Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – Shares about the Ten Plagues and what we can take from this to have intention in our mitzvot. When we have intention (kavanah) we acknowledge the source of mitzvot and by carrying out that particular mission we increase our connection with the divine. https://torah-share.com/holidays/klm-how-to-celebrate-chanukah-in-the-midst-of-war-with-rabbi-asher-baruch-wegbreit/
Rabbi Mendel Kessin – Shares how current events are pointing towards identifying Gog and a potential candidate to help usher in the Moshiach ben Yosef. Things are moving quickly in the World today towards resolution.
Hebrew Class – Parshah HaShavua – Vaeira (Rabbi Tomer Yisraelov)
חידושים מרתקים בפרשת וארא – השיעור השבועי של הרב תומר ישראלוב הרב תומר ישראלוב בשיעור מרתק וחידושים מרתקים בפרשת וארא על מכת צפרדע ועל כל מה שקרה במצרים. גם פרשת שבוע שאקטואלית. לומדים קצת על מכת צפרדע. משה בא אל פרעה. במשך שלושה שבועות, לאחר כל מכה, עומד משה ומתרה בפרעה למהר ולהוציא את עם ה’ ממצרים. הפעם הוא מזהירו מפני מכת צפרדעים שיעלו מן היאור. פרעה מתעלם מהאזהרות, ואהרון נוטה את ידו על מימי מצרים. המון של צפרדעים מכסים את מצרים – בבתים, בחדרי השינה ובמיטות, במטבחים ואף בתוך תנורי הבישול. המכשפים מצליחים אומנם גם הם להעלות צפרדעים, אך הפעם הדבר כנראה לא מנחם את פרעה.
השיעור הקבוע של הרב תומר ישראלוב בנושא פרשת השבוע יתקיים כל שבוע ביום חמישי בשעה 21:30 במגני הגליל 50 רחובות בבית הכנסת אוהל ישראל ערבית ב22:00
Rabbi David Kaplan – Explains the partnership between a full time learner and the person who supports him. That partner handles the material to support the spiritual and both share in the reward. This is reflected in the partnership of the two tribes of Yissachar and Zevulun.
Rabbi Daniel Gibber – Shares a good overview of the entire book of the Torah of Shmot (Exodus) which we start reading starting this upcoming Shabbat. The Rabbi brings several personal stories and ideas from a variety of Rabbis on the various aspects that come up over the next several weeks. We can learn so many things about our life today from this as the Torah is not a history book but an instruction book for our lives today. Following proper life instructions gives good results.
Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz – Shares about one the Ten Commandments and its deep meaning and importance not only in general but as to how it relates to the fifth commandment of honoring your parents.
Yoel Gold – Shares an amazing story that emphasizes daily giving. Giving tzedakah as a regular practice regardless of how much you have and how much you give (consistency is key) is the solution to many of life’s everyday problems. The more you give the more you get!
Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares about the previous Weekly Parsha of Vayechi – an interesting tidbit towards the end explaining why Yaakov Avinu “lost” 33 years of his life because of his word exchange with Pharoah (around the 39 minute point of the lecture).
Rabbi Jacobson – Shares about his experience of listening the the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s regular shiurim which were prescient to our current times (particularly the current War in the Land of Israel). The Rebbe shared the three reasons why we are suffering then (60s/70s/80s) and now. At that time the Rebbe was ridiculed including by government figures. Unfortunately, those things have clearly come true and we are suffering for it today. The “moral of the story” is the solution is becoming connected to the Torah and observing the Torah. All the answers were always there and are still there.
Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares about the upcoming Weekly Parsha of Vayigash – from the climatic meeting between Joseph and Yehuda to why Yaakov’s wife Rachel had to have children who became servants. Finally in the end we will see that every single thing was for the best (when we here “Ani Hashem) just like everything with Joseph being banished and imprisoned to the Jewish people going down to Egypt was for the best.
