What Bilam Taught Us About the Power of Speech Description: In this shiur, Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi explores the deep power of one word. Using the story of Bilam, who planned to destroy Klal Yisrael with a single word, we learn how speech—just one moment of it—holds the power to build or destroy. From the Gemara in Sanhedrin to the teachings of the Chafetz Chaim, this episode covers how careful we need to be with our words, especially during times like Tisha B’Av. Rabbi Rahimi also introduces a practical way to grow in this area: taking on the Chafetz Chaim Daily Companion. Listeners who commit to finishing the sefer can receive a free copy and submit a name to be prayed for at the kever of the Manchester Rosh Yeshiva during the Chafetz Chaim’s yahrzeit.

Aug 21, 2025
28:35
Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi explains why the Torah sets limits on mourning and what Yaakov’s journey from Be’er Sheva teaches about our impact on the world. Description: In this class, Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi shares two powerful lessons from Parashat Re’eh. The first teaching comes from the verse Banim Atem LaHashem Elokeichem—“You are children of Hashem.” The Torah forbids self-harm in mourning, reminding us that even in times of loss, life continues with purpose. A Jew’s mission is to serve Hashem each day, and that responsibility gives meaning even through grief. The second lesson explores why the Torah emphasizes that Yaakov Avinu left Be’er Sheva on his way to Charan. Rashi explains that the presence of a righteous person changes a place, and when they leave, their absence is deeply felt. Rabbi Rahimi expands on this insight, showing how our actions and presence influence our surroundings. This episode is dedicated l’ilui nishmat Yosef ben Mazal Malamala and refuah sheleima for Aviva Bracha bat Ora.
