Q&A: Eliyahu Hanavi, Exile & The Holocaust (HaRav Yitzchak Breitowitz)

Rabbi Breitowitz – Interesting Q&A sessions including answering questions like:

What is Karet (excision of the soul)? Including the machloket (disagreement) about what it actually means. (time stamp 31:55)

What does it mean Derech Eretz Kadma L’Torah? (common decency before the Torah). It might be different than one might think. (time stamp 1:06:35)

Do we encourage people to convert who have a lot of opposition from their family? This also includes a Jew who is becoming more religious in opposition to their family. There are important sensitivities involved. (time stamp 1:19:11)

Did the holocaust lead to the State of Israel? (time stamp 1:27:20)

Moshiach

Balaam and Moshiach (Parshas Balak) (HaRav Yitzchak Breitowitz)

Rabbi Breitowitz – Shares a very interesting connection between Balaam and Moshiach and additional facts related to Moshiach as it relates to Bar Kochba and false messiahs as well. There is a potential Moshiach in every generation but so far we have not been worthy of it manifesting.

Torah Learning

Introduction to Learning Tanach (HaRav Yitzchak Breitowitz)

Rabbi Breitowitz – Shares some basics about the structure of the Tanach which comprises the entire Bible (Chumash – Five Books of Moses, Prophets, Writings, and Megillot). Very interesting to get a big picture of that structure and some background on why some parts, until just recently, were not learned widely in the yeshiva world for many years.

Jewish Holidays

Shavuos and Freedom (HaRav Yitzchak Breitowitz)

Rabbi Breitowitz – Shares how Pesach to Shavuot (through the process of the Omer) is not freedom from something (to do whatever we want) but freedom to something (the freedom to choose). This is analagous to the barley offering on the first day of the Omer (which is animal food) to the wheat offering on Shavuot (which is human good). Do we want to be freedom to be whatever we want (to be an animal) or freedom to serve (to be a human)? The process of refinement (the counting of the Omer for 49 days) helps us make that journey from animal to human culminating with the giving on the Torah on Shavuot (the ultimate human endeavor as a Jew).
