About this episode
The episode analyzes Rashi's explanation of Hashem's rebuke to Aharon and Miriam for speaking against Moshe and the lessons learned from this event.
Rashi (Bamidbar 12:4) explains how Hashem miraculously simultaneously spoke to Moshe, Aharon, and Miriam in order to rebuke Aharon and Miriam for speaking against Moshe. Because they hadn’t been Tahor from being with their spouses, they couldn’t handle the experience - they said, “Water! Water!” (Presumably they were looking for a Mikvah.) We analyze this strange Rashi and learn how Hashem taught them an important lesson.
