference between the 2 incidents cited is the word used for "livestock". In Beshelach, mikneh is used; in Chukat, b'ier. What is the significance of this?
gavriel yitzhakmikne is also "purchased"; bi'er is related to fire, burning as well as the verb for rooting out, elimination e.g. bi'ur hametz.
