Rabbi Avraham Meyer Zajac !Short Clips!

Shulchan Aruch, Din Makom Hara’oy L’hispalel v’Holeich BaDerech

In these three short videos, Rabbi Zajac explains one’s conduct in Shul (the Synagogue) both inside, on the way to, and/or when one is exempt from. It’s helpful to learn the sources of a lot of what we observe others do in and around shul attendance and to understand that those (sometimes “strange”) behaviors have sources that are based on spiritual foundations.

Why to pray in Shul specifically:

Q&A !Short Clip! – Why is there not more focus on tefilla in Yeshivas as we approach Mashiach times or otherwise?

Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz – Interesting discussion on why tefilla (prayer) is not emphasized in Yeshivas and why its sometimes viewed as a burden or inconvenience, instead of its primary importance as a life changing endeavor.

Start Praying Before Difficulty

Rabbi Yaakov Altman – Shares with us a perspective I haven’t heard framed in quite this was – pre-emptive praying. Like the phrase an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure – Rabbi Altman uses this in a spiritual sense (prayer). Worth a listen to hear this unique view.

Monday Double Feature – Rabbi David Kalmus – and building fences on YouTube

These two videos – one last week via Zoom only and yesterday’s video via live class in Jerusalem. The first one talks about the importance of speaking out our prayers loudly to better help our prayers come into actual fruition. The second video focuses on the power of our ratzon (our will) – the more we want something the greater chance we have to manifest it in our lives. Hope you enjoy them!

One of the above videos discusses the need to build fences to protect us from outside influences. One of those is protecting our eyes from immodesty when watching YouTube videos. To circumvent this I did some research on Google and found the following methodologies to limit what I see when watching YouTube videos and avoid seeing immodest things without my consent. I’ve decided to post it here for those that are interested to help comply with what is referenced by Rabbi Kalmus above. Please note these are not my technical inventions but just stuff I researched on Google (and are public knowledge):

Here is how you can make YouTube a safer place. The key is the ability to go directly to the channels you subscribe to ONLY. Here is how to do it:

For Desktop – make a bookmark using this link:
https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions
120% screen zoom (which blocks out things you don’t want to see)

For Mobile – the app icon you should use:
Long press YouTube and then drag the subscriptions shortcut onto the home screen to make an icon! You can then edit the subscriptions icon to put the icon of the YouTube app.

When Surrounded By Darkness, Only the Truth Can Free You

Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – Shares with us how to use prayer to connect to Hashem and bring down from above what you are praying for into your physical being here. What we get and see here (in the physical) is a direct reflection of above (the spiritual).

Personal Thoughts – I like the Rabbi’s approach to explaining the relationship between physical and spiritual and the mirror between them.

The Answer Is Emunah

Growing through Exodus – Ki Tisa

Rabbi Trugman – Shares with us what the goals of prayer and learning are – connecting to Hashem.

Personal Thoughts – Rabbi Trugman makes a very valid point that we sometimes lose the forest from the trees when engaging in mitzvot and prayer and miss the whole point entirely which is to get close to the One who gave them to us.

Can Prayer Change G-d’s Mind? Yes & No – Philosophy vs. Kabbalah

Rabbi Yitzchak Botton – Shows us the relationship between prayer and repentance (teshuva) and how it can turn us into a new person, a new reality.

Personal Thoughts – The Rabbi shows me some very concrete benefits to prayer and how it can change me for the better so I can become the vessel for more blessing and what part I play in the process.

Pay Attention to What You See

Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – shares how prayer is the answer to all our problems, that your soul has no limit, how the negative forces try to keep you off your game all the time, and how you can use subterfuge to offset those forces and connect to Hashem.

Personal Thoughts – The last twenty or so minutes of this lecture (during question and answer) is very powerful – it taught me the paradigm shift I need to re-orient my life view towards the good. How do I respond to lacking in the World (and there is a lot these days if you haven’t noticed)…..prayer!
