Question: I’m finding it very difficult recently to sit through davening. Davening has become more of a routine to me, and minyan is something I “check off” from my many things to do in a day. How do i inject more meaning into davening? 

What is the significance of the birthday's of the Baal Shem Tov and the Alter Rebbe? What is the purpose of Chassidus?

Tanya shiurim delivered in Mevaseret by Rav Burg

Question: I’m married and often find myself really frustrated or almost turned off by an opinion my husband has or comment he makes. I feel like that is only really appropriate to have while dating and trying to see if someone is for you and that I shouldn’t still be doing that or getting so stuck on one thing he says or thinks.

Question:

1. Rebbe, is there really such  a thing of loving someone or doing something for someone else just because you want to give to them in the purest sense? I know that Ahava comes from the word Hav, which is give, but I think that according to psychology the only reason why we would give is because we get something back in return. 

2. Isn’t it the same in a marriage. It’s not just giving because if you would only give and your spouse does not give back then you would not want to stay with them. So then wouldn’t it be a codependent relationship in terms of giving and taking, and therefore one can say that the motives behind the giving are ultimately how your spouse treats you after you have put in the effort by giving to your spouse and making them happy? Obviously you want your spouse to be happy but is it just because you enjoy it when they are happy? Even if someone gives their life for someone else can’t you say it’s because they wouldn’t want to live without them. I know there is something more to love and giving but I according to psychology there might not be. Why wouldn’t psychology be correct?
