Parshat Chukat - 2026

Chevre, this week’s parsha in Israel is Chukat (חקת). Outside of Israel, the parsha is Korach (קרח). We have the episode of the Israelites trying to get from the east side of the area of modern Jordan to the Jordan River and the west side of the river. They come upon Edom, disendents from Esav, and ask to pass through their area. They promise to stay on the road, not to eat anything and even to pay for passage.
