“G-d is My Portion”: Royal Choices & Humble Entreaty
Oct 23, 2017
1:02:27
Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Chet, Part 1 “G-d is My Portion”: Royal Choices & Humble Entreaty King David now elects to proudly publicize his portion of choice and personal value system—with an eye towards positively inspiring others. Then he humbly pleads for continued spiritual success as he yearns for closeness to Hashem. On a deeper level, identifying the Neshamah (sacred soul) as a G-dly portion from on high, effectively empowers meticulous observance as the magnitude of our mission humbles and subdues us (verses 57-58).

Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Chet, Part 2 "Reflective Royalty Returns Results" King David royally reflects on Torah morality and ethical values, virtues and the path of righteousness we should elect to follow in the journey called life. Didactically sharing his own customary contemplation of choices at the crossroads, the Sweet Singer of Israel empowers us to make the oftentimes difficult decision to displace our evil inclination, and travel the highway of holiness – thusly exercising our G-d-given spiritual right of return. The result is a rush towards righteousness, eschewing any delay in the observance of Hashem's commandments.

Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Chet, Part 3 "Embattled, Yet Composed" Time and again, the Sweet Singer of Israel was surrounded by bands of bad brothers; who attacked, overwhelmed and even plundered him. Remarkably, King David somehow manages to muster mindfulness and maintain spiritual courage, composure and emotional equilibrium. Delving into the intriguing commentary on the unique etymology employed by the Psalmist, a telling and compelling narrative forms the basis for timeless inspiration and guidance—especially meaningful in our modern day and age of social media.

The Dark Night Moves
Nov 14, 2017

Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Chet, Part 4 "The Dark Night Moves" Revealing rhyme and reason of King David’s strange nocturnal schedule. On the most literal of levels, the strings of a decorative harp adorning his royal state bed would melodically vibrate at midnight awaking the prayerful Monarch, who would rise to thank the Al-mighty for his righteous judgments. In a deeper metaphoric sense this darkest time of night represents deepest despair; from which we must rebound with faith-filled vigor. (Psalm 119, verse 62)

Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Chet, Part 5 "King David’s Friendship, Hashem’s" See how the King’s love and friendship towards those who “fear Heaven,” in tandem with the kindness he sought from Hashem, serve as a profound testaments of selfless humility; revealing much about our eternal monarch’s moral compass and personal value system. This class artfully weaves together diverse commentary on the subject; and a rich teaching-tapestry emerges.

1:01:07
Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Tet, Part 2 "King David's Royal Mistakes Contrasted with Divine Perfection" This class begins with the fascinating literary excavation of the meaning and etymology of a single word, which ultimately provides profound insight into how life's lessons are learned. This will enable us to rise above shortcomings and misdeeds by attaining higher consciousness and elevated awareness. Is it about education and knowledge, the effort expended and often times frustration engendered in its pursuit, is it about the wisdom of experience or the value of crushingly humbling encounters?

Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Tet, Part 3 "Deceitfully Defamed, Yet in Torah He Delighted" Although King David was falsely libeled by his enemies; he refused to be demoralized – instead choosing to delight in HaShem’s Torah. This remarkably insightful class provides a penetrating gaze into the inner workings of our Royal Sweet Singer’s unique personality and strategy in dealing with his many detractors. These lessons are undoubtedly timeless, yet in this modern age of cyber bullying and social media shaming, they may prove to be more relevant than ever.

When Affliction Is Golden
When Affliction Is Golden
Jan 8, 2018
51:04
Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Tet, Part 4 "When Affliction Is Golden" King David concludes the “verses of ‘Tov’ = Goodness” by reflecting on the goodness of affliction and the silver linings it afforded him. We learn to understand the reason that physical privation segues into spiritual success, as in analysing these verses we become privy to David HaMelech’s value system and life's compass. Here, he expresses appreciation for the priceless value of Torah studied in this terrestrial world, which by far eclipses the enormous riches of gold and silver; even in their lofty spiritual iterations. Ultimately, we are taught that this seemingly lofty definition of true goodness can and should be relevant, meaningful and inspirational for every member of Am Yisrael.

Humanity's Uniqueness – Privileges and Responsibilities

May 29, 2018
58:36
Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Yud, Part 1 "Humanity's Uniqueness – Privileges and Responsibilities" The series of verses beginning with the smallest of the Hebrew letters, Yud, opens with a deceptively simple assertion, that the human race has been naturally endowed and is organically poised for spiritual development, achievement and greatness. This, the Psalmist argues, is far more than a superior privilege and should be viewed in terms of singular sacred purpose and moral responsibilities.

