War and Peace: What Aaron’s Staff Can Teach Us After the Twelve-Day War

War and Peace: What Aaron’s Staff Can Teach Us After the Twelve-Day War

In this episode of Torah from Boca, I reflect on the recent Twelve-Day War between Israel, the United States, and Iran—a conflict that many are already calling a modern miracle. But what does it mean to witness a miracle in real time? And how do we respond to it, not just with gratitude, but with responsibility?

Rather than focusing on the dramatic punishment of Korach in this week’s parashah, I explore the quieter, more enduring miracle of Aaron’s staff—how it sprouted, blossomed, and bore almonds overnight. What powerful lessons can we learn from this small miracle amidst the turmoil of conflict? 

What tools do we need—not just to win battles, but to build peace? Join me as I explore what Aaron’s staff can teach us about leadership, healing, and the harder, holier work that comes after the fighting ends.
