Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares some aspects of the Weekly Parsha – Joseph being thrown in the pit by his brothers. Why did the brothers do this? Why are there snakes in the pit? Also, what Joseph’s dreams meant for the brothers and the rest of the family? Listen to the class for the answers. Hashem has a plan.
Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – Shares about the main way to get connected to Hashem is through saying “thank you” aka as gratitude. Chanukah is a lesson in thank you. Mitzvot are a lesson in thank you. Learning and following halachot (Jewish Law) are a lesson in thank you.
Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman – As Chanukah approaches, Rabbi Trugman tells a story about Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach in the late 70’s in Chicago and summary is that each Jew regardless of how religiously observant they are has a cruve of oil that is pure and can unleash each one’s Jewish soul (just like Chanukah of origin). Now is the time to uncover it!
Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi – The purpose of life and why we are different than animals. How Hashem made the World and how all the elements (inanimate, plants, animals, and human beings) comprise us and our eternal role as Jews while other Nations fall by the wayside. Several other topics discussed as well such as intermarriage, Hamas, the U.S., and the sweet end.
Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman – The struggle between Yaakov and Esav in this week’s upcoming parasha (Vayishlach) is a struggle that has been going on throughout the ages including now in recent times. Rabbi Trugman explains the very interesting gematria that Yaakov + Satan = Yisroel. Yaakov (Jacob) plus the Satan (the guardian angel of Esav that Yaakov wrestled with) equals Yisroel (the name the angel in this wrestling event that Yaakov won and subsequently the name Hashem gave later on in the narrative).
Mrs. Ora Goldberg – Shares some powerful aspects of the current Hebrew month (Kislev), the month of Chanukah. Chanukah commemorates the war against the Greeks paralleling our current War. She strongly connects with our damaged emotional surprise of how shocked we are currently at how much many in World hate us, hate the Jews.
Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares some aspects of the Weekly Parsha – basically the days in the life of Yaakov Avinu. His traveling to the Yeshiva of Shem and Ever, his running away from his twin brother Esav, and his dream of the ladder. How do these events forshadow the lives of the Jewish people and what can we learn from them today?
