Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares about this week’s upcoming Torah reading on Shabbat. The Rabbi explains what Lech Lecha means – 1. To move signifying how Jews during our history are always on the move in exile. 2. Lech (lich luch) means dirt – that Jews should always move away from dirt of the secular life we are surrounded by. 3. Lech – that Jews should constantly grow in our observance, grow on in our relationship with Hashem.

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares in the two videos for this week’s upcoming Torah reading (Ki Savo). This Torah portion has so many elements of deep interest and has a blueprint for proper behavior and midot (character traits). Talking the talk is not Judaism – it’s taking what we learned into action to service others and fix the (broken) World.

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares some interesting “coincidental” word codes in the weekly parasha (Shoftim) and what we can learn from it and in the second !Short Clip! video some helpful tips on successful parenting that we learn from the Torah – the story of Yaakov Avinu and his grandchildren Menashe and Ephraim. The Torah teaches that the way we act and teach is to avoid embarrassing others even a little bit. If the current World could learn from avoiding embarrassing others it would certainly be a better place.

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares at time point 27:40 a very interesting Medrish derived from losing sleep from various issues which further develops the concept of how we can determine to course of our suffering throughout the year. We are not able to determine the amount of suffering (which is set on Rosh Hashanah) but we are able to guide the type of suffering through exchange. This concept is explained by the Steipler.

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares that prayer works – not just figuratively but tangibly – which is sourced in a comment by Rashi at the very beginning of the Torah when Adam prayed for rain so the foliage would grow. This is why Hashem gave a mitzvah to Moshe Rabbeinu to not prayer anymore to go into Eretz Yisroel – because it works because Hashem says it works.

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares about the story of Rabbi Akiva crying when reading parts of this weeks’ upcoming (double) parashot. Rabbi Akiva cried because he foresaw his upcoming suffering when he was killed as one of the ten martyrs in the story about a woman breaking her vow that was annulled by her husband signalling inadvertent sins still require teshuva. This implied the rebuke from the Roman Ceasar who said that the ten matyrs required to be punished for the ten brothers (sons of Yaakov Avinu) selling Yosef into Egyptian slavery which although it turned out good the intention was not good.

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares some interesting points in this week’s weekly parasha:
The way a person wants to go do good Hashem will help you, when he wants to take a bad path Hashem doesn’t prevent him from doing so
Bilaam was eager to go against Hashem’s will by cursing the Jewish people while our ancestor Avraham Avinu was eager to to do Hashem’s will. Both got up early and saddled their own donkey – but for diametrically different reasons.

Rabbi David Kaplan – In these two videos for this week’s upcoming Torah portion that we read on Shabbat, Rabbi Kaplan shares some of the details of the spies and their motivation when going into the Land of Israel. The second video focuses a lot of the Giants of the Land and the fear it instilled in the spies. However, all of these events had major back stories which negatively influenced the Jew’s view on entering the Land with unfortunate consequences. How can we learn lessons today to prevent their recurrence?
