Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – Rabbi Wegbreit shares how we can get the most of our Passover seder this year with just simple thoughts. Simple to do but not easy without intention to do it. Add kavanah (intentional thought) to the mitzvot of the Seder night and having a spiritual experience as a result.
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?

This Rabbi in this !Short Clip” shares that the Alter Rebbe (the founder of Chabad chasidus) tells us in the Tanya that everything we do really does matter and we can change all of existing with one difference in our actions – this can be viewed as scary or empowering (or both):
Rabbi Mendel Kessin shares how the “irrationality” of Hashem during Akeida Yitzchak (the Binding of Isaac) towards Avraham Avinu is the shield the Jews have had since then from all the sins. Our loyalty to Hashem as Jews exemplified by Avraham Avinu is with us even today.
In this shiur by Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz on the weekly parasha show all aspects of the splitting of the sea and how we can relate in directly to modern times. There are a lot of parallels that we can learning from.

Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz: Greek Beauty – A Chanukah Questions and Jewish Beauty
Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – Continues sharing how to increase our kavanah (spiritual intent) when doing mitzvot. He elaborates about the biggest obstacle to having kavanah (which presents us from a connection with Hashem) is rushing – this rushing tends to take us out of the present and into the future. Hashem is right here right now so by rushing we are “leaving” where Hashem is. Only by taking our time and having a settled mind can we capture that elusive kavanah. Much more content is in the video class.
Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – Helps us get the most out of the Hebrew month of Elul – which is the spiritual preparatory month leading up to Rosh Hashana. We can do this by increasing our Ahavas Hashem (our love for Hashem). Watch the video to learn some of the exercises Rabbi Wegbreit shares that can help us get there.
Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – Shows us the benefit of having kavanah (intent) when doing the mitzvot. This topic is important especially during the current month Elul leading up to Rosh Hashanah. Rabbi Wegbreit first gives a background of the Rav’s path to realize the importance of kavanah in not only prayer but other mitzvot as well. “Pick one mitzvah to have kavanah for…” is the suggestion to make a life change.
