Nitzotzos: Thoughts to keep your spark alive episodes:

January 05, 2022 Parshas Bo / Pesach - How Did We Get Here?
What is the inner significance of dipping a group of hyssops into the blood of the Korban Pesach and spreading it on our door posts? How does this protect us from the Malach HaMaves? Somehow the Malach HaMaves skips over our homes because of this procedure and this is why the Yom Tov is called Pesach. But how does this name capture the essence of the Chag? In this shiur, Rav Burg addresses these questions and explains that we cannot leave the Mitzrayim's of our lives unless we know what brought us down to Mitzrayim to begin with.

December 08, 2021 Parshas Vayigash - All Of Life's A Circle (dedicated in memory of Gitel bas Zev Halevi)
After being told that Yosef is still alive, Yaakov’s spirit is revived when he sees the agalos, the wagons, that Yosef sent for Yaakov. But Yaakov does not travel to Mitzrayim in those agalos. The Torah tells us that Yaakov travels to Mitzrayim in the agalos that Pharaoh sent for him. Why does Pharaoh send down agalos if Yosef had sent agalos as well. Why is Yaakov’s spirit revived when he sees Yosefs wagons? If they are so inspiring then surely he should have gone to Mitzrayim in those agalos! In this inspiring shiur from Rav Burg we learn the true nature of exile and redemption and how to navigate the exiles we experience in our own life. Additionally, Rav Burg tells over the incredible story of Mrs. Isseroff z"l for whom this shiur is dedicated. May her memory be a blessing.

November 03, 2021 Parshas Toldos - Every Action Comes With A Feeling, Every Feeling Comes From A Need
The Torah tells us that Yitzchak loved Eisav because he was tricked into thinking that Eisav was a Tzaddik. However, we also know that Yitzchak was well aware of who Eisav truly was. What did Chazal really mean?
In this shiur, Rav Burg explains how we can parent our challenging children - rather than looking only at their actions we need to look at why they are behaving the way they are behaving. Only then can we truly give them what they need.

July 23, 2021 Parshas Vaeschanan - Hearing the Voice of God, Not the Echo
The passuk in this week's Parsha tells us that at the giving of the Torah the voice of God did not cease. The Medrash explains this to mean that when Hashem spoke there was no echo. Of all the miracles that God could have performed at Har Sinai, what is the significance of the fact that the voice of God did not echo? In this shiur, delivered at Mishmar on NCSY Kollel, Rav Burg explores the value of building a personal relationship with Hashem.

Kinnah 45, the final Kinnah that we say on Tisha B'Av is one of the most beautiful of all of the Kinnos as it is sung to a haunting and beautiful melody.
