In Judaism speech is not merely a handle to convey ideas. Speech is the building blocks of creation. Pesach is the holiday that commemorates the freedom of speech from its exile in Egypt.

In this shiur, Rav Burg teaches us the difference between those who have a difficult time speaking and those who have a difficult time communicating.

Moshe was raised in the house of Pharoah as an Egyptian prince. On the other hand, he was the son of the Yocheved and Amram, the leaders of Am Yisrael. Moshe has a fundamental choice to make in his life. Who is he, Egytian or Jew?

In this shiur, Rav Bug expounds upon the value systems in our homes and the importance of nurture over nature.

Question: How much hishtadlus does one need to put in finding their bashert? What can make the “shidduch crisis” go away? What can we do as a community and what are ideas that could make the process of “waiting to be set up” easier? If it’s all up to HaShem, what does one do in terms of personal effort?

Sefer Bereishis ends with the death of Yosef HaTzaddik and his burial in Mitzrayim. The passuk immediately before speaks about how we will one day leave Golus. Why does the Torah choose to end the Sefer on such a low note?

In this shiur, Rav Burg teaches us about those people in our life who are always there for us no matter how far we fall. It is those people that give us the strength to carry on even in the darkest of times.
