The Most Precious Gift In Life – Current Events

Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi – Shares with us strong Mussar (ethics) perspective on the overall importance of Torah study above all else and how the benefits derived from this greatly outweigh other worldly considerations.

Personal Thoughts – It is certainly a great challenge to change my ways and unlearn what society and culture has taught me during my lifetime. Open-mindedness to a Torah-based perspective is more and more relevant as I get older and realize what to focus on (and de-focus on) for my own benefit.

Weekly Lecture in Brooklyn

Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi – Shares with us strong Mussar (ethics) on how we need to take responsibility for our own actions and look deep inside at our part in the current situation and stop looking at outside things for excuses about why current events are happening. Everything is in the hands of Hashem – the outside influences are just His tools to send us a message to do tshuva. Just like we say on Rosh Hashanah doing tshuva means – learning Torah, doing kind deeds/tzedakah, and prayer.

Part One (Mussar/Current Events):

Part Two (Weekly Torah portion):
