Weekly Hashkafa Shiur #117 – A Deeper Understanding of the Story of Yaakov and Esav By Rabbi Mendel Kessin

Rabbi Mendel Kessin – This class discusses the amazing story of Yaakov Avinu and Esav from a practical and spiritual perspective – about how Esav was actually an Av (Forefather) at the beginning and had great power to affect creation. However, by selling his birthright and Yaakov Avinu receiving Esav’s first born blessing from Yitzchak Avinu – his “Av(ness)” duties were passed on to Yaakov Avinu. This dramatically affected Yaakov Avinu’s life as from that point on he took on two (Av) roles – the original one he had of learning Torah in tents (bringing shefa to the World) and the one he inherited from Esav – to go out into the tuma (the harsh evil World) and stay spiritually intact. This is symbolized the Angels that go up and down the ladder. Fascinating class from Rabbi Kessin – highly recommended.

Shulchan Aruch, Chapter 158: Dinei Netilas Yadayim !Short Clips! by Rabbi Avraham Meyer Zajac

Rabbi Avraham Meyer Zajac – Very interested short video explaning when we say brachot (blessing) after Rabbinic mitzvot (ie. Shabbat candles, Chanukah candles, Hallel, Lulav) and why do we say that Hashem commanded us to say a Rabbinically based mitzvah. Furthermore, these brachot are said before the mitzva which contrasts with the bracha we say after we wash our hands (netilat yadayim) is preparation to eat bread. Rabbi Zajac explains why there is this before and after difference.

The Gate of Tears Is Never Closed! By Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus

Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – Shares how the path to the “lost princess” is genuine yearning and tears. However, the secular World (over-eating, secular knowledge, news) will put us asleep spiritually which puts up a wall. Chanukah (which is coming soon) is a great opportunity to connect to Hashem as His presence visits us during this holiday. All suffering comes from a lack of Da’at (the lack of knowing that everything comes from Hashem).

Masechet Nedarim: DaF 30 – מסכת נדרים: דף ‘ל Kippah – כִּיפָּה

On this daf, we learn about the Jewish custom of wearing a kippah. Rabbi Moshe Isserles, the Rem”a (eminent 16th century Polish Talmudist), explained that one should wear a kippah out of respect for the Shekhinah (Divine presence). One displays a lack of respect for the Shekinah by walking about with an uncovered head.

In Masechet Shabbat [daf 156], the Talmud states that wearing a kippah is an auspicious practice to gain yir’at shamayim (fear of heaven). Therefore, it is important to ensure even small children wear a kippah on their heads, so they acquire yir’at shamayim.

Mishnah Berurah rules that nowadays wearing a kippah is not just a custom, but rather, an obligation. As such, it is proper to wear a kippah throughout the day, and certainly during time of prayer, when reciting blessings, or learning Torah.

בְּדַף זֶה לוֹמְדִים עַל מִנְהַג הַיְּהוּדִים לַחֲבוֹשׁ כִּיפָּה. רַבֵּנוּ מֹשֶׁה אִיסֶרְלִישׁ, הֲלֹא הוּא הָרְמָ”א, מַסְבִּיר כִּי צָרִיךְ לַחֲבוֹשׁ כִּיפָּה מִפְּנֵי כְּבוֹד הַשְּׁכִינָה, כִּי אֵין זֶה כָּבוֹד לַשְּׁכִינָה, לָלֶכֶת בְּגִילּוּי רֹאשׁ.

הַתַּלְמוּד בְּמַסֶּכֶת שַׁבָּת (דַּף קנ”ו) אוֹמֵר, שֶׁחֲבִישַׁת כִּיפָּה הִיא סְגוּלָּה לְיִרְאַת שָׁמַיִם, וְלָכֵן חשוב לְהַקְפִּיד שֶׁגַּם יְלָדִים קְטַנִּים יַחְבְּשׁוּ כִּיפָּה עַל רֹאשָׁם, כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּזְכּוּ לְיִרְאַת שָׁמַיִם.

הַ”מִּשְׁנָה בְּרוּרָה” פּוֹסֵק, שֶׁבְּיָמֵינוּ חֲבִישַׁת כִּיפָּה אֵינָהּ רַק מִנְהָג, אֶלָּא חוֹבָה, וְלָכֵן רָאוּי לָלֶכֶת עִ

The miracle must be reversed !Short Clip! by Rabbi Moshe Pinto

Rabbi Moshe Pinto – Shares how the oral tradition explains technically how miracles work (there are two explanations) in the spiritual world and how they affect the physical world and the “price” that needs to be paid. This is also reflected in the wording at the beginning of this week’s upcoming parasha (Toldot) which states that “Yitzchak son of Avraham….Avraham gave birth to Yitzchak”.

Our success comes from the ability to make something out of anything! !Short Clip! by Rabbi Moshe Pinto

Rabbi Moshe Pinto – Shares about the current weekly parasha and why the Torah spends so much time about the specific years of Sarah Imenu’s 127 years of life. How she didn’t waste any days of her life and if we want to emulate how she lived we have to navigate the constant bombardment of wasting time that modern society throws at us.

KLM: Increasing Spiritual Vitality with Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit

Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – Continues sharing how to increase our kavanah (spiritual intent) when doing mitzvot. He elaborates about the biggest obstacle to having kavanah (which presents us from a connection with Hashem) is rushing – this rushing tends to take us out of the present and into the future. Hashem is right here right now so by rushing we are “leaving” where Hashem is. Only by taking our time and having a settled mind can we capture that elusive kavanah. Much more content is in the video class.
