Rabbi Daniel Glatstein – Shares about why the very first mitzvah after Har Sinai (Mount Sinai) concerns a slave who wants to stay with his master after his six years of servitude is over. His master puts the slaves ear to the doorpost and puts a hole in his ear. Why? This short video explains it and the overarching importance of what it means to be a slave to a master and to THE MASTER, Hashem.
Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – In this relatively complicated and technical short video Rabbi Orlofsky is able to zoom out and explain how all this is relevant to us today. We tend to walk through life without intention to do damage but through our ignorance we do a lot of damage. This parasha of technical laws helps us uncover knowledge, reduce our ignorance, and do less damage which benefit the World at large.
Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair – In this short video, Rabbi Sinclair shares the Torah’s view on obligations and the absence of it saying anything about rights. This breeds givers instead of takers. If we focus on our obligations our viewpoint individually and as a society would be much different than if we focused on our rights. The Torah in this week’s portion focuses exclusively on our obligations.
Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – Shares about the upcoming weekly Torah parasha called Mishpatim. This parasha talks about Jews being a special distinguished people. In modern times Jews are experience a huge increase in anti-semitism. Rabbi Wegbreit askes what is “good” about this? Because it helps remind us that we are Jewish. Some Jews have forgotten this and now Hashem is reminding us. What we do with that information is now our responsibility.
A great Q&A with Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz with topics that are very relevant to our current times and to those of us that are new to becoming religious. Here are some examples of the questions addressed in the video:
-What is the source for rounded tablets of the ten commandments and why is this concept rejected for the square ones?
-Does a newly religious person (baal teshuva) have to give up certain hobbies? If he doesn’t, should he hide them from his children?
-When is someone who is brain dead considered halachically deceased? And, how does that affect (heart) transplantation.
-How can one appreciate the concept of slavery in the Torah?
