What is the Covenant of Salt? Well, it’s something that’s talked about in only three places in the Torah, and this week’s parsha is one of those places.
Rabbi Avram offers this video, which will be published in its entirety on YouTube later this week, but we have a special sneak preview that you can watch exclusively here on Hidden Treasures.

Gevalt, it’s almost shabbos! What a week. I’m ready for a day to kick out of regular gear and into shabbos mode and get re-ensouled.
I want to thank everyone who wrote in or subscribed to the blog or participated in the discussions this week. And in particular a big thank you to Melamed Garry for all his help with sourcing uncited quotations and translating the obscure (to me) Hebrew used in the Yiddish texts.
And now, though I did not have a chance to do any translating today, I will leave you with a great contemporary teaching on this week’s parsha. Rabbi Avram kindly gave over this video teaching today, especially for this shabbos. The “DigitalMaggid with Rabbi Avram Davis” video series has been on a brief hiatus, but we plan to resume our regular schedule next week and we’ll keep you posted on our new releases. (To see the video click “read more” below — the viewer doesn’t fit the column so well.)
So, Good Shabbos! everyone and we’ll see you next week for a lot more wonderful stories and teachings from the tradition.
