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.

Rabbi Moshe Pinto – Shares with us the importance of tzniut (modesty or hiddeness) and it being the basis for bracha (blessing) in our lives individually and collectively as Jews. It is evident in many areas in our history including our tremendous population growth in Egypt from 70 soul to millions and the story of Bilam trying to curse but only being able to bless. Both are examples of the power of tzniut. Today we can experience this bracha most strongly on Shabbat. Listen to video to see how.

Shulchan Aruch, Dinei Birkas haTorah 47:1 – Laws Relating to the Blessings for Torah Study, Part 1
Rabbi Avraham Meyer Zajac – The Rabbi explains why the Alter Rebbe insisted that we be very careful how we properly say the blessings before we start learning Torah. The reason is it was one of the reasons the Jews were driven into exile after the destruction of the 2nd Temple. How does this even make sense? He further says – the source of this is in the Talmud that it is as if Hashem Himself explained it directly to those learning his Torah. Chassidus explains that Torah is G-dliness en-clothed in words. It’s not that we didn’t learn Torah it’s that we didn’t keep it on the front of our mind that we are learning Hashem’s words and connecting with His very essence when we learn Torah.

Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi – The first hour of this shiur (class) is packed with very helpful information of the blessings and prayers we say everyday and the actual sources in the beginning part of the Torah in Breisheit (Genesis).
Personal Thoughts – I have really been enjoying Rabbi Mizrachi’s shiurim (classes) on Breisheit (Genesis) and the vast knowledge the Rabbi brings to how it is really intertwined to my daily life.

Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – Shares with us that how think is just as important as how we thank Hashem. Our intention amplifies the action for more “bang for your buck”.
Added Bonus from the class – special link to “THANK YOU HASHEM” song video:
Personal Thoughts – Having an attitude of gratitude is the antedote to stinking thinking.

Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – tells us how we can have deep kavanah (intention) when reading Psalms (Tehillim) particularly for healing to those that are currently sick. Also all the mitzvot we are fulfilling when we do this.
Personal Thoughts – This taught me the importance of having kavanah (intention) when doing the various mitzvot and a step by step approach how to do this. It is difficult to not do mitzvot out of habit but to overcome this at least some of the time can greatly increase my spirituality and closeness to Hashem. Work in progress here!

KLM Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – shows us that there are nine mitzvot from the Torah for just the bracha (blessing) over a glass of water and the drinking of the water combined.
Personal Thoughts – The Rabbi gave me an opportunity to connect with Hashem in nine different ways over a simple glass of water. Just concentrating on all that keeps me so busy thinking about the good that it helps push away all the negativity. Try it for yourself! (Note: This video might be a little heavy for the uninitiated – the way I approach it is when viewing a video a little beyond where I’m currently holding religiously is just try to get one beneficial concept out of it – like I mentioned in the about section on this blog (http://torah-share.com/about/) – “take what you want and leave the rest” – hope this helps!)
