Rabbi Moshe Pinto Shlita – Short video (around ~8 minutes) about what was unique of Yosef’s interpretation of Pharoe’s dream even though he was basically giving him the same interpretation as others did. Was it his presentation? Was it something intangible? Was it more dramatic? The answer Rav Pinto gives is pretty simple. Watch the video to find out.
Speech Brings One to Humility – Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – Shares the power of speech and how it connects us to Shamaim (Heaven). Speech is the way to bridge this World to the next World. Also interesting story about the only disease that is discussed in the entire Torah is Tzoris (loosely translated as leprosy) which is caused by gossip (speech).
Newsletter – Rabbi Kalmus’s organization, Tzion Breslov Project, also started a newsletter that comes out before Shabbat – you can sign up for that free here as well:
Our Environment Has An Affect On Us! – Rabbi Moshe Pinto – Shares with us how the story of Yosef Hatzadik and Yaakov Avinu teaches us how our environment affects us greatly even in our intentions are pure and we were not blameful for our actions. This stresses how important it is to always be in a positive clean environment that builds and doesn’t destroy.
Rabbi Moshe Pinto Shlita – Shares some really deep chassidic teachings centered around our forefather Yaakov (Jacob) Avinu and how he infused the World to come in this World. Rabbi Pinto shares the story about Yaakov’s ladder dream and resting his head on the stone(s) and how he actually infused his life and brought up the life of the stones (very esoteric information).
Rabbi Moshe Pinto Shlita – Miracles and Kindness and Strength. Three ways of the mechanics of how miracles can occur according to Jewish traditions and the approach to kindness and sacrifice that our Forefathers Avraham Avinu and Yitzchak Avinue and Foremother Sarah Imenu showed us.
Here is an written exerpt from one of the videos (paraphrased from the words of Rabbi Pinto):
What is a miracle? In the Zohar Hakadosh Hashem created the World He created malachim (angels) that represent laws of nature (angel of the sun, angel of the water, etc). The angel also protects the laws of nature that Hashem installed with that specific creation. The Zohar Hakadosh says a miracle is in and of its essence something above nature. In order for Hashem to create a miracle He needs to create a shift of nature for that miracle to happen. Many kabbalists say there are two ways to create a miracle.
Feel free to watch the first video (“The cost of a miracle!”) at timestamp 3:40 to find out how Rabbi Pinto explains those two ways. Very interesting stuff!
Rabbi Moshe Pinto Shlita – This is being posted a couple days after Pesach Sheni but the message is still relevant about second chances – it is never too late!

Personal Thoughts – Last year I didn’t find this video until after Pesach so I saved it for this year and grateful to share it with everyone pre-Pesach.
