Rebbetzin Rochel Silber – Shares with us what we can do that is tangible and meaningful during these difficult times when we many times feel powerless by the events around us.
Personal Thoughts – It’s very empowering to feel like there IS something I can do personally to affect the World around me – even when it feels like there is nothing I can do.
Rabbi Trugman – This lecture was recorded on Erev Shavuot but the content is still very much relevant. The Rabbi reveals the incredible secrets of the Hebrew letters that are the building blocks on the very World in which we live.
Personal Thoughts – Great to learn about the foundation blocks the Hebrew letters represent and its depth.
Here are some interesting videos about Shavuot from two different Rabbis. Now more than ever we need to learn with intent to connect with Hashem, the source of all blessings. The first video focuses on many of our favorite topics – the custom of eating dairy foods on Shavuot. Hope you enjoy!
Rabbi David Ashear – Continuing the theme of recent video posts – Rabbi Ashear emphasizes that everything is in the hands of Hashem – once we accept that fact our life and outlook will dramatically improve.
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.
Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi – Shares with us the value of Torah learning and how the World we live in stands on it.
Personal Thoughts – The Rabbi explains how the World we see with our eyes is actually the World of sheker (lies) – which hides the true spiritual World we can uncover through learning Torah.
Rabbi Trugman – Shares with us about the weekly (double) Torah portion (Behar/Bechukotai) and the freedom to not listen to those negative voices in our head.
Personal Thoughts – The Rabbi explains a lot about my own personal thinking and that it is okay to ignore it and pursue something new spiritually no matter how small as it could grow like a planted seed.
