Rebbetzin Rochel Silber – Tells us how King David dealt with hardship late in his life and kingship.
Personal Thoughts – King David is really the pinnacle in how to handle hardship – something to strive for. How to ask for help.

Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi – This is at the end of one of his weekly lectures discussing how what we look at (as kids and adults) dramatically affects our mind and our future at a very deep level. The other topic is the danger of racism and how it could be a major factor in delaying Mashiach (the Messiah).

Personal Thoughts – Growing up secular it was not until later in life that I realized how much “stuff” that I watched really affects me today. On the other topic, I am grateful for my parents for pretty much raising me in a racist-free environment which blessed me to find my culturally different wife (hope this helps bring Moshiach).

Rabbi Avraham Meyer Zajac – This video is a very clear explanation of the development and the codification of Jewish Law (Halachah) from the Torah to the beginning of Chabad (246 years ago).

Personal Thoughts – I’ve been looking to start studying Halachah (Jewish Law) by learning two Halachot per day. However, my preferred method is to watch videos as I absorb the material better that way. However, looking around I don’t see much and certainly not much in an organized fashion. Rabbi Zajac and Chabad have a very organized video series methodology which shows also by how well this particular video presents the introduction. This viewpoint is the Halachah as expounded upon by the first Rebbe of Chabbad (the Alter Rebbe, R’ Schneur Zalman of Liadi). Please reach out if you have another video Halachah series presented in an orderly fashion (Torah-Share.com’s email is torahshareblog@gmail.com).

Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – Rabbi Kalmus shows us that everything is good and everything “bad” in life is for that ultimate good.
Personal Thoughts – It’s so easy to go into Yeiush (Despair) especially now during the current lock-down pandemic times. This video gave me hope that everything we experience collectively and experience personally is for our/my ultimate good. Keep my eye on the prize so to speak. Everything happens for a reason and ONLY because of Hashem’s love.
Rosh Chodesh (Shevat) Tov!
Shabbat Shalom!

Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – This video is Rabbi Kalmus Siyyum which is a celebration for a completion of learning a tractate of Talmud (which could take months of intense learning). It usually includes reciting the last couple verses in the Talmud section and expounding upon it.
Personal Thoughts – The video has some very powerful global ideas about the concept that we have to fall (sometimes quite hard) before we rise – that the fall itself predicts the rise (so its actually a positive). My experience in my own life reflects this concept so I really identified strongly with his Siyyum talk.

Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman – Through this weeks parsha we learn many spiritual concepts through the blessing Yaakov gives Ephraim and Menashe, including the Sefirot (common term in Kabalah) and enclothment.
Personal Thoughts – The video started off slow for me but it was just the setup for some very deep spiritual concepts. In the last 1/3 of the lecture the Rabbi talks about the concept of enclothment which was very enlightening and certainly shed some light for me about why the World is the way it is. Hope you get a lot out of it.
