!Short Clips! Pekudei – Controlling Time | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares about this coming extra parshiot (called Hachodesh) that we read on an additional sefer Torah this upcoming Shabbat along with the parasha of the week. Why do we read this extra “months”? This signifies how this upcoming month (Nissan) signifies how the Jewish people were created to be above time (outside of time) unlike other nations who are within time and controlled by it.

!Short Clip! Terumah – Opportunity To Do Good | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Explains why the Aron (where the luchos – ten commandments were kept) was made of wood covered in gold and not solid gold. The Jews had enough money to make it solid gold like the menorah and it was the holiest of objects. Even if was heavy it could still carry itself like it did when necessary. It was so we can participate and carry the Aron not because it needs us – just like we can participate in Torah. Torah will continue without us, the Jewish people will continue without us – but we benefit and need to participate to keep us going.

Beyond The Resume – How To Choose A Job (Ep. 271) | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares about the Torah view about how to find a job and the underlying reasons behind why.

The True Meaning Of Tu B’shvat (Ep. 270) | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares the underlying meanings of the “minor” holiday of Tu B’shvat. This includes the concept of it being the new year of the tries (parallel to how Rosh Hashanah is the new year of the World). Every year on Rosh Hashanah Hashem determines whether the World deserves another turn by it’s content and future promise of mitzvot and fulfilling Hashem’s plan. Similarly, trees represent the potential of it’s upcoming fruit ensuring it’s survival to bear that fruit.

Overthinking vs Underthinking (Ep. 266) | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares two important concepts: The first about the issue yeshios (which is asking for miracles). The Rabbi concludes its important not to ask for life changing miracles unless it is life or death issue since our ability to ask for these things is limited. The second is in the Q&A towards the end about the sin of Adam Harishon and how the yetzer hara (the snake) had to convince him to sin with a intellectual argument that it’s best to sin and then repent.

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.

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:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqMjfjwJfEw

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.
