A Fish on Land – Nitzavim (Rabbi Dovid Kaplan) (Weekly Parsha)

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).

Pre Rosh Hashanah Shiur – on “Becoming Real” by Rabbi Dr Akiva Tatz

Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz – Shares a very interesting perspective on focusing this Rosh Hashana on the concept of “Who Am I?” as a person overall as opposed to nitpicking each and every detail. Am I moving closer to accomplishing my mission in this lifetime and how can I keep moving in the right direction? Dramatically different way to look at Rosh Hashana.

!Shabbat Shalom! Why No Mention of World to Come (I) by Rabbi Dr Akiva Tatz

Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz – Shares several interesting concepts as it pertains what the Torah actually does not say about the World to Come and what that means for us practically speaking in this World. Including interesting perspective of the Rambam and how what it states in the Torah about reward is actually expenses and not the reward for our deeds. Also, nice story about the Chofetz Chaim. A large portion of this class sources parts of this week’s upcoming Torah portion (Ki Savo).

Fascinating Snippets:

Everything is the higher World has its reflection here in the lower World. For example, the caterpillar and the butterfly showing us the transition from this World to the World to come: https://www.youtube.com/embed/FBlQ5CnktrA?start=990&autoplay=1

Torah of Abraham,Torah of Shem & Ever by Rabbi Dr Akiva Tatz

Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz – Shares the difference between the Torah of our Forefather, Abraham and the Torah of Shem & Ever. How we unite and uplift the physical to the spiritual as opposed to separate them as in many other religions. We focus on elevating mundane small tasks and make them spiritual and service to Hashem.
