!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?

!Short Clips! Vaeschanan – Shema | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares about the two paragraphs of “Shema Yisroel”. Why are the two paragraphs in two separate weekly parashas? If they are said together shouldn’t they be next to other in the Torah. Listen to this !Short Clip! for the background on why this is.

Tisha B’av – How Could It Be??? (Ep. 247) | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares a very tough message to hear about why we are sitting on the ground mourning the destruction of both Temples…..AGAIN. We are infected with the poison of not caring enough for others to put in the effort and looking for the easy way out. Every Jew needs to hear this mussar and internalize its message not just on Tisha B’Av but regularly throughout the year. Otherwise, we will be sitting on the floor again next year!

!Short Clips! Korach – We Need You! | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky and a Bonus Song by Yerachmiel Begun & The Miami Boys Choir “We Need You”

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares how this weekly parasha (Korach) and how the Leviim had to be completely shaved like an egg and Korach’s wife told him that he was going to be humiliated and be unable to give anymore. This made him upset and caused him to rebel. The more we feel we can do and be useful the more alive we are. Empowermet is the true chinuch!

!Short Clips! Bechukosai – Together | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares about the blessing in this recent weekly Torah portion (Bechukosai) of the ability of the Jews to increase the ratio of our effectiveness against our enemies. From 5 to 100 to 100 to 10,000. The Rabbi explains that this means going from 20% effective to 100% effective. How can we achieve this? By helping and bringing along our fellow Jews to join us in our journey we add to our individual and collective effectiveness against our enemies and towards our wholeness.

Connecting to the Shabbat Prayers – Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares about the difference between the “sameness” of the everyday prayers and even the Jewish Holiday prayers and the uniqueness of the Shabbat prayers. How we travel from the historical Shabbat of the entire Jewish people during the evening prayer to the very present Shabbat of the morning prayer to the Shabbat of the future (redemption) in the afternoon prayer. The journey makes Shabbat prayers uplifting and transformative every week we experience them.

!Short Clips! Shemini – The Job of a Jew | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Shares about the dichotomy of being a Jew – joy and sorrow. This happened in this weeks parasha (Shemini) with the celebration of the opening of the Beis Hamikdash in the desert and the elevation of Aaron to be the Kohen Gadol along with his children to Kohanim. And, the opposite mourning of two of Aaron’s sons died. In modern times, the joy of Shabbat and Simchat Torah and the opposite terror of October 7th.

Pesach – Celebrating Slavery (Ep. 227) and 49 Days of Pesach (Ep. 228)

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Starts a new series on how the days of Pesach parallel the other Jewish Holidays on the calendar using the ATBASH gematria (Jewish numerology). For example, the first day of Pesach is the first Hebrew letter Aleph which corresponds to the last Hebrew letter Taf. Aleph = Pesach, Taf = Tisha B’Av, which both happen to occur on the same day (this year Monday night). There are several other interesting stories and anecdotes strewn throughout as well, including Q&A at the end for current relevant topics (ie. how to exercise self-control).

!Short Clips! Pekudei – More to Learn | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky – Why is the Mishkan here is the story of the book in the Torah of Shemot (Exodus)? We already left Egypt and received the Torah. The holiness of the getting the Torah travels with us throughout our journey until finally resulting the building on the permanent Beis Hamikdash in Jerusalem accompanying us on each stop along the way. Hashem’s presence from the liberation from Egypt and each step along the way are part of the same Exodus and that’s why the Mishkan is in this book of the Torah.
