Episode Description

Parsha through the lens of translation: When Hashem says "ונתת מהודך" to Moshe with regards to Yehoshua, what exactly does "מהודך" mean?

While the standard teitch translation seems to be 'beauty', both the la'az and some teitch traditions seems to preserve an alternative, mildly surprising translation, helping us make sense of and sort through the differing views in the meforshim.

And, as it turns out, this all has much to do with the meaning and interpretation of the concept of "הוד" in Chassidus as well.
