Two dvar Torahs of Sfas Emes on Parsha Nitzavim and a true story to inspire us in our Rosh Hashanah Prayers. First Sfas Emes teaches about how we can achieve having Torah easily within our reach. The second is how we can turn around our lives even after going far away from where we want to be.

Being a person who keeps their word is so important. Based on The Tiferes Shlomo on Parsga Matos

Teaching on Parsha Pinchas. The Sfas Emes teaches that God's plan for us is revealed over time. We might want to forsake God, or even to act on God's behalf. And it's imperative that we examine our motivations. I am just upset because things didn't go my way? Am I genuinely concerned for others or only myself? Why should I be privileged to know the story of my life when no one else is?

Inspired and informed by Rabbi Nosson Chayim Leff Z"L, Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser, and others.

External and internal factors can impact our lives careers spiritual practice. Through using the example of Aaron The High Priest, the Sfas Emes teaches how to seek equanimity in life and Spirituality.

God desired to create the world. And Created within us a desire to connect with Him. But we get muddied in the complexity of the physical world and sometimes we forget that. Shabbos reminds us of our true spiritual roots and we can connect with God who is hidden in everything.

Somehow our body and soul have to live together and it creates an internal battle. The body and the soul both seek actualization.

Based on the Sfas Emes teachings on Shavuot 5651 (1891).

Toiling in Torah is both a necessity and a metaphor for travelers on the highway of life. It includes intellectual pursuit, searching, and mindful activity.

Sfas Emes and Rebbe Nachman teach us to see the holy fire of Torah and Godliness in everything. This insight originates in a discussion of the power of speech to inspire and destroy. We discuss self-image, spawning salmon, buying shoes, and how this all helps us see the Fire of Torah in everything.

Based on the Sfas Emes commentary on the Torah portion of Behar 5632, informed by the teachings of Rabbi Shlomo Besser Rabbi Noson Chayim Leff Z"L.
