  • Nitzavim-Vayelech נצבים וילך 2023 the Forever Bond
    Although Hashem already made a covenant with the Jewish people by Matan Torah, 40 years later, He makes another one, as they’re about to enter the land of Eretz Yisroel. The first time He made it just with their soul, and that was enough to sustain them, however, the second time it was also with their body. This was because they were about to embark on a new life, where they would have to deal with realities of this physical world. In addition, that day was Rosh Hashanah, a day that we commemorate two things; firstly, the creation of man which was the purpose of the world, and second, the creation of the world itself. Ultimately man has to work on, not just himself, but also finding G-dliness and goodness in the world itself.

  • Ki Tavo כי תבא 2023 the Key to Parnasah

    There are two parts to our “Parnasah“, our sustenance. The first is called “Geshamim” (rain), which represents the blessing of Hashem from above. The second is called, Parnasah (livelihood) which represents our participation and work. In the Gemara it states that even the key to Parnasah, our participation, comes from Hashem; because even with our participation, we should recognize that in actuality , everything is a blessing from Hashem, and that we only create the vessels to receive those blessings.

  • Ki Seitzei כי תצא 2023 Building a New Home

    When we build a new home, we must put a railing on the roof for protection. In our day-to-day life. This represents each one of us is commissioned to building a new reality around ourselves, something that was never there before to change ourselves, and those around us, in order to do this properly we must build a railing of protection around our haughtiness and our pride. It is only then that we will be able to grow properly, be healthy and to be able to influence others. לקו״ש כד-ב

  • Re’ea ראה 2023 Unlimited Giving

    There are two parts to giving Tzedakah. One is the physical action of helping and giving the poor, the other is the attitude behind it to give with an open mind and a open heart, both are referenced in this weeks Parsha in two different Psukim. In a deeper sense they reference two types of Jews one jew gives because Hashem will give him back, another gives with no motive only because he opened his mind and heart opening his soul that’s called unlimited giving.

  • Eikev עקב 2023 the Deepest Bond

    When our relationship with Hashem is in a way that we keep the ‘Eikev’ Mitzvahs, seemingly the less important Mitzvahs, with the same commitment and with the same passion as the ‘Rosh’ Mitzvahs, the more important Mitzvahs , that displays a very deep relationship with Hashem. The word Mitzvah is etymologically derived from the word tzavsa (connection). Therefore there is no difference between a seemingly big or small mitzvah; rather it is all about connecting and having a relationship with Hashem, one that is much deeper than understanding.Therefore, it makes no difference how big or small the Mitzvah is. This warrants the same response from Hashem; one where He takes care of us and protects us (although we are as ‘a sheep among 70 wolves’) in ways beyond logic.

  • Va’eschanan ואתחנן 2023 The Voice continues
    Describing the power of the voice (sounds)of Matan Torah, the Medrash says that the voice was so powerful that it had no echo.
    Normally sound travels until it hits an object that blocks it, and then it bounces back. However, at Matan Torah it was similar to the time of Moshiach where the physical and spiritual merge together, thus there was no physical item to block the words of Hashem. Rather,it absorbed it, and they became one.
    Being that Matan Torah was given to every individual ,we too have the power to take the holiness of Torah and have it absorb every part of our life.

  • Devarim דברים 2023 Unity versus Unity
    There was a unique power that the Jewish people possessed in order to be able to conquer the two kingdoms of Sichon and Og. Those kingdoms were extremely powerful nations. In addition, they had the power of unity.
    However, the power of unity that the Jewish people displayed was far greater than the unity of the kingdoms of Sichon and Og. Those kingdoms were comprised of individuals who united only for a common cause. However, the Jewish people are essentially one; creating a much greater power and thus able to overcome the mighty kingdoms of Sichon and Og.

  • Mas’ei מסע 2023 it’s all about the Journey
    Life is not just about the destinations, but is primarily about the Journey - where we don’t stay stuck in one place doing the same thing all the time, but rather are constantly growing in a major way. Even when we reach our destination, we know that ultimately we must move on. Even more than the journey itself, sometimes we are able to completely disconnect ourselves from all the past limitations, it is this tremendous leap foward that identifies a real journey. Life is ultimately one big journey, as is the entire Golus. This means that even the tough times are all part of the journey, until we reach the ultimate destination - the coming of the Moshiach

  • Pinchas פינחס 2023 Get Up and Lead
    It is a time of crisis or a dire situation. There are many people present who are doing nothing to assist . At such a time, don’t think to yourself that if the great, capable or smart individuals are doing nothing , then who am I to act?
    In this week’s Parsha we learn that in actuality, this may be the very reason why you’re in this situation and nobody else is doing anything; it is so that you are the one who should get up and lead. Sometimes there’s a powerful spark or energy within us that we’re not even aware of until we act and make the difference. We learn this from Pinchas, who stepped forward when the Jewish people were in a serious crisis. It was Pinchus who approached the Jewish leaders and inquired of them what should be done. No one acted. Although he was a simple person, he rose up, led and saved many. לקו״ש ב

  • Chukas חקת 2023 Eternal Life
    The Para Aduma was specifically connected to Moshe Rabbeinu. The ashes of his para was mixed into the other ashes and only he received the reasoning behind this mitzvah. The Chazal say that the Para Aduma forgives for the Eigel. Since the Eigel brought death to the world and the para removes the idea of death, it therefore purifies somebody who touched a dead person. Being that Moshe represents the idea of the eternal , therefore, it is he who has the power, through the Para Aduma, to remove the concept of death in this world. Since being connected to Hashem is true life, Moshe’s eternal bond with Hashem brought him eternal life and that idea to the world.
