Rabbi Mendel Kessin – Shares about the root learnings of the upcoming Purim holiday – the meaning behind all the mitzvot and also the significance of this specific Purim: it being a three day holiday, on a lunar eclipse, and on a blood moon.
Rabbi Breitowitz – In the first few seven minutes of this video, the Rabbi shares how important honesty is in business to being a religious Jew – so much so that our Sages say that is the very first question Hashem will ask us when we pass on. Why is this the first question, why is it so important, and how is it related to our life today? There are five additional questions we will also be asked – watch the video to hear what they are.
Rabbi Trugman – Shares some interested insights of the Tanach book Shmuel. It also included the first Israel king (Shaul) and his initial interactions with Shmuel. Very interesting beginning of how Jewish Kingship started.
Rabbi Avi Wiesenfeld – The foundation core of all future human development is the habit of being proactive. Rabbi Wiesenfeld discusses the different between being proactive (being responsible for my reactions – the ability to respond) vs reactive (being controlled). Every person has a choice how we react.
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.

Rabbi Pinto – Shares some of the processes that we will be able to see as the geula (redemption) approaches and even how current technological advancements are merging and consistent with this and not contradictory.
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.

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares about the Torah view about how to find a job and the underlying reasons behind why. This information is really practical and has been presented in various forms across career sources but the emphasis on Torah values and Torah goals really adds to its relevance and validity more so than other sources. Why am I here? What is my purpose? Who am I? The focus on the career purpose as the means and not the end. So what are the ends? Listen and find out.
