Children of Hashem and the Lessons of Parashat Re’eh
Children of Hashem and the Lessons of Parashat Re’eh
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.

Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi on daily mitzvot and the meaning of storytelling Description: In this talk, Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi explains the difference between remembering the Exodus and speaking about it in detail.

Rabbi Rahimi compares it to how we listen in relationships—just fulfilling the duty or truly engaging. He also shares why preparation matters for the Seder, and why the mitzvah is meant to be lived as an ongoing story, not just a passing memory.

Lessons on Teshuva, Potential, and Olam Haba Description: In this shiur, Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi explores the true gift of Yom Kippur — the chance to step back, reflect, and return to Hashem through teshuva. Drawing from the story of Pharaoh in Egypt and the Midrash about the ant, Rabbi Rahimi shows how distraction and busyness can keep us from prayer and growth, and how Yom Kippur comes to wake us up to our real potential. Through vivid parables, including the image of an ant preparing for more life than it expects, we learn how to prepare ourselves for Olam Haba with Torah, mitzvot, and teshuva. Rabbi Rahimi reminds us that the Yamim Noraim are the days that shape our entire year — our health, our livelihood, and our connection to Hashem. This talk is a call to focus on the neshama, push past the yetzer hara, and use Yom Kippur as the day to reset, pray with intention, and realign with our mission in this world.
