What Does the 12th of Tammuz Mean To Us?

“Self-Sacrifice in our Lives”

“…What is the Rebbe’s message? What is the life of a Jew and a Chassid? Quite simply: what matters in my life is Judaism, Torah and Mitzvot, Ahavat Yisrael, chesed, mivtzaim (outreach) – that’s my life. What about making a living? That’s also important, but my life is Judaism. Evidently, this is a test for perhaps all of us.

And this is what the 12th of Tammuz means to us. We have to find self-sacrifice within ourselves, caring first and foremost about Judaism…”

“adapted from Bet Moshiach, full transcript of farbrengen at beismoshiach.org”

When is jealousy good for you? – Parashat Korach – Rabbi Alon Anava

Rabbi Alon Anava – Shares how jealousy can be a good thing if its for the right reason and the right motivation. The Rabbi also explains when it is bad (like in the case of Korach) and actually deprives us of our special uniqueness given to us by Hashem. This uniqueness is our gift and our life mission – we need it to complete why we are here on this Earth and being jealous of others’ tools for their missions is certainly counter-productive to our life goals.

Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz – Orwell’s 1984 and Korach’s Rebellion and Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman – The Book of Numbers – Parshat Korach

Both these videos focus on this week’s upcoming Torah parashah (in Eretz Yisroel) of Korach. They both explain the details of how after all the witnessed miracles and the level of righteousness of the people involved can an actual rebellion take place. The journey from that to this is almost unbelievable and the details involved that help make sense of this is quite interesting.

Healing the Leper and Getting Rid of our Chametz
(Tazria) – Shabbat Shalom!

Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz – Information packed class on the upcoming weekly parasha (Tazria) that we read this Shabbat. The depth the Torah goes to explain the main topic of this parasha (tzaarat – loosely translated as leprosy) is unlike any other topic in the whole Torah. Rabbi Breitowitz points out that our perception is the Torah focuses more effort on explaining Shabbat or other common topics than the topic of tzaarat, but in truth the details of this topic are much more explained. The Rabbi explains why in the video (and it somewhat is somewhat being portrayed in parallel in current times with how we are dealing with Corona). Shabbat Shalom!

No one is asking your opinion – Parashat Shemini

Rabbi Alon Anava – Reflecting on one part of this week’s parasha (Shemini) of Aaron Hakohen’s (the High Priest) two sons who died right after the dedication of the Mishkan (Tabernacle), Rabbi Anava gives one of the reasons given by our Sages as to why this happened in the midst of such a celebratory time in our Nation’s history. It takes some patience until the end of the lecture to get the entire point of lecture. Also, Shemini is of particular importance to me as it’s my bar mitzvah parasha (which feels out of place data wise due to this year being a shana mehuberet (Jewish leap year) as Shemini is about a month earlier than usual).
