May 23, 2021

40:22

00:00 – Peace in Israel under the leadership of Tolah ben Puah from the tribe of Yissachar. 00:40 – The next leader was Yair HaGiladi of Shevet Menashe (East). He called the villages of his sons “Chavos Yair” to commemorate Yair ben Menashe, who had no children. Why does the Torah mention this? The true offspring of tzaddikim are the Torah and maasim tovim (good deeds) they bring to the world. “Chavos Yair” (gematria is 635: 613 mitzvos plus the 22 letters of the Torah). 05:56 – Jewish emunah (faith) faltered and as a result Hashem allowed the nation of Ammon oppressed them. 07:31 – Hashem refused to help Israel because of their idol worship, but Am Yisrael continued to beg Him to return to them. 08:57 – “Lam’natzeach” in Tehillim alludes to Hashem‘s “defeat” through prayer, teaching us that no one should ever give up hope, no matter what the circumstances. 10:40 – Yiftach, arises from humble beginnings to become a fierce defender of Israel. The Jews are forbidden to make war against Moav because Rus would come from that land. 13:55 – Ammon declares war against the Jews. 17:00 – Sichon, king of Amori and Og, King of Bashan were supernatural giants. They had survived the flood of Noach. Yiftach refuses to give back trans-Jordan and the army of Israel was victorious even though they were greatly outnumbered. 19:52 – Yiftach’s vow to sacrifice the first thing he meets after the battle if he is victorious. 23:14 – Did Yiftach actually sacrifice his only daughter? The Zohar says yes. Because of Yiftach‘s refusal to meet with Pinchas, Kohen Gadol, his daughter lost her life. Both men were punished severely by Hashem for their stubbornness. 28:38 – Civil war with Ephraim. 30:03 – The origin of the term for a password: “shibboleth.” 32:03 – Aftzon/Boaz and Rus and the origin of Mashiach in spiritual purity. 35:36 – Lineage of Shimshon HaGibor (Samson). 37:34 – Elon and Avadon.

The death of Avshalom. 10:15 – Likutey Moharan 69 – destroying an other’s property has consequences that can harm one’s children. 11:14 – Dovid HaMelech (King David) mourned the death of his son with the words, “O’ my son Avshalom, my son, my son Avshalom! Would that I had died in your stead, O’ Avshalom my son, my son!” By using these specific words he rescued his son from the seven levels of gehinnom (eternal punishment after death). 14:56 – The timelessness of the afterlife. *15:54 – Account of how Rabi Yochanan rescues Acher from gehinnom. 17:29 – Rebbe Nachman’s promise to rescue his students from gehinnom if they will give tzedakah (charity) at his grave site in Uman. 18:08 – Through performing good deeds, children have the ability to save their parents from gehinnom, but parents cannot save their children from punishment in the next world. *19:27 – Dovid HaMelech‘s achievement seems to contradict these kabbalistic principles, so the sages of the Talmud explore why and how King David was able to elevate the soul of his rebellious son. 24:01 – Yoav admonishes Dovid HaMelech for mourning his son instead of rejoicing in the victory to save the kingdom. Amasa is invited to replace Yoav. 26:17 – Mefiboshes, the son of Yonasan (Jonathan), is invited to live at the palace of Dovid HaMelech. 31:41 – There are three sins for which a Jew must give his life rather than transgress: idol worship, murder, adultery. Loshon hara (slander) is worse than all three of these sins combined. Because Dovid HaMelech seemed to be acting based on loshon hara about Mefiboshes, he was punished with the division of his kingdom. However in truth, Dovid HaMelech did not sin in this matter. 35:16 – The rebellion of Sheva ben Bichri. Yoav assassinates Amasa. 37:32 – A wise woman saves the city where Sheva ben Bichri is hiding by throwing his head down to the army of Dovid HaMelech. 38:04 – Dovid HaMelech was above the level of Rabi Shimon Bar Yochai.

Would that I had died in your stead, O’ Avshalom my son, my son!” 01:12 – The sages of the Talmud explain why and how King David was able to elevate the soul of his rebellious son (II Shmuel/Samuel 19, Sotah 10a).

