!Short Clip! Terumah – Opportunity To Do Good | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Explains why the Aron (where the luchos – ten commandments were kept) was made of wood covered in gold and not solid gold. The Jews had enough money to make it solid gold like the menorah and it was the holiest of objects. Even if was heavy it could still carry itself like it did when necessary. It was so we can participate and carry the Aron not because it needs us – just like we can participate in Torah. Torah will continue without us, the Jewish people will continue without us – but we benefit and need to participate to keep us going.

!Short Clips! KLM: Word for the Shabbos Table and Mitzvah for Life: A Surprising Path for Spiritual Growth with Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit

Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – Shares about how to attain a mitzvah (good deed) by not doing something. Seems counter-intuitive since we tend to associate attaining a mitzvah when we actively participate in doing something positive, but Rabbi Wegbreit shows us how we can attain the same status as having have done a mitzvah by not doing something. The key is intention that we are aware we are not doing something for reasons of Hashem’s will. For example, you pass a car is unlocked and running and consciously say to yourself that I am NOT going to steal it and/or take it for a ride and I’m doing a mitzvah by doing Hashem’s will by not doing this.

Beyond The Resume – How To Choose A Job (Ep. 271) | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares about the Torah view about how to find a job and the underlying reasons behind why.

Q&A

Q&A – Physicality, Purpose & End of the Amidah (Rabbi Dovid Gottleib) (Jewish Philosophy)

Rabbi Dovid Gottleib – Answers various questions from Ohr Sameach students about Jewish Philosophy. One question in particular around the 14:00 minute mark of the video, focuses on what Rabbi Dessler says that there are the goals that we are meant to achieve in this World and separately but obviously related are the means in which we are given to achieve those goals. Prayer can only be effective in the former and not the later – if we to divert ourselves for our primary goal/mission in life it won’t work but if we pray to be given the means to achieve the primary goal than those prayers are more likely to be answered.

Getting Unstuck From The Past and Blasting Forward | Soul Talk By Rabbi David Aaron

Rabbi David Aaron – Shares in this brief interview about how important our choices are but the results of those choices are in Hashem’s hands. We can take responsbility for our choices but not necessarily for the results. Even if things are going well its a good idea to still check in with someone (a mentor) because while you may be getting the results that you want you may still not be making the right choices. Most people base their choices based on the results rather than understand that the ultimate results are actually the integrity of your choices.

The True Meaning Of Tu B’shvat (Ep. 270) | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares the underlying meanings of the “minor” holiday of Tu B’shvat. This includes the concept of it being the new year of the tries (parallel to how Rosh Hashanah is the new year of the World). Every year on Rosh Hashanah Hashem determines whether the World deserves another turn by it’s content and future promise of mitzvot and fulfilling Hashem’s plan. Similarly, trees represent the potential of it’s upcoming fruit ensuring it’s survival to bear that fruit.

!Short Clips! KLM: The Mitzvah of Lechem Mishneh from Ritual to Rich Jewel and Word for the table Mitzvah for life Parshas Yisro Shabbos is Our Soulmatewith Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit

Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – In these two !Short Clips! Rabbi Wegbreit shares both: The mitzvah of lechem mishneh (the double portion of manna that fell from heaven to the Jews for Shabbos) – and how we can remember that miracle that occurred every day for 40 years by pausing and thinking about that beautiful continuous miracle. And, the mitzvah from Parashat Yitro of sanctifying Shabbos through the Jews partnering with that day of the week. How do we “sanctify” something? We distinguish that day from other days. Just like we sanctify our wife in marriage (by distinguishing her from everyone else). Treating her special – treating Shabbos special!
