Double Feature Monday – Rabbi Kessin and Rabbi Breitowitz

Both these two videos teach us some concepts of the Jewish peoples’ root from a spiritual and practical perspective. We can see how these are actualized in the current events or our time. It’s amazing how things come full circle after literally thousands of years.

Weekly Hashkafa Shiur #69 | The Structure of the Neshama [AUDIO] (Rabbi Kessin):

Weekly Hashkafa Shiur #67 | The Power of a Jew

Rabbi Mendel Kessin – In this Audio shiur (class), Rabbi Kessin details how powerful a Jew is spiritually and the huge responsibility that this implies.

Personal Thoughts – I thought the power of being Jewish was being part of the “chosen people” – being educated, being part of a long line of professional successes, etc. These are great accomplishments but not the reason or goal of being a Jew. According to the Torah and our Sages the ultimate goals are: tikun olam (fixing the World), helping bring G-d’s presence into this World, bringing the World closer to G-d, and infusing the spiritual into the physical. These will help bring about the World and our own personal redemption. Sounds like a big scary goal to say the least but it’s certainly different than what I used to strive for and seems much more important.

Weekly Hashkafa Shiur #66 Sukkot Our Guarantee Into the Future World – AUDIO

Rabbi Mendel Kessin – Shares some very deep and specific information on what the Jewish Holiday of Sukkot means and represents to us today.

Personal Thoughts – Most of the information presented I never really heard before and it really opened my eyes to the true meanings of Sukkot and how interesting it really is. A little late as Sukkot is almost over but still relevant. Loved it – hope you will too!

Weekly Hashkafa Shiur #60 Rosh Hashana The Evaluation of Your Tikun Standing AUDIO

Rabbi Mendel Kessin – Shares some very interesting perspectives on Rosh Hashanah and how we can really take advantage of such a great opportunity we have before us that is happening in just a couple weeks.

Personal Thoughts – I never really heard information like this presented about Rosh Hashanah and it gave me some real interest in learning more. In the recent past Rosh Hashanah always felt more obligation than opportunity. Grateful for the renewed perspective of this audio class.

Weekly Hashkafa Shiur #55 | The End of Time is Now [AUDIO]

Rabbi Mendel Kessin – In this audio shiur, Rabbi Kessin tells us the good news and bad news of our current times and that we are certainly currently in the last stage birth pains of Moshiach.

Personal Thoughts – Some of the content is tough to digest but especially during the Three Weeks the end result will be the Jewish People’s redemption and a new era – exciting times indeed!

The True Power of Speech (Lashon Hara)

Rabbi Mendel Kessin – This video is actually almost 20 years old but the content really gives a very clear picture of why Lashon Hara (Evil Speech) is so destructive to us individually and also collectively as a Jewish people. The benefits of overcoming this insidious disease will help free us. The truth will really set us free!

Personal Thoughts – The video production and presentation is a bit distracting but the concrete clarity of the message was very educational for me. If you can look past those distractions (maybe even best just to listen to the audio only) it was a very good lecture. I’ve listened to some of Rabbi Kessin’s more current lectures and will try to post some in the future.
