Experience the Best Teacher!

Jul 23, 2019

56:24

Redemption Songs Series Tehillim; Psalm 119 - Letter Mem; Verse 100 (Part Four) Experience the Best Teacher! 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!

43

LIFE’S MANY TEACHERS

Jul 15, 2019

51:55

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

For Love of Torah

Jun 17, 2019

1:01:31

Redemption Songs Series: Tehillim; Psalm 119 Letter Mem; Verse 97 (Part One) "For Love of Torah" “Oh, how I love your Torah” exclaims King David “all day long it is my speech.” Illustrating of how the 13th Hebrew letter is uniquely related to our Torah –the opening verses of “Mem” begin with a demonstrative Davidic proclamation of deep affection towards it. Probing further, employing terminology typically associated with casual conversation speaks volumes about breaking ground and transporting Torah truisms into concrete new horizons. Jagged divisions are justified and clarified as the circle of mitzvah remembrances completes via Torah verbalizations.

46
