Yahrzeit – 5 Adar I 5784 (ה׳ בַּאֲדָר א׳ תשפ״ד) – Mrs. Rhoda Golden – רחל בת ניסן ז”ל

Today is the Yahrzeit of my Aunt (Mrs. Rhoda Golden – רחל בת ניסן ז”ל) who was niftara (passed on) one year ago today according to the Hebrew calendar. May her neshama have an aliyah (לעילוי נשמת).

Personal Thoughts – My Aunt was a kind and gentle soul who in the 53 years I knew her never saw her to become angry with me or anyone else for that matter. This is a very high midah (character trait) that is almost unheard of. In the process over the past year of saying kaddish for her everyday in Shul (the Synagogue) I got to develop an even deeper relationship with her, spiritually speaking. Hoping her neshama has an aliyah (her spirit reaches greater heights in gan eden (heaven)).

It is suggested by our Sages to learn some Torah in her honor on her yahrtzeit as this elevates the soul of the deceased. You can find many opportunities to read or watch a video here on www.torah-Share.com or many other websites on the Internet such as www.chabad.org or www.aish.com.

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

Weekly Hashkafa Shiur #67 | The Power of a Jew

Rabbi Mendel Kessin – In this Audio shiur (class), Rabbi Kessin details how powerful a Jew is spiritually and the huge responsibility that this implies.

Personal Thoughts – I thought the power of being Jewish was being part of the “chosen people” – being educated, being part of a long line of professional successes, etc. These are great accomplishments but not the reason or goal of being a Jew. According to the Torah and our Sages the ultimate goals are: tikun olam (fixing the World), helping bring G-d’s presence into this World, bringing the World closer to G-d, and infusing the spiritual into the physical. These will help bring about the World and our own personal redemption. Sounds like a big scary goal to say the least but it’s certainly different than what I used to strive for and seems much more important.
