In Jewish life
Jewish practice and Jewish teaching both have something to say about Numbers 36. Three things follow: where it is read, what is done because of it, and how the rabbis have taught it. The purpose is to inform a Christian reader what Jews believe and how Judaism was and is practised.
The reading
Weekly portion 43 of 54
