We Will We Will Rock You – Chukas (Rabbi Dovid Kaplan) (Weekly Parsha)

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares about this past week’s Parsha (Chukas) and why the Torah makes such a difference between what Hashem wanted Moshe Rabbeinu to do to bring water from the rock (speak to it) vs the action Moshe Rabbeinu did to bring water from the rock (hit the rock twice). Why was this difference so important that afterwards Hashem told him he would not enter the land of Israel with the Jewish people? Rabbi Kaplan explains all the reasons in the video.

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares about the weekly Parsha (Shemos) including when Moshe Rabbeinu at the burning bush which teaches us today on how to be flexible on our approach to life if new information comes along that can cause us to change directions for the better.

I Wish I Was a Fish – Vayechi (Rabbi Dovid Kaplan) (Weekly Parsha)

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares how the sons of Joseph (Manaseh and Ephraim) actions teach us the proper brotherly love without the need for jealousy and also how as parents we go to where our kids are at instead of insisting they come to we are.

A Comedy of Errors and Nothing Is Random – Vayeishev (Rabbi Dovid Kaplan) (Weekly Parsha)

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares some lessons of this week’s upcoming Torah reading including: So many “bad” events happened to Joseph during the reading but in the end Hashem had him elevated to be King of Egypt to save the Jewish people.

The Heavenly Yeshiva – Vayeitzei (Rabbi Dovid Kaplan) (Weekly Parsha)

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares some lessons we can learn from this week’s Torah portion (Vayeitzei) including specifically about how to act as a Baal Teshuva around others by not overdoing it and speaking in code. Instead, to just act like a normal human being (aka being a mensch). Too often, newly religious create argument and arose too much attention by forcefully showing others how religious they are. Most things are best left unsaid and improvement within without bragging. Many of these lessons are derived from how our Forefather, Yaakov Avinu, carried himself in this parasha and throughout his life.
