After nearly sixty years of teaching Torah, Tanakh, and Talmud, the time has come for me to slow the pace of my video and blog lessons. It has been a profound privilege to share these sacred texts and the wisdom they hold with students and learners across so many years, and that journey has shaped me as much as I hope it has shaped others. While my regular schedule of lessons will be winding down, I have not said my final word — I will continue to appear from time to time, whenever the spirit moves me (so to speak), to share insights, reflections, and teachings as they arise. My love for Torah study remains as alive as ever, and I look forward to those moments when we will still be able to learn together.
Parshat Naso is the longest single parsha in the Torah, clocking in at 176 verses. That’s Torah’s way of saying, “Hey, you might want to take a long , serious and contemplative look at what you’re about to learn.”

I wanted to thank all those who have donated to this site, our YouTube & Rumble Channels for your generous support for Shmu's Views on Locals all this time. Your help has been so appreciated. As you may have noticed I no longer post videos and lessons as much as I used to. I have curtailed much of our channels on Locals, YouTube and Rumble for age-related reasons.
As a result, I cannot in good conscience continue to ask for your monthly financial contributions to the site.
Thank you so very much for all you have provided to ensure quality teachings on Judaism and politics.
I would ask that you find another worthy charity or a rabbi who teaches Torah and truth. I know they too would appreciate your support.
Again thank you for your generosity.
Sincerely,
Shmuel ben Shlomi