Humanity's Triumph: Realizing Our Potential
Humanity's Triumph: Realizing Our Potential
Jun 5, 2018
1:07:28
Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Yud, Part 2 "Humanity's Triumph: Realizing Our Potential" Following lesson one’s thesis about how humanity’s unique potential obligates us to strenuously strive to live lives imbued with higher purpose. The concluding volley of this verse seems to represent the very antithesis of this concept, as King David’s plea “Grant me understanding” appears to place the primary onus on G-d, rather than us! Tellingly, although the letter Yud is commonly associated with Chachmah (cerebral intuition, or intellectual creativity), throughout the eight verses, only Bina (comprehension or intellectual digestion and development) is mentioned.
1850
Lead or Follow

Jun 11, 2018

Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Letter Yud; Verse 74(Part Three) "Lead or Follow" In emphasizing the unique privileges of our unique Divine creation, we should come to the realization of life’s true value and meaning. King David seeks to teach us how to earn the respect of the reverent and reach to become a shining example for others. Here, the Sweet Singer of Israel serenades us about the virtues of responsible spiritual leadership, developing a passion for Avodat Hashem, lucidly communicating profound truths and the power of hope in The Eternal. Because in the end, the truly virtuous will always best lead by example.

Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Chapter 119, Part 1 Introduction "The Secret Matrix of Psalm 119" This chapter consists of 22 stanzas—corresponding to the 22 letters of the Hebrew aleph-bet. Each stanza is comprised of eight verses, all beginning with same letter, hence it’s known as the psalm of eight-faces. This introductory class provides an overview highlighting the inner character of chapter 119. We examine the key words repeatedly employed throughout this psalm, and the profound meaning embedded in the patter of eight.

Jun 12, 2018
1:11:36
Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Vav, Part 1 "Realization of Royalty" The first three verses beginning with the Hebrew letter Vav encapsulate King David’s heartfelt plea that through he and his progeny be fulfilled prophetically foretold glory. Echoing these sentiments each of us can yearn to take our rightful place in the sweep of history, linking our own seed to the ancient ancestors of Am Yisrael. We pray for the ability to respond to our detractors with nothing but truth of Hashem's Torah.

Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Vav, Part 2 "Safeguarding Eternity in Confidence and Comfort" Because promises are always and forever, eternity must be defined. King David makes the case for spaciously speaking and luxuriously living that has nothing to do with unnecessary extravagance, but rather about fulfilling life's purpose with a profound sense of clarity, confidence and comfort.

Redemption Songs Series - Tehillim; Psalm 119 Verses of Zayin, Part 1 "Cherishing Serenity’s Seven" The first verse corresponding to the letter Zayin in Psalm 119 recalls prophetic promises. Surrounded by enemies, the embattled progenitor of Jewish royalty finds comfort in the Torah. Widespread and withering condemnation fazes him not, as he tenaciously clings to our eternal source of life and inspiration.

Slicing Satan
Slicing Satan
Jul 23, 2018
1:07:25
Redemption Songs Series: Tehillim; Psalm 119 - Verse 149 In the Chabad tradition, the verse selected to represent the letter “Kuf” differs from the common custom. This class carefully analyses the meaning of the 149th verse of Psalm 119, seeking to understand why this would have been selected over the more ubiquitous tradition of Lamentations, 3:56. A profound clarification of the sounds we utter, G-d's kindness and judgment, and the broader motif of this biblical sentence readily reveals why this verse may have been favored to best prepare for Rosh Hashanah’s climatic Shofar sounding. 149: “Hear my voice in keeping with Your kindness; O Lord, grant me life as is Your practice.”

Breathtakingly True
Breathtakingly True
Jul 30, 2018
1:05:59
Redemption Songs Series: Tehillim; Psalm 119 - Verse 160 "Breathtakingly True" The universal custom is to recite the 160th verse of Psalm 119 as we continue our preparation for the Shofar blowing corresponding to the letter “Reish.” The Psalmists emphasis on the nature of truth for G-d's opening utterances is perplexing: is not everything emanating from the Creator perfectly true? A fascinating Midrash helps unlock the mystery of the deeper meaning of this prophetic expression, and why this verse is so obviously suited to inhibit adversarial forces and blow open the heavenly doors for the sounds of our prayers and Shofar! “The beginning of Your word is truth, and forever are all Your righteous judgements.”

Redemption Songs Series Tehillim; Psalm 119 Letter Mem; Verse 99 (Part Three) LIFE’S MANY TEACHERS In elucidating King David’s humble self-attestation about the development of his wisdom, divergent opinions emerge amongst our classic commentaries: “gained from many teachers” or “far more than what was learnt from them.” Success was achieved because: “G-d's testimonies were his conversation.” This insightful rumination cross-references and then differentiates from a Mishniac teaching attributed to the legendary Ben Zoma drawing on this very verse. Finally, multiple commentaries segue into layered penetrating insight culled from the Chassidic Masters

King David’s continues to share secrets of his own personal development so that others might benefit. Here too, our classic commentaries are divided: did David “gain understanding from his Elders” or had he become “more perceptive than they.” Disparate perspectives elucidated, we move on to revealing secrets of his success: “because I’ve guarded your precepts.” By uniquely focusing on putting abstract lessons into concrete practice – in action or communication to others. Doing just this, in conclusion, a triplicate methodology in self-actualization emerges!
