Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi

The Appointment We Keep — Or Miss - Emor


Listen Later

 There are gifts we receive—and then there are gifts we miss. In this morning’s powerful class, we explore one of the most unsettling questions in our Avodat HaShem: how do the very days designed to bring us closest to HaShem—our Yamim Tovim—become empty, even burdensome? Drawing on a profound mashal from the Dubno Maggid, as presented by Rabbi Yissocher Frand, we uncover the painful transformation of מוֹעֲדֵי ה׳ into מוֹעֲדֵיכֶם, and what it reveals about how we approach sacred time. 

 Through vivid storytelling, timeless sources, and a striking real-life parallel, this
class challenges us to rethink what it means to “show up” on Yom Tov. From the
balance of חֶצְיוֹ לַה׳ וְחֶצְיוֹ לָכֶם
to the unforgettable story of Yosef Mokir Shabbat, we are reminded that the
difference between a holy day and a hollow one is not what’s on the table—but
whether we are truly present. A message that is as practical as it is
profound—and one we hope you will carry long after the class ends.
