Growing through Leviticus – Acharei Mot/Kedoshim

Rabbi Trugman – Shares with us about the weekly (double) Torah portion (Acharei Mot/Kedoshim).

Personal Thoughts – Interesting that the Hebrew word for Jewish Law is called “Halachah” which means “the way forward” and the book of Jewish Law is called the “Shulchan Aruch” which means “the set table”. Just two examples of the deeper (dual) meanings of common words in Judaism.

Tazriah/Metzorah – Growing Through Leviticus

Rabbi Trugman – Shares with that we can overcome and change through growth because Hashem gave us the ability to do so through (for example by counting the Omer – “Make Our Time Count”).

Personal Thoughts – Current event messages are a wake up call – parallel to the weekly parasha.

Vayechi – Growing Through Genesis

Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman – Through this weeks parsha we learn many spiritual concepts through the blessing Yaakov gives Ephraim and Menashe, including the Sefirot (common term in Kabalah) and enclothment.

Personal Thoughts – The video started off slow for me but it was just the setup for some very deep spiritual concepts. In the last 1/3 of the lecture the Rabbi talks about the concept of enclothment which was very enlightening and certainly shed some light for me about why the World is the way it is. Hope you get a lot out of it.

Vayigash – Growing Through Genesis

Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman – shares with us how this week’s Torah portion gives us a great example of the emotions (ie. crying) of Joseph and also relating how some of our great Jewish historical figures, like King David and Rachel Imenu, outwardly expressed their emotions.

Personal Thoughts – It’s amazing how we sometimes hold back our emotions when some of the greatest Jews in history outwardly expressed their emotions and it’s written in the Torah, Prophets, and Writings for all to see for thousands of years. Motivates me to really get in touch with my emotions and be like my forefathers/mothers.
