Rabbi Trugman – Shares he signficance of the number 100 in the weekly parasha we read last Shabbat. The gematria of Lech Lecha is 100, Avraham Avinu was 100 years old when he had his son Yitzchak, and Yitzchak harvested 100 fold from the Land of Israel.
Bringing Hashem into every aspect of your life is the foundation of a life filled with blessing. Every moment with a focus on Hashem is the purpose of creation. Distraction away from this focus is a major source of our personal and collective problems.
Rabbi Trugman – Shares about the concept of the upper waters and lower waters which was discussed in the Holy Zohar (the source book of Kabbalah) and can also be found in the Torah portion we read this upcoming Shabbat (Noach).

Rabbi Sinclair – Shares a powerful story about the age old question of “Where Is God?” and why nobody is looking for him. Now more than ever – we can find Him in the place He has been all along – the map for this journey is the Torah – for Jews and mankind in general. Rabbi Sinclair says at the end of this short video, “Every time you do a mitzvah you light a candle in this dark World and every time you learn Torah you flood the World with light.”
Rabbi Trugman – Shares the numerical equivalent (gematria) of the four species of the upcoming Jewish holiday of Sukkot is equal to the Shma Yisroel prayer. How are these related? In the process of holding these four species together we are uniting Hashem’s name to myself and the World at large.

Charlie Harary – Shares an analogy between what is written in the Torah when Am Yisroel (the Jewish People) left Egypt (the Exodus) and Amalek came to fight them. Moshe Rabbeinu went to the top of the mountain overlooking the fight and when he raised his hands towards heaven the Jews were victorious and when his hands dropped Amalek began to win. This is similar to our current times when Iran send missiles towards Israel the day before Rosh Hashanah which caused the Jewish people to look up towards the heavens, towards Hashem, and not one Jew was killed. As Yom Kippur approaches, the most important teshuva (repentance) we can do is to choose to be on Team Hashem and all that this entails. Choose the winning team!
Rabbi Sinclair – Shares a powerful story from the Holocaust that exemplifies a pasuk from the Avinu Malkeinu prayer we are saying and will say on Yom Kippur. A moving two minute video on the gravity of the time(s) we are in right now.
A video about continually going through tough times without any hope. Nissim Black discussed how this (painful) process is the actual substance that brings the redemption and freedom. The key is never to give up.
Rabbi Sinclair – Shares a pasuk from the prophet Amos – that the “lion roared” – that apparently Am Yisroel wasn’t listening too well to and the past year of suffering woke us up. Will we listen to the lion roar this year? The four letters of lion in Hebrew spell out the following: Elul, Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, and Hoshana Raba. This time around we can use those days to wake up our souls to renew our Jewish heritage (Shabbat, Kashrut, Family Purity, Prayer) for a good New Year!
