Nov 18, 2024
4:46
The Torah uses different terms for death regarding the Avos. (״מיתה, גויעה, אסיפה״) But by Moshe Rabbeinu, it uses just the term ״מיתה״. Why the different terms, and why is it different by Moshe?

Nov 1, 2024

Oct 29, 2024

Sukkos - Sukkah & Daled Minim: A Theme
Oct 20, 2024
4:39
It isn't a coincidence that the two mitzvos of Sukkos come together. They definitely have a theme to them. Perhaps it is to show us that we aren't here in this world.
169

Rosh Hashana - Confidently Confident
Rosh Hashana - Confidently Confident
Oct 1, 2024
3:51
There is a Halacha that one should bathe and have a haircut before Rosh Hashana because we're confident in the outcome. However, the Gemara tells us that we don't say Hallel on Rosh Hashana due to its severity. So what is it? It seems like a contradiction?!?!?
174
Parshas Hazinu - Sleep & Death
Parshas Hazinu - Sleep & Death
Sep 30, 2024
3:28
Sleep and death are related not just because we're not (totally) here. It could also be because a person can't be told to do either of them by someone else.

Parshas Ki Savo - It's Not You, It's Him
Sep 20, 2024
4:01
Bikkurim shows us that what we yield is only due to Hashem's help. That could be why it's read before Rosh Hashana. To remind us who the Real King is.

Parshas Ki Seitzei - The Anti Amalek
Sep 13, 2024
3:43
Amalek jumped right into the hot, scalding bath. They did the exact opposite of how one conquers the Yetzer Hara. Don't be like them.
182
Elul - The First Step Has Been Taken
Elul - The First Step Has Been Taken
Sep 11, 2024
4:36
One may think that to do teshuva you have to take the first step and initiate the process. However, it's not true. The first step has already been taken. Hashem is already here. He's making it so much easier for us than you may think.
183
Parshas Ki Seitzei - Beating The Yetzer Hara
Parshas Ki Seitzei - Beating The Yetzer Hara
Sep 9, 2024
4:37

184
Parshas Shoftim - The Anti False Witnesses
Parshas Shoftim - The Anti False Witnesses
Sep 6, 2024
4:47
Eidem Zomimim is paid back with whatever they wanted to be done to the accused. However, HKB"H doesn't act that way towards us. He doesn't deal with us in the same manner. He gives us a lot more wiggle room
185
Parshas Shoftim - Use Your Righteousness
Parshas Shoftim - Use Your Righteousness
Sep 4, 2024
3:47
Everyone has an area that they excel in. During this time of Elul that we're holding in, perhaps its a good idea to use that area to bring it out in the open and get more merits for the coming year.
186
Parshas Shoftim - War Exemptions 101
Parshas Shoftim - War Exemptions 101
Sep 2, 2024
4:24
There are certain individuals who the Torah lets go home and not go to battle. They are not holding by waging war at this moment. Not only that, but it may be an aveira to go.
187
Parshas Reah - Our Father, Our Rebbe
Parshas Reah - Our Father, Our Rebbe
Aug 30, 2024
4:36
The Torah calls us Hashem's sons. What specifically makes us His sons? That we're physically alive, or that we have an eternal life? It's both!!
188
Parshas Reah - Mitzrayim vs. Amalek
Parshas Reah - Mitzrayim vs. Amalek
Aug 28, 2024
3:37
Both Amalek and Mitzrayim played significant roles in our history. As a result, both of them need to be remembered. But how and when to remember them is vastly different.
189
Parshas Reah - Perspectives
Parshas Reah - Perspectives
Aug 26, 2024
3:58
The same exact thing can be seen by two different people in a totally opposite view. What one person may like, the other one may not. It's all up to the individual.

Parshas Eikev - Every Mitzvah Needs Attention
Parshas Eikev - Every Mitzvah Needs Attention
Aug 23, 2024
3:09
Just accepting upon oneself עול מלכות שמים does not suffice. One needs to accept every mitzvah individually as well. Hashem wants individual attention to everything done. Not just an overall general acceptance.
191
Parshas Eikev - An Equilibrium of Fear and Love
Parshas Eikev - An Equilibrium of Fear and Love
Aug 21, 2024
4:38
The passuk asks us to fear Hashem, yet it says that we have to love Him as well. This teaches us how to balance our Avodas Hashem through everything we do. We need to both love and fear. The trick is how to walk that delicate line.
192
Tu B'Av - Build Your Own Beis Hamikdash
Tu B'Av - Build Your Own Beis Hamikdash
Aug 19, 2024
4:41
It's no coincidence that Tu B'av follows shortly after Tisha B'av. After mourning the Beis Hamikdash we transition to one of the happiest days of the year. When a couple has peace and harmony in their house, they also have the Shechina there together with them. If we haven't been zoche to have the Beis Hamikash yet, we can have it in every home individually.
193
Parshas Veschanan - Hashem's Oneness
Parshas Veschanan - Hashem's Oneness
Aug 16, 2024
4:29
What is so integral about the pasuk of "Shema"?? Why the repetition of "Hashem" in the pasuk?? The Abarbanel illuminates the pasuk for us.
194
Post Tisha Bav Thoughts - The Nechama Proccess
Post Tisha Bav Thoughts - The Nechama Proccess
Aug 14, 2024
4:54
After Tisha Bav we have seven weeks of nechama as opposed to three weeks of פרעניות from Shivah Asar Btamuz till tisha Bav. Perhaps it is because we need to feel and commiserate with Shechina for that long and then we can accept HKB"H as our King on Rosh Hashanah.
195
Tisha Bav - The Longest Mourning
Tisha Bav - The Longest Mourning
Aug 12, 2024
4:40
Tisha Bav is not like mourning for a close relative who passes away. If that was the case, we should have ceased to mourn long ago. The mourning signifies that this is very different. We know that it will come to an end. The day will come that redemption will come.
196
Parshas Devarim - How To Win A War
Parshas Devarim - How To Win A War
Aug 9, 2024
4:19
At the end of the parsha Moshe Rabbeinu tells Bnei Yisrael the secret to winning a war. No, it's not about different tactics on the ground or in the air. It's about the Only One who you can you rely on.
197
Parshas Devarim - Moshe Rabbeinu Made a Joke
Parshas Devarim - Moshe Rabbeinu Made a Joke
Aug 7, 2024
3:45
Moshe Rabbeinu started rebuking Klal Yisrael by telling them a joke in order that they should be receptive. When a person is in a jovial mood, he's more receptive to what is being said.
198
Parshas Devarim - Eicha Explained
Parshas Devarim - Eicha Explained
Aug 5, 2024
4:30
Moshe, Yeshaya, & Yermiyah all used the term "eichah". When they said it, they all had the same sentiment. It wasn't to be taken literally. It was more rhetorical. How did such a holy nation fall to such depths?!?! How could it be?!?!?
199
Parshas Masei - Enjoy The Journey
Parshas Masei - Enjoy The Journey
Aug 2, 2024
4:02
The Torah goes out of its way to tell us every stop that was made on the way to Eretz Yisrael. Every stop had a purpose, had a reason. It wasn't for naught. So too, a person can have different stops along the way that they didn't to make. In the end though, it too, was for for a purpose.

Parshas Masei - The Torah Is Given Again
Parshas Masei - The Torah Is Given Again
Jul 31, 2024
3:15
One of the places Bnei Yisrael traveled to in the desert was Midbar Sinai. But the Torah here makes no mention of what took place there, unlike by other stops they had along the way. R Moshe Feinstein z'l approaches this in a practical way for us today.
