In this week's parsha, we have a Mitzvah to thank Hashem for the good in our lives. We also have a Mitzvah to realize all our challenges in life come from a loving Father. An exploration of how Rabbeinu Yona connects these two Mitzvos.

Have a wonderful Shabbos  

Found a beautiful idea in the Midrash Raba about why Moshe is buried in Chutz Laaretz and how it helps us in the current Galus. How it really is for our benefit, and a sign of the love Moshe had for the Jewish people.

Hope you enjoy, always appreciate any questions or feedback.

Have a great Shabbos.

In honor of the Simcha, wanted to share a vort on how we should react to others Simchas, and how we can bring more Bracha into our lives.

May we continue to share in Simchas.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

When we went to fight Midian, we sent 12,000 to fight, 12,000 to guard the supplies, and 12,000 to daven. Why did we need to bring 12,000 soldiers to daven on the battlefield, why couldn't they daven in shul? An idea from Rav Yechezkel Levenstein on one of the fundamentals of prayer.

Have a wonderful Shabbos

Chazal tells us people were critical of Pinchas for killing the Nasi of Shevet Shimon for his immoral behavior. With all the miracles that took place, how could they have been critical of Pinchas?

An approach from Rav Yechezkel Levenstein on the importance of analyzing and working on our Middos.

Have a good Shabbos

Balak was inspired by the Tznius of the tents of Yisrael, they caused him to say Ma Tovu. How could someone as brazenly immoral as Bilaam be impressed by Tznius?

Have a good Shabbos
