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).

חידושים מרתקים בפרשת אמור – השיעור השבועי של הרב תומר ישראלוב

חידושים מרתקים בפרשת אמור – השיעור השבועי של הרב תומר ישראלוב
חידוש מדהים ומרתק שצריך קצת להחזיק ראש, האם לפי הסוד 24,000 תלמידי רבי עקיבא כן נתנו כבוד זה לזה. הרב תומר ישראלוב בשיעור מרתק וחידושים מרתקים בפרשת אמור על משה רבינו. גם פרשת שבוע שאקטואלית.
פרשת אמור היא הפרשה השמינית בספר ויקרא. היא עוסקת בדינים שונים, ביניהם היא מביאה לראשונה בתנ”ך את רשימת חגי ישראל אותם אנו חוגגים מדי שנה.
מיתת התלמידים אירעה בין חג הפסח לשבועות. בעקבות מותם נקבעו ימי ספירת העומר כימי צער ואבל לזכר מאורע זה. המאירי מביא שפסקו התלמידים מלמות ביום ל”ג בעומר, ולכך ביום זה נפסקים ימי האבלות, ואף נהגו בו כמה ענייני שמחה. על פי מסורת אחרת סיבת השמחה ביום ל”ג בעומר קשורה בתנא רבי שמעון בר יוחאי

!Shabbat Shalom! Perfect Marriages – Emor (Rabbi Dovid Kaplan) (Weekly Parsha)

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares about how the Kohen Gadol is the closest representative on Earth to Adam Ha-rishon before the original sin (who represented perfection). Adam was not subject to death or illness and was to be eternally married to Chava (Eve) prior to that original sin. The Kohen Gadol reminds us of that in that he was restricted from marrying only someone who was never with a man before, could not be in contact with anyone (even a close family member) who dies, and could not serve in the Beis Hamikdash (the Temple) if he had a physical imperfection (parallel to an illness).

!Short Clips! Awaiting The Coming of The Messiah – Rabbi Daniel Glatstein

Rabbi Daniel Glatstein – Shares about how the only mitzvah in the Chumash that says that Hashem is doing is waiting for the Geula (the redemption/coming of Moshiach) and therefore when we also anticipate this we are emulating Hashem and this action/thought/prayer in and of itself helps make it happen.

Sadducees & Karaites (HaRav Yitzchak Breitowitz)

Rabbi Breitowitz – Shares about a very well known machloket (disagreement) when it comes to when we start counting the omer (the day after Shabbat vs. the day after the first day of Pesach) between the Sudducees and the mainstream Jewish authorities during our history. This is further expounded on by the Rav by explaining who the Sadducees and Karaites were, when they started, what they stood for, where they are today, and where they went wrong.

!Short Clips! 2,500 Year Old Seeds Come to Life – Rabbi YY Jacboson

Rabbi Jacobson – Shares a story of 2,500 year old seeds that were planted in Israel and grew, were blessed, and were eaten. The history of these seeds parallels a lot of Jewish history and the lessons of Jewish continuity in Eretz Yisroel. We can learn a lot from cherishing our history by it guiding us how to live today.

KLM: A Few More Seconds For Seferot HaOmer Changes Everything with Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit

Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit – Shares the five mitzvot we can do within the main mitzvah of counting the omer. Referencing the U.S. company 3M (Mikdash, Manna, Ma’amad Har Sinai) to help us remember the middle three mitzvot along with counting and connection to Hashem to round out the five. This five for the price of one every day of the Omer count.

חידושים מרתקים בפרשת קדושים – השיעור השבועי של הרב תומר ישראלוב

חידושים מרתקים בפרשת קדושים – השיעור השבועי של הרב תומר ישראלוב
בין אדם לחבירו ובין אדם למקום, כמו הכרובים שהיו במשכן ובבית המקדש הראשון!
הרב תומר ישראלוב בשיעור מרתק וחידושים מרתקים בפרשת קדושים על מצוות ואהבת לרעך כמוך. גם פרשת שבוע שאקטואלית. לומדים קצת על איך לאהוב את החבר. דברים שבין אדם לחבירו.
יש לכבד את ההורים, אך כיבוד אב ואם לא יכול לבוא על חשבון השבת אותה יש לשמור; המקלל את הוריו דינו – מיתה;
אסור לגנוב ולגזול בכל דרך שהיא, או להישבע לשקר במשפט על דיני ממון; אסור לקלל; אין להכשיל עור או לייעץ לאדם שלא מתמצא בתחום מסויים עצה לא הוגנת; אסור לרכל;
אם ניתן להציל אדם מסכנת חיים, יש לעשות את כל האפשר כדי להצילו;
אסור לשנוא יהודי נוסף, אך יש להוכיח אותו כשהוא מתנהג לא כראוי; אסור לנקום באדם שגמל לנו רע או לנטור את שנאתו בלב ולהזכיר לו את מעשיו לאחר מכן; ואהבת לרעך כמוך; יש לקום מפני שיבה ולהדר פני זקן; אין לבזות את הגר; יש להקפיד על מסחר הגון ולא לרמות

משל: עכבר, תרנגול, כבשה ופרה! הרב תומר ישראלוב פרקי אבות

Be Holy and Love Your Neighbor – Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz

Rabbi Breitowitz – Shares about the true nature of Rabbi Akiva’s “love your neighbor fellow like you love yourself” – treating people not as a mitzvah for your account but as a person to be valued and cared for. During this period of counting the omer we learn of Rabbi Akiva’s 24,000 students who died during this period and what we can learn from it.

!Short Clips! Hebrew Months

!Short Clips! Living With The Times – Secrets of Rosh Chodesh Iyar

Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman – Shares how the Hebrew month of Iyar which starts tonight is related to the Hebrew letter vav which means ‘and’ and is a connector. This is very much related to the current ongoing mitzvah of counting the omer which occurs during three Hebrew months – Iyar is the center month of that count (again a connector). This month is earthly (bring things back down to Earth) which is unlike the current Hebrew month of Nissan which is a fire based month. Iyar is a healing month.

Adding weekly parashah shiur here as well (2nd half was great):
