What No One Told You About Abraham’s Story – Secrets of Kabbalah & Reincarnation (!Short Clip!)

Rabbi Yitzchak Botton – In this short video Rabbi Yitzchak Botton shares a Kabbalistic explanation, based on the teachings of R’ Isaac Luria, of Abraham’s/Avraham’s battle with Nimrod, which ended with him being thrown into a furnace – know as the Furnace of Kasdim. God then made a miracle saving his life. The Secrets behind this unbelievable story are found in the teachings of Kabbalah.

Personal Thoughts – I never knew that Aaron HaKohen (the High Priest) and Hur could have been reincarnations of Avraham Avinu (our Father) and his brother Haran. Very interesting parallels explained in this short clip

Double Feature Monday – Rabbi Trugman and Rabbi Mizrachi

Although these two videos are from the readings at the end of the Torah they still have some relevant ideas we can take into the post Chagim (Jewish Holidays) timeframe. Both present some valuable information to improve ourselves in this New (Jewish) Year. Our Sages emphasize for us to take what we learned during the Chagim (Jewish Holidays) and sprinkle those ideas throughout this upcoming Year so that what we learned is not only internalized but dispersed in practice through higher mitzvah observance and improved Midot (character traits).

Pirkei Avot – Chapter 3

Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi – Shares some really interesting insight and stories about the Pirkei Avot chapter we read this Shabbat. (Each week during the summer months our Rabbis instituted learning chapters of Mishna to fill the extra time we have during the long summer Shabbatot).

Personal Thoughts – Although this lecture took place several years ago the content really brings this Pirkei Avot chapter alive and relevant to everyday life. Sometimes learning these Mishnaot can be somewhat dry but Rabbi Mizrachi brings them alive with his concise explanations and colorful stories.

Close Your Eyes, Awaken Emunah

Emunah (Faith) – Rabbi Dovid Yisroel Kalmus – shares how to find Emunah in the darkness and how Hashem is everywhere but we also have free will (paradox).

Personal Thoughts: Interesting concepts in this video like why do we have more desires for tivahs (bad thoughts/actions – like over-eating, trouble seek behavior) at night as opposed to day. Also, learned how to deal with the paradox of having free will vs. Hashem knowing how everything will turn out and how to avoid getting lost in this spiritually. Deep stuff! Hope you enjoy it.
