In this week's Parsha and Prose, we journey through Parshat Naso (Numbers 4:21–7:89) and find rich parallels in Leo Tolstoy’s literary masterpiece, Anna Karenina. What do a Torah portion about vows, purity, and priestly blessings have in common with a 19th-century Russian novel? More than you think. 💬 From the Sotah ritual that examines marital suspicion to the Nazirite vow of sacred discipline, we explore how Torah law and Tolstoy’s narrative both grapple with love, trust, spiritual purpose, and societal norms. 🔍 In This Episode: ✨ The tragic arc of Anna Karenina vs. the moral boundaries in Parshat Naso ✨ Levin’s spiritual awakening and the Nazirite’s vow of devotion ✨ How suspicion, shame, and sanctity intertwine in both texts ✨ The priestly blessings and the universal longing for peace, grace, and connection 📚 Why This Matters: Both Torah and classic literature reflect our deepest human tensions—desire vs. duty, individuality vs. community, and chaos vs. order. This episode invites you to wrestle with those questions and discover timeless insights for modern life. 🕊️ Perfect for: → Lovers of Torah and literature → Students of ethics, psychology, and spirituality → Anyone navigating love, responsibility, and personal growth 🔗 Resources & Links: 🌐 More episodes of Parsha & Prose → [Insert Link] 📝 Weekly Torah insights newsletter → [Insert Link] 🎧 Subscribe to the podcast: [Spotify] [Apple] [RSS]
