Shelach – Growing Through Numbers

Rabbi Trugman – Shares with us about the weekly Torah portion and the sin of the spies who spoke harshly about the Land of Israel and we can avoid the same sin today.

Personal Thoughts – As the Rabbi said, there are so many people in the World speaking badly about Israel today – my simple goal is not to join them by learning from the sin of spies.

Vayakel/Pekudei – Growing Through Exodus

Rabbi Trugman – Shares with us the best way on how we can open our heart to G-d.

Personal Thoughts – These Torah Portions starting now and continuing for the next several weeks tend to be a bit of a letdown from the stories of Genesis and Exodus. Rabbi Trugman’s gave me some good new perspective on how to approach them in a more holistic and constructive manner.

Growing through Exodus – Ki Tisa

Rabbi Trugman – Shares with us what the goals of prayer and learning are – connecting to Hashem.

Personal Thoughts – Rabbi Trugman makes a very valid point that we sometimes lose the forest from the trees when engaging in mitzvot and prayer and miss the whole point entirely which is to get close to the One who gave them to us.

Purim Sameach and Shabbat Shalom!

Rabbi Trugman (Pre-Purim Class Gal Einai Students) – Shares with us some interesting details about Purim.

Personal Thoughts – I liked the analogy/comparison of the Purim “characters” with the “characters” of the Garden of Eden at the very beginning of the Torah in Berashit.
