026 - Who Do We Serve?

Part of the mussaf of Rosh Hashono is our acknowledgement of the kingship of Hashem.

Of course we know that Hashem is the creator of the heaven and the earth, but how does one really accept Him as our Ruler?

023 - Being a קנאי. It's Not Just for Extremists.

Download the shiur from here.

We tend to look down upon the קנאים who throw stones at cars on Shabbos etc. We also think that קנאות is something for extremists, not us.

But in reality it is not, and we can be קנאים - in the right time, and the right place, although not in the way we think.

גם זו לטובה

It's so easy to say the words.

It can even be easy to think them when the mishap isn't all that catastrophic.

But how can we mean the words when things really go wrong?

018 - The Importance of Torah

• Some say it's important to learn Torah for עולם הבא.


• Others say that one should learn for the sake of chinuch.


• Or do we learn so that we should know what's allowed על פי תורה?

In truth it's a mixture of the above.

This shiur will explore the various reasons we should spend time learning Torah.

017 The Difference Between Aspiration & Jealousy

קרח complained that he had no part in the מלוכה and/or כהונה. As we all know, he was punished.

להבדיל, אהרן הכהן also questioned why he was excluded from the נסיאים, and as רש"י informs us in this weeks פרשה he was rewarded.

This Shiur explores the reasons behind this.

016 - Being Patriotic/Keeping to the Rules

This weeks shiur we will examine our relation to the מלוכה, the laws governing this country and our obligation to keep them. Are we supposed to have patriotic feelings toward the place we live in?

014 Judging Others

Download it from here.

In Shiur 012 (Sefiras Ha'Omer - Appreciating The Value of Time), we spoke about the ספירה as a catalyst for counting our time in life; we didn't give any thought to the אבילות that engulfs us during these days. We all know that it is connected somehow to תלמידי רבי עקיבא.

This shiur deals with the following questions:

1. Why are מנהגי הספירה not mentioned at all in the גמרא, but only much later?

2. How did this catastrophe happen to the תלמידים of רבי עקיבא , the master of ואהבת לרעך כמוך?

There are important lessons for us to learn, mainly in the way we judge others within our society.

013 "How to be מוסר נפש and Remain Alive"

We have heard about the Jewish professor in Virginia Tech, who sacrificed his life to save his students. Many spoke about his מסירות נפש. Is the only way to be מוסר נפש by sacrificing our life? We sometimes use the term "ער האט מסירות נפש" for seemingly minor matters. Let's clarify this statement, and examine whether we can perform a living מסירות נפש of our own.
