Shavuos and Freedom (HaRav Yitzchak Breitowitz)

Post author By Admin
Post date May 20, 2024

Rabbi Breitowitz – Shares how Pesach to Shavuot (through the process of the Omer) is not freedom from something (to do whatever we want) but freedom to something (the freedom to choose). This is analagous to the barley offering on the first day of the Omer (which is animal food) to the wheat offering on Shavuot (which is human good). Do we want to be freedom to be whatever we want (to be an animal) or freedom to serve (to be a human)? The process of refinement (the counting of the Omer for 49 days) helps us make that journey from animal to human culminating with the giving on the Torah on Shavuot (the ultimate human endeavor as a Jew).

The second you give up that’s when you lose – Parashat Beha’alotecha

Rabbi Alon Anava – Brings back the topic of Pesach Sheni which we actually had on the Jewish calendar over a month ago but is brought up again in this week’s Torah Portion. Why is there a second chance for the holiday of Pesach (Passover) specifically? Why are there no second chances for other Jewish holidays? What is so special about Pesach that it “requires” a second chance? Why are we talking about this now (isn’t it too late)? Why is this related to Brit Milah (circumcision)? Listen to the calls by Rabbi Anava to learn the answers to these questions.

Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz – Double Feature 1

Post author By Admin
Post date May 11, 2022

The Period of the Omer and Love Your Neighbor as Yourself – Rabbi Breitowitz shares how the current Omer counting period has both a positive and negative perspective. The positive is the joyous period between leaving slavery (Pesach) and receiving the Torah (Shavuot). The negative is 24,000 students of the great sage, Rabbi Akiva, dies during this period of time – which makes the Omer a time of mourning. The ultimate goal of this mourning is to rectify the character trait of not giving kavod to others (“love your neighbor as yourself”). Watch the video to get filled in on all the details in between.

The first video focuses on a commonly discussed topic, Tzedaka (Charity). It’s always good to get several different viewpoints to learn the various aspects of this important mitzvah.

The second video focuses on the Sfira (the current daily counting period we are currently in between Pesach and Shavuot) and what the Jews are trying to rectify during this time period.
