Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares some aspects of the Weekly Parsha – Joseph being thrown in the pit by his brothers. Why did the brothers do this? Why are there snakes in the pit? Also, what Joseph’s dreams meant for the brothers and the rest of the family? Listen to the class for the answers. Hashem has a plan.
Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman – The struggle between Yaakov and Esav in this week’s upcoming parasha (Vayishlach) is a struggle that has been going on throughout the ages including now in recent times. Rabbi Trugman explains the very interesting gematria that Yaakov + Satan = Yisroel. Yaakov (Jacob) plus the Satan (the guardian angel of Esav that Yaakov wrestled with) equals Yisroel (the name the angel in this wrestling event that Yaakov won and subsequently the name Hashem gave later on in the narrative).
Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares some aspects of the Weekly Parsha – basically the days in the life of Yaakov Avinu. His traveling to the Yeshiva of Shem and Ever, his running away from his twin brother Esav, and his dream of the ladder. How do these events forshadow the lives of the Jewish people and what can we learn from them today?

Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman – The upcoming stories of Yaakov (Jacob) with his dream and also his sheep breeding plan with his father-in-law (Lavan) and how he uses spiritual concepts to manifest in the physical. This is a model to how when we do mitzvot (physical or through speech) and those mitzvot then infuse the spiritual.

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares some aspects of the Weekly Parsha we just read (Toldos). One interesting topic was the name Esav (who was Yaakov’s twin brother) – his name means complete – meaning he felt he was complete and had nothing else to learn a complete human being. This is opposite Yaakov (and the Jewish way) that says we are not complete that there is always room to continue to grow throughout our life. Two different perspectives to teach us today.

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares the daily question of choosing life and planning on doing mitzvot resulting in a happy fufilled life. Do the job consistently and do YOUR job (not someone else’s job). Also, find the answer of what is better to give $1,000 tzedaka to one person or $1 tzedaka to 1,000 people. Hint – who is the mitzvah for – for the receiver or the giver (therein lies the answer).
Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares a simple message (towards the latter part of the lecture) that focusing on doing the right thing will eventually catch up with you. What’s the right thing? The answers are in the Torah. Such a simple and strong message.