Shmuel (Samuel) 1 – Lesson 1

Jun 27, 2021

41:48

00:00 – In the last story of the Sipurey Masiyos – Rabbi Nachman’s story of The Seven Beggars – the fourth beggar (with a crooked neck) speaks about two birds who have been distanced from one another. The beggar describes his talent as a ventriloquist whereby he throws his voice to imitate the sound of each bird until the two are reunited. This alludes to the way Hashem used His “Voice” the first time He spoke to the prophet Shmuel. 04:31 – The Aron Kodesh (Holy Ark) is captured by the Philistines. This incident relates to a later moment in Jewish history when Dovid Hamelech (King David) defeats the giant Golias (Goliath). 08:46 – The heroism of Shaul (Saul) even before he is made king. He risks his life, alone, to rescue the luchos (tablets of the Torah) from the Aron Kodesh. 13:49 – The death of Eli HaKohen and his sons. 15:34 – The Philistines celebrate their victory in the city of Ashdod but their idol, Dagan (a kind of “merman” figure) is destroyed and a plague breaks out. They move the Aron Kodesh to other locations but the trouble continues until they decide to let oxen pulling the wagon decide to return it to the Jews. 22:11 – Shmuel gives rebuke to Israel. The Philistines are defeated by Hashem through thunder. 25:08 – The People of Israel ask for a King and Shaul is annointed by Shmuel. 29:29 – Why was Shmuel HaNavi angry that the People of Israel asked for a king, when it’s actually a mitzvah in the Torah? The response includes some of the Seven Mitzvos (commandments) of the Bnei Noach (descendants of Noah) as listed in Sanhedrin 58b: 1) Do not murder. 2) Do not steal. 3) Do not worship false gods. 4) Do not commit adultery. 5) Do not eat the limb of a living animal. 6) Do not curse God. 7) Set up courts and bring offenders to justice. 38:32 – King Yeravam Ben Nevat (Jeroboam) threatens the prophet, his hand shrinks (Melachim Aleph – 1 Kings:13). Moral of this incident for today: emunas chochomim.

00:00 – The story behind the birth of Shmuel HaNavi (Samuel the Prophet). Elkanah, Chana, Penina. 11:45 – Introduction to basic concepts of kabbalah and how Chana’s prayer reached “above Hashem“.

Shoftim – The Book of Judges – presented by Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Rosenfeld z”l. 00:00 – Delilah’s attempts to find out the secret of Shimshon‘s strength. 09:15 – Shimshon reveals the truth about his supernatural powers and he is captured by the Plishtim (Philistines). He is blinded and endures many trials but remains a tzaddik. 15:58 – Through his death, Shimshon brings down more enemies of Israel than he did in all his battles against them during his lifetime. 20:57 – Shimshon was a tzaddik and achieved even more through his death than he did through his life. There are two types of gehinnam (hell) – one of fire and one of ice. The antidote for the gehinnam of of ice is hidden in the mitzvos that are done through pairs (e.g. tefillin, two Shabbos loaves at every meal). 27:30 – The powers of a tzaddik to destroy his enemies are even greater after he passes away than they were in his lifetime. 30:16 – The gilgulim (incarnations) of Shimshon, who was, himself, a gilgul of Nadav and Avihu, the sons of Aharon HaKohen. 35:52 – The lesson of Shimshon and his ultimate victory is that a person should strengthen his faith in the tzaddikim and never give up.

Sep 25, 2021

40:03

00:00 – The incident of Tamar, Amnon, and Avshalom. 09:50 – Dovid HaMelech (King David) yearns for his banished son.

Shimi ben Gera curses him along the way. 24:09 – Avshalom usurps his father’s throne. *28:18 – While excavating the site of the future Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple), Dovid HaMelech accidentally dislodged the Even Shesiya (Foundation Stone of the Creation). Subterranean reservoirs of water erupted from the depths, and only with the help of Achitofel was the king able to stop the flood (Sukkah 53a). 37:21 – Statement in Pirkei Avos (Ethics of the Fathers) 6:3 about Dovid HaMelech learning only two things from Achitofel, illustrating the importance of honoring any person from whom one learns Torah. 38:16 – Concluding words about the suffering of Dovid HaMelech.

