Special prayer for the 23rd of Sivan (today)

Rabbi Alon Anava – On the 23rd of the month of Sivan (כג׳ סיון) the decree of Haman (At the time of Mordechai and Esther) to annihilate the Jewish nation was nullified. The holy books teach us that this day (today) is a very powerful day for prayers to nullify decrees and anything bad, evil and horrible against us.

Finding Inner Peace

Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – First class in Eretz Yisroel really gave some added zip to the lecture. A real treat of a lecture in less than an hour with a great question-answer session at the end. We are not in control…..Hashem is!

Personal Thoughts – This is really must see tv (not to over-hype) as he really dug deep to share with us the path to inner peace. Saw this in real time on Zoom as the time zone now fits perfectly, hope to see one in live person in the future.

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.

Mussar (Ethics)

The Most Precious Gift In Life – Current Events

Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi – Shares with us strong Mussar (ethics) perspective on the overall importance of Torah study above all else and how the benefits derived from this greatly outweigh other worldly considerations.

Personal Thoughts – It is certainly a great challenge to change my ways and unlearn what society and culture has taught me during my lifetime. Open-mindedness to a Torah-based perspective is more and more relevant as I get older and realize what to focus on (and de-focus on) for my own benefit.

Mussar (Ethics) Weekly Torah Portion

Weekly Lecture in Brooklyn

Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi – Shares with us strong Mussar (ethics) on how we need to take responsibility for our own actions and look deep inside at our part in the current situation and stop looking at outside things for excuses about why current events are happening. Everything is in the hands of Hashem – the outside influences are just His tools to send us a message to do tshuva. Just like we say on Rosh Hashanah doing tshuva means – learning Torah, doing kind deeds/tzedakah, and prayer.

Part One (Mussar/Current Events):

Part Two (Weekly Torah portion):
