Parshas Tetzaveh tells us to “place the Urim v’Tumim” on the Choshen worn by the Kohen Gadol. But it doesn’t tell us what the Urim v’Tumim were. “I always heard that the letters on the stones on the Choshen lit up and spelled out words, but that’s not what it says in Gemara,” Taub said. In this week’s episode of the Parshah Rabbit Hole, Taub sorts through several different explanations of how the Urim v’Tumim worked, and follows clues that lead to an interesting chapter in Jewish History.
