Torah ShareRabbi Trugman – Shares with us some deep esoteric wisdom derived from this week’s parasha (Balak) and the protagonist figure in it (Bilaam).
Personal Thoughts – The Rabbi brings some interesting parallels between science and Torah in this short lesson – I particularly liked the analogy of the movie film / time paradox.

Rabbi Zev Leff – As we approach the 17th of Tammuz (which is a fast day) which is the start of the Three Weeks of mourning for the loss of so many things in Judaism most namely the Beit Hamikdash (the Holy Temple in Jerusalem), the Rabbi explains that Torah is meant to be shared to all of Am Yisroel (the Nation of Israel) not only freely but as an obligation. Without sharing half of Judaism is incomplete. Share the love, share the Torah!
Personal Thoughts – Rabbi Leff basically encompassed the entire reason behind why I started this video blog (www.torah-share.com) and expressed it way better than I ever could. Please share!

Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – In the second live class in Eretz Yisroel (in Be’er Sheva) the Rabbi lists off five distinct areas that can initiate a paradigm shift in how we view our life and reality in general to enact an overall better worldview. This can change our mood, our direction, our purpose, and our life!
Personal Thoughts – Really enjoyed the summation of these practical steps to personal spiritual freedom! I’ve personally enacted many of these principles in my life over the past year with great results. Costs nothing to try and can yield great spiritual benefits.

Rabbi Trugman – Shares with us about the new Hebrew calendar month of Tamuz and the great potential of this month.
Personal Thoughts – Always looked at this month negatively as it contains the start of the auspicious three weeks ending in Tisha B’Av. The Rabbi infused some hope for me for what it may contain for us to grow and do tshuva.

Today is the Yahrzeit of my Uncle (Dr. Milton Raskin – מנדל אברהם בן ישראל) who was niftar (passed on) one year ago today according to the Hebrew calendar. May his neshama have an aliyah (לעילוי נשמת).
Personal Thoughts – I never really knew my Uncle so well to be honest but in the process over the past year of saying kaddish for him everyday in Shul (the Synagogue) I got to know him more, spiritually speaking. Hoping his neshama has an aliyah (his spirit reaches greater heights).

Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz – Shares about the weekly parasha (Shelach) and our struggle to get out of the desert and into the hard work of our lives.
Personal Thoughts – It’s pretty comfy to have everything taken care of without much effort but that is not the ideal state for us to do Hashem’s will
