At Har Sinai the passuk references five kolos. The Gemara in Berachos connects this to the five kolos we reference in Sheva Berachos and says that those who want a kinyan in Torah ought to celebrate a bridesgroom.

In this shiur, Rav Burg explains the five dimensions of how Hashem created the world and how each dimension expresses a different aspect of our relationship with Hashem and others.

The parsha of Kabbalas HaTorah begins with the words "Vayishma Yisro." This indicates that the entirety of this parsha is encapsulated in these two words. What is the deeper meaning of listening? Who was Yisro? 

In this shiur, delivered in Yerushalayim at the first ever Nitzotzos event in Eretz Yisrael, Rav Burg expounds upon how there are two ways of engaging the world. As it is or as it will one day be. Journeying through several machloksim, we discover the distinction between those who hear and those who listen. 

Question: How should a girl with an outgoing personality balance the middah of tznius without suppressing or neglecting her natural personality? We know our speech is holy, how do we know when we are talking too much or not talking enough/suppressing what we have to say for tznius?

As Klal Yisrael is redeemed from Mitzrayim we walked through the sea on dry land. But if we are walking through dry land are we really in the sea? 

The Lubavitcher Rebbe explains that there are two types of people, those who dwell on the land and those who live in the sea.

In this shiur, Rav Burg teaches us that it is through our connection to Hashem and being enveloped in His world that we can develop a healthy ego and a truly unique persona.

Klal Yisrael finds themselves trapped between the oncoming Egyptian army and the banks of the Yam Suf. An argument ensues. What should we do? One camp says they will never take us alive. Another says let us surrender. Another argues that we should fight till the death. And yet another says let us pray to God. Moshe rejects all of these plans.

In life we often find ourselves "stuck" in difficult places. Do we give up? Lower our expectations? Fight till the death? Pray?

In this shiur that was based on a sicha from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rav Burg explains that when all hope seems lost, our avodah is just to put one foot in front of the other and just keep swimming. What appears to be a wall may be the miracle you were waiting for.

Celebrating those talmidim in Mevaseret who committed themselves to learning shnayim mikra vviechad targum, Rav Burg spoke at a siyum on the topic of the majesty of Torah and how learning Chumash can enhance a persons relationship with Hashem.

The last plague, the slaying of the Egyptian first born children, is unique in that there is a heavy emphasis on the timing of the plague. What is the inner significance of the fact that Makkas Bechoros takes place at exactly midnight?

In this shiur, Rav Burg explains several essential concepts. What is a Jew? What is our Jewish mission? How do we really know who we are? 

Question: As humans, we judge others, sometimes intentionally but often times unintentionally. When I think someone is not a nice person/ doing something bad- whether they are or not, it shouldn’t be something I’m judging them for, and I feel ashamed at myself for judging. How can I go about rectifying this? What is the first step in conquering this bad inclination?
