  • Tzav צו 2023 How to Really Shine
    You can only really shine when you make someone else shine. The light of the menorah is compared to Torah, which has to be constant like Torah, a person might think just sitting and learning Torah by myself that’s enough to connect me to Hashem and I don’t have to deal with the rest of the world, or with other people,however, the light of the menorah can only be taken from somewhere else from the Mizbeach and only the one that’s on the outside because it is specifically through lighting up the outside world and helping other people that our Torah could really shine.

  • Vayikra ויקרא 2023 the Deepest Connection
    What is a Karbon? every Jew can connect with Hashem through Torah and Mitzvahs and when he does a sin, he sever the connection. It is through a Karbon that we reveal a deeper connection that is higher than Torah and Mitzvahs as being Hashem‘s children. Why is it that it’s specifically through a physical action of Karbonos we access such a deep relationship? It is being that through a physical action that might seem similar to anybody else as opposed to a specific behavior that is exclusively us, yet he choices our action ultimately represents the ultimate connection that he choices us. לקו״ש כב

  • Vayakhel-Pekudei Collectivism versus Individualism
    On the one hand we’re told that were part of a collective whole the Jewish people,yet on the other hand, we’re told that every person is a world for himself,which one is it and can they coexist? This weeks Parsha tells us just like building of the Mishkan, that a bunch of parts and vessels that came together to make one holy Mishkan for Hashem to dwell in, but yet every part of the Mishkan had their specific job and holiness, so to the Jewish people at the core we’re all one essence, sons of Hashem however, it expresses itself in many different ways, in the different ways we serve hashem,so in reality when we serve the collective whole we’re really contributing to our own individual service, and then, when we’re doing our own service in essence it’s all part of the collective whole. לקו״ש כ״א

  • Ki Sisa כי תשא 2023 a Jews Modeh Ani
    We wash our hands in the morning, purifying ourselves, preparing ourselves to Daven to Hashem just like the Kohen did in the times of the Bais Hamikdash, however in a deeper sense, we wash our hands to bring down purity, represented by the purity of a Jewish Modeh Ani in the morning, which is thanking Hashem, that although I gave you a tired, exhausted body you gave me back a whole new fresh body so I can serve you,so we wash your hands so we can bring this holiness and service of Hashem into action.

  • Purim פורים 2023 the Pintele Yid
    Haman’s decree to wipe out every single Jewish man woman and child was because he was rich and powerful with a big ego. He could not handle that Mordechai did not bow down to him, and he realized it wasn’t because Mordechai was such a big and powerful man and that’s why he’s not bowing down to him ,it’s because he had a Pintele Yid, that would never bow down to anything besides Hashem,and just by eliminating Mordechai wouldn’t help this problem,because every single Jew has this pintele yid , and the only way to deal with his ego would be to wipe them all out. It is when Mordechai met three Jewish children coming home from Yeshiva learning about Emunah that he knew that the Pintele yid is still alive and strong and a decree would be notified.

  • Terumah תרומה 2023 ‏ the Ultimate Home

    Hashem‘s desire to have a home in this world Bais Hamikdash, is expressed in three ways. Firstly, through learning His Torah, which is the foundation of everything,second is through Davening, bringing your mind and heart closer to him, and thirdly, through doing Mitzvahs where we transform the physical object to holiness, although the first two feels more holy, it is ultimately the third way where the physical and mundane is transformed into holiness that Gods desire is expressed the most perfect way.

  • Mishpatim משפטים 2023 the Jewish Servant

    The reason why the laws of a Jewish servant is the first mitzvah mentioned, after the giving of the Torah although we know that the Jewish people were very wealthy than, and nobody was selling themselves as servants, is because it represents in a spiritual sense what Matan Torah is about, refining and transforming the physical materialistic world, and that is what a Jewish servant represents somebody who has Jewish interest and Jewish desires, however still struggling a little bit with his animalistic soul and he works with himself to transform himself and those around him to be better people.

  • Yisro יתרו 2023 How to Judge
    There are two perspectives,Moshe’s perspective that when the people are around him, he uplifts them to his level where they see. Torah as if it’s real,and therefore there aren’t any small little personal issues, and so, Moshe could teach them Torah and deal with everything himself . Then there is Yisro’s perspective where he perceives people, not in Moshe’s world but in their own world, where there is issues to deal with, and litigation, and therefore you must set up a court system that will deal with all the petty issues and Moshe will only teach them Torah and deal with the big issues.

  • B’shalach בשלח 2023 it’s all about the Gold

    How is it at one of the greatest times by Krias Yam Suf, when even a toddler saw God, where they so busy collecting the gold and silver of the Egyptians and Moshe had to force them away. The answer is it is because they felt God‘s presence,they felt it so necessary to keep his mitzvah of cleaning out the Egyptian‘s from all their gold and silver, and bringing it to the Jewish people so they can elevate it,build a Bais Hamikdush and do good deeds with it, we learn from here that when we do a mitzvah, we must do it with everything we got,we got to give it our all to the extent when it’s time to do a different mitzvah, we literally have to tear ourselves a way to do the next thing,and then when we do the next thing we should do it with the same energy.

  • Bo בא 2023 Poor Man’s Bread
    There are two types of Jews. There is a Jew that is like “Poor man’s bread” which is Matzah made out of flour and water, which is tasteless, Representing someone who struggles with wanting to do the right thing and serving Hashem, and therefore it’s not always so enjoyable, then there is the Jew that is like “Rich mans bread” which is made with juice, which is more tasty, representing someone who doesn’t struggle and has a more enjoyable relationship with Hashem, although most of us go under the first category, we still could incorporate a little bit of the “Rich man’s bread” type of service into our day-to-day life. לקו״ש טז
