Baruch Oberlander brings his popular weekly talk, “Questions and Dilemmas in the Torah Portion,” to the Vasvári Synagogue in Budapest every Friday. The series dives into moral puzzles and textual twists from the weekly parasha, with smart, straightforward insights and plenty of audience engagement. It’s the kind of session where you leave with more to think about than when you walked in — and that’s the point.
