Pirkei Avot – Chapter 3

Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi – Shares some really interesting insight and stories about the Pirkei Avot chapter we read this Shabbat. (Each week during the summer months our Rabbis instituted learning chapters of Mishna to fill the extra time we have during the long summer Shabbatot).

Personal Thoughts – Although this lecture took place several years ago the content really brings this Pirkei Avot chapter alive and relevant to everyday life. Sometimes learning these Mishnaot can be somewhat dry but Rabbi Mizrachi brings them alive with his concise explanations and colorful stories.

How does the 9 days affect the upcoming year!

Rabbi Moshe Pinto – The 9 days are officially over and our focus turns to one of the most joyful parts of the year. The Talmud says that there are not better days in the whole year than the two days of Tu B’Av (the 15th of Av – which is on this coming Shabbat) and Yom Kippur. However, this particular video has so many interesting and uplifiting points that we can learn from and help us throughout the rest of the year I didn’t want to let it pass until next year to post. Hope you enjoy it.

!Short Clips!

Rabbi Avraham Meyer Zajac – Within the context of how to erase what has been written on parchment (Torah, Tefillin, and Mizuzot), the Rabbi tells us a life lesson as well – that (paraphrasing) “sometime we have to wait until our mistake has dried before doing teshuva on it”.

Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – Shares how our prayers for our zivug (life partner) is intimately tied to our success in parnasa (sustenance) – daily focused prayer (Hibodidut) to Hashem is essential for both to be fruitful.

Reading Megillat of Eicha on Tisha B’Av

Tisha B’Av is observed Saturday night after Shabbat. It is a day of mourning for many tragedies in Jewish history including the destruction of both Temples. Many of the videos I posted recently explain some aspects. It is customary to recite/read/listen to the book of Eicha on Saturday night after the evening prayer (Maariv) after Shabbat is over.

Devarim – Growing Through Deuteronomy

Rabbi Trugman – Shares with us seven different meanings of just the first pasuk (sentence) of this week’s Torah portion. This starts the final book the the Five Books of Moses.

Personal Thoughts – I enjoy learning more about all the different aspects of the simple Torah text – the uncovered secrets so to speak. Our sages say that the Torah is as wide as the ocean – vast in scope and meaning.

KLM Baseless Hatred which is Misplaced and Finding Freedom from Negativity

Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – Shares a very simple way to divert our hate to the where it belongs – towards the destructive forces in our life (the yetzer hara – “the evil inclination”) which helps each of us do our part in bringing our collective redemption.

Personal Thoughts – This short exercise is very easy to do and easy to access which can help me get past negative feelings towards others in everyday life. Try it yourself and share it!

Rise Above the Challenge

Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – In the third live class in Eretz Yisroel (in Ramat Beit Shemesh) the Rabbi shares a five point plan of action to deal with life’s challenges that we all may experience at some time during our life. This can be viewed as a practical guide to living that is sourced in Torah which is the basis of life itself and yields tangible results in our day to day life.

Personal Thoughts – This was the first class of Rabbi Kalmus that I attended in person. Although this video blog enables anyone to view a class or classes after the fact and is designed to help anyone learn Torah in the comfort of their own space, Rabbi Kalmus does emphasize that the best way to learn from a class is to attend it live, next to view it while it’s live, and lastly to watch the video afterwards. If you can attend the Rabbi’s future classes I highly recommend to make the effort. Hope you enjoy the class!
