I will BLESS those who BLESS You and CURSE those who CURSE You: Tucker Carlson on Jewish Destiny

Shalom Aleichem Chevra, welcome back! What does Titus — one of the greatest enemies of the Jewish people — say from beyond the grave about whether YOU should align with the Jews? In this shiur we dive deep into Parshas Matot and the fascinating request of Shevet Reuven, Shevet Gad, and half of Shevet Manashe to settle on the east side of the Jordan River, the Trans-Jordan territories conquered from the giants. We unpack the famous Rashi that points out how these tribes listed their livestock before their children, and what Moshe's sharp response teaches us about priorities — keeping the main thing the main thing. We also explore the powerful connection the Torah itself draws between this episode and the sin of the Meraglim, the spies. Moshe pushes back hard, reminding the two and a half tribes that their fathers already tried something similar at Kadesh Barnea, and that Hashem swore the land to the Jewish people through oath after oath. The Torah is spending serious ink here, and we talk about why. Then we shift to some incredible Gemara material covering Titus, his destruction of the Beis Hamikdash, and his gruesome end — with a mosquito boring into his brain for seven years.
