Why Yaakov was not able to be comforted over the tragic loss of his son

Oorah’s founder, Rabbi Chaim Mintz, gives a weekly class on Zoom, Tuesday nights at 8:30PM EST. The weekly Jewish class usually expounds on a mitzvah, Jewish philosophy, or the Torah perspective on a hot topic, based on the weekly Torah portion or the upcoming Jewish holiday. It’s a great option for those looking for a fresh approach to online Torah study. The half-hour Torah Class is followed by the popular Ask the Rabbi session at 9, in which participants can raise their hands to receive spot-on answers to candid questions about anything Jewish. You can also submit your question in advance to have it read aloud by the moderator, at asktherabbi@oorah.org.