Shmuel 2 – Lesson 3 – Proofs from the Zohar HaKodesh that Dovid HaMelech Did Not Sin; Demons; Defeat of Ammon; Shunning Non-Jewish Styles

Sep 18, 2021

39:45

00:00 – The angel Dumah is appointed over Gehinnam. He demands the soul of Dovid HaMelech (King David) but Hashem Himself tells him: “Dovid HaMelech did not commit a sin, he is pure.” 05:46 – Another proof of Dovid HaMelech‘s innocence brought in the Zohar HaKodesh is related to the statement made about Avraham Avinu, “bah beyomim” (arriving with his days). The teshuvah of someone returning to Judaism from a distant background proceeds more quickly than the teshuvah of a tzaddik. 16:40 – New shiur begins. Dovid HaMelech yearns to build the Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple). Hashem tells Nasan HaNavi to tell Dovid that although the kingship of Israel will never be taken away from him and his descendants, even so – the Beis HaMikdash will be built by Dovid’s son, Shlomo (Solomon). 20:14 – Demons are half-human, half-supernatural descendants of Adam. These beings can fly and can turn themselves into different forms. They are born, reproduce, and die. 23:56 – Reference to the story in Gittin about Shlomo HaMelech and Ashmedai. 24:15 – Hashem tells Nasan HaNavi to rush back to Dovid HaMelech. From this we learn the importance of zrizus/enthusiasm, quickness to do a mitzvah. 27:57 – Dovid HaMelech kills the kings of Ammon in retaliation for their treachery in murdering Dovid’s family. 28:46 – Name of King David’s mother is not mentioned in the written Torah but it appears in the Talmud. *30:20 – Shmuel 2 – Perek 10. To disgrace the emissaries of Dovid HaMelech, the son of Ammon orders that their beards should be half shaven off. Here Rabbi Rosenfeld z”l comments on the importance of not following the styles of non-Jewish culture, particularly citing the Torah tradition against allowing the hair on the top and back of a man’s head to grow long. 36:52 – Yoav attacks Ammon but gives the victory to his king, Dovid. 38:08 – Although Dovid HaMelech was victorious in many battles on behalf of Israel, he was not granted peace in this world. Introduction to the rebellion of his son, Avshalom.

Jul 20, 2021

(Presentation of a “kvitel“.) 07:00 – Shaul is told that he will be king of Israel. Shmuel instructs him to look up at the sky to strengthen his yiras shemayaim (reverence for Hashem). 10:00 – The meaning of the expression “Shaul is also among the prophets?” Shaul becomes king. A king of Israel may not negate the honor due him. 13:00 – Nachash Kig of Ammon threatens the Jewish community of Yavesh Gilad. Shaul destroys the army of Ammon. 19:00 – Shmuel reprimands the People of Israel for believing in a king instead of believing in Hashem. Shaul leads the People to do teshuvah by praying before defending themselves against the Philistines, but an act of disrespect of Shmuel HaNavi causes him to lose the kingdom. 25:00 – Yonasan, the son of Shaul, succeeds in a valiant and shrewd attack on the enemy. 30:00 – Shaul HaMelech fails to wipe out the entire nation of Amalekbecause he allowed their king, Agog, to live. Shmuel executes Agog. 38:00 – The gemara questions the strictness of this judgment. Couldn’t Shaul HaMelech have done teshuvah and been forgiven? He could have, except he fell into despair and he was therefore not able to do teshuvah. 43:00 – How did the music of Dovid’s harp soothe the despair of Shaul? The story of the Seventh Beggar: the princess and the Castle of Water. 45:00 – A Jew should never lose hope.

Two accounts from Jewish history that illustrate how a small domestic problem can escalate to war. First – the account of Micah‘s idol, second, the account of how and why the tribe of Benyamin was almost completely destroyed by the other tribes of Israel. Text: Shoftim/Judges 17-20.

Ep. 7 - Shoftim Part 5 – The Dark Days of Micha and the Pilegesh

Jun 30, 2025

12:51

In one of the darkest chapters of Sefer Shoftim, we encounter a time when there was no king in Israel—and no boundaries. Part 5 of Nach Stories brings two haunting episodes to life: Micha’s homemade religion, led by none other than the grandson of Moshe Rabbeinu, and the gruesome tale of the Pilegesh who was betrayed, leading to a civil war that nearly erased an entire tribe from Klal Yisrael. Through immersive narration and rich sound design, this episode explores what happens when a society has no leaders, no accountability, and no clarity between right and wrong. These stories are raw, real, and recorded in the pesukim with painful detail—for a reason.
