The Man Who Changed My Life – Remembering Rabbi Meyer Fendel (Ep. 263) | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares his experience about Rabbi Meyer Fendel and the effect he had on the Rav and his family. This video personally hits home to a conservative Judaism upbringing in the 70s and 80s and how it’s long term affects can be felt today. However, the moral of the story of this video are the unsung heroes who made sacrifices to do Hashem’s work and the tremendous effects in counteracting which can be felt only today decades later. Some find their Jewish connection early in life and others later but these heroes saved American Jewry with their unbelievable belief and strength.

How You Can Change The Outcome Of The World Series (Ep. 260) | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – At the end of this video Rabbi Orlofsky shares an amazing lesson from a question from his audience. Do I have to follow what Jewish Law says or take my chances on my own judgment? Listen to what happens to the man on the airplane.

Q&A Question:

Entire Video:

Shares how Rivka Imenu is the epitomy of chesed just like Avraham Avinu – this chesed balances out Yizchak Avinu’s din (judgment) – parallel to how Sarah Imenu’s din balances out Avraham Avinu’s chesed. The story of Rivka is one of the main examples of chesed in the Torah. Tzedakah can only be done to a poor person (not a rich person who doesn’t need it) but chesed can be done to everyone. Doing chesed is bringing Hashem’s name and presence in the World – something we can all do and make the World a better place.

!Short Clip! Vayera – Funny Or Not | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares in this video how Yitzchak Avinu represents how din (judgement) can live in this World (which was the ideal state of the World but we couldn’t survive it in our current state so Hashem infused his rachamim (chesed) so we could survive). And, since that is unexpected he is named Yitzcack (laughter).

Yom Kippur – Be Like King David (Ep. 255) | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares some important tips for the upcoming Yom Kippur including previous teshuva situations of our previous Jewish kings (King Saul and King David) and their constrasting reaction when being notified by a prophet that they have done wrong. As mentioned in one of Rabbi Orlofsky’s previous classes, the most important step in doing teshuva is to admit that we have done wrong and need to improve. This is very relevant for Yom Kippur and will open the door for it to be more meaningful and impactful.

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares the teshuva is not hard – it just takes the step of recognizing that we have to do it and the rest comes easy.

This is an important five minute video to watch before the upcoming Chagim.

!Short Clips! Shoftim – Galloping Horses | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares about the description of the fight Am Yisroel (the Jewish people) when we will enter the Land of Israel for the first time and to not be afraid. Rabbi Orlofsky explains that this parallels our fight internally with the Yetzer Hara (our evil inclination) and the four steps we go through in this journey of the fight. The morale of the story is the only way to be successful in these fights – both the fight in the Land of Israel and our internal fight with the Yetzer Hara is with Hashem’s help. Furthermore, as we embark on the Hebrew month of Elul leading up to Rosh Hashana (the Day of Judgement of the World for both Jews and Non-Jews alike) which embodies doing teshuva (repentance) with Hashem’s help only to be ultimately successful and be written for a positive year to come.

!Short Clips! Re’eh – It’s About The Destination | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares about the Mishkan at Shilo and its relation to the name of this parasha (Re’eh) which it discusses the status of forshadowing the event of Shiloh. The concept is the goal or destination (the Beis Hamikdash) that we can “see” in the distance has steps to go through first to get there. Those steps are part of the process of building the Beis Hamikdah. We are also now a part of the process of building the Third Temple – can we see (Re’eh) the goal/destination in the distance and the steps to get there?
