In this age of instant access to endless information, we are tempted to try to know everything! Is curiosity necessary a good thing, or is it sometimes, as our sages suggest, an offshoot of arrogance? True wisdom is in the acknowledgment that there are things that lie beyond our intellectual grasp. This wisdom is the portal to purity. Chukat (Numbers 19:1-22:1) Parashat Chukat is read on Shabbat: Tammuz 5, 5769/June 27, 2009 http://www.templeinstitute.org/
