What happened to Moshe? Why was he yelling at the people?

What’s the deep connection between Moshe and Miriam?

Why was Korach killed in a spectacular way?

Honor of Hashem vs honor seeking

The Sotah’s double life. If only she would admit…Are we Sotahs in any way?

Hashem, open my eyes and reveal the wonders of Your Torah!

Kabalas Hatorah Nigleh and Nistar

Nissim Black joined us again to analyze his unreleased song “Near Me”. This song is incredible, written from the depths of Nissim’s soul. Read the lyrics and connect to the song in a deeper way:

There's so many times that I'VE called you/ you only ignore me/ I'M giving you life/ I don't wanna control you/ you move in the dark/ cuz I hid My light/ trust me I know the way better/ 'cause I designed it/ and I want to give you everything good/ and if you search ME hard you'll find ME/ true alignment/ I know you want better/ and everything ls MINE we'll share it together/ I'M here to protect you/ no matter the storm no matter the weather/ all that I ask/ that your living a life worth saving/ with all the advice that I gave you/ and remember it's ME who made you/ and that's major/ 

MY Child/ MY dear child/ I do it all for you/ Because I just want you near ME/ I'M calling can you hear Me/

My Child/ MY dear child/ I do it all for you/ Because I just want you near ME/ IM calling/ 

I know that you hate it/ when you feel alone and feeling forsaken/ you even blame it on ME/ but really its all your imaginations/ 'cause there ain't moment or time/ that I ain't sending a sign/ to notify you that I'M still right by you/ but you rather listen to lies/ then you push ME out of your mind/ and I'M still with you/ in  disgusting places/and even still then you refuse me/ but I'M patiently standing there waiting/ looking for some movement/ or for some gesture/  only for you to recognize that I never left you/ and I want what's best for you/and I know I'M what's best for you/ 

Chorus 

What will it hurt you know ME/ we'll deal with everything closely/ take it slow as you want/ MY doors will always be open/ if your coming to ME you're not loosing/ but only gaining/ all beginnings are difficult/ you'll never regret if you hang in/ please hang in/ you should never hold back/ and never let faith be an issue/ really the closer you come/ then the more faith that I give you/ dont be afraid of giving up anything/ just keep moving closer/ and you'll throw it away/ this world on your own/ and you'll never let go of ME/ 

MY Child/ MY dear child/ I do it all for you/ Because I just want you near ME/ I'M calling can you hear Me/

My Child/ MY dear child/ I do it all for you/ Because I just want you near ME/ IM calling out

Nissim Black joined the chabura to speak about his new song Lifted

We connect the zman we’re in and the difficulties we face to this amazing song from Nissim Black and Levi Robin

Here are the lyrics:

I've been down/ and I've been twisted/ oh Lord/ get me lifted/

So many battles on the home front/ I think im in need of back up/ every time I think I got it/ then I seem to stumble backwards/ many surprises when your rising/ the little things become so giant/ confusion takes a hold of me/ then I forget who I am/ but I dont forget who's I am/ I need restoration/

Hanging on for dear life/ looking for how I could escape here/ I've been endowed with great fear/ picking up pieces from my pieces/ I've been shattered many times/ and they wonder why I'm sleepless/ but please don't leave me speechless/ and may my prayers always reach there/ I can move mountains when I

speak to You/ no matter how far the jump I'll leap to you/ can't keep me from you/

I've been down/ and I've been twisted/ oh Lord/ get me lifted/ High above the stars/ where's there's no limit/ Oh Lord/ Get me Lifted/

The hardest thing to deal with/ is to move without feelins/ seeing signs on all sides/ but don't know what Your will is/ dont know what the real is/ feeling my backs against the wall/ seeing all of my mistakes and I desire to fix them all/ but without you its impossible/ from my insides I will call/ but then it don't even ring/ they all say how much you love me/ so then how could it be/ you'd let me destroy myself/ I need saving from me/ when they write it in my book use my tears as the ink/ so they can testify on me/ all I did to break free/ and to glorify your name/ i gave back what you gave me/ I'm falling down so can you lift me/

I've been down/ and I've been twisted/ oh Lord/ get me lifted/ High above the stars/ where's there's no limit/ Oh Lord/ Get me Lifted/

Can you pick me up/ and don't put me down/ can you lift me up/ without You I drown/

Can you pick me up/ and don't put me down/ can you lift me up/ without You I drown/

I've been down/ and I've been twisted/ oh Lord/ get me lifted/ High above the stars/ where's there's no limit/ Oh Lord/ Get me Lifted/

Aharon is still feeling the affects of his children’s deaths when he is told to perform the most complicated avodah in the Mishkan…

Why was Aharon HaKohen embarrassed?

Why does it seem that Moshe didn’t care about Aharon’s feelings?

Moshe Rabbeinu gave broken and downtrodden Jews a place to go and feel welcomed...that place became the Mishkan

Tonight we discuss another type of Mishkan that can be built

Why does the story of the eigel split the parshiyos of the Mishkan?

Why does the Torah have 4 parshiyos discussing the Mishkan and not 2?

We connect to the tragic story of אחר and learn a chiddush about teshuva
