The Power of Tradition

The Power of Tradition

For over 2,000 years, the Jewish people have been reading a Torah portion every week (parashat haShavuah) – regardless of where they are located and what their situation may be. Oddly enough, many young adults in Israel today do not feel connected to these weekly readings, and even reject the tradition altogether. We at Sapir Hillel decided to make the Torah portions more accessible for Israeli young people through a weekly radio program called "Parashim BaLayla" (literally "Nighttime Cowboys," a play on the word parashah, for the weekly portion). The show is broadcast on the local Kol HaNegev station, 106.4 FM. The program deals with the weekly Torah portion and its issues, and includes discussions with academics and other scholars, artists, social activists, writers and poets, etc. Woven into the program are readings and music that are related to the parashah and its content.

The radio show is gaining popularity on the Sapir College campus, although the closing of the campus during the war made its continuation uncertain. But the students in charge of the radio program decided that a tradition like parashat haShavuah is not something you interrupt, even in time of war. They are continuing to broadcast the show and to study the parashah, from the besieged Sapir College campus.
