Ahead of Z'man Matan Toraseinu, here is a workshop filled with beautiful, Torah-themed song options, both fast and slow, for Shabbos Mevarchim Sivan, Rosh Chodesh Sivan, and maybe even Shavuos itself (with demos of course).

▪︎ What is the Midah of Yesod, 'Foundation'? How do we apply it and rectify it?

▪︎How do we balance Resilience & Submission? What is the difference between the mediation of Tiferes and that of Yesod?

In Week 6 of the Sefirah Series, we'll attempt to address these questions and discuss the next 7 Kinyanei Torah (36-42).

A few minutes of Mussar and inspiration on Parshas Emor and Lag BaOmer.

This Shiur is dedicated to the Refuah of those injured in the tragic Meiron incident tonight as well as to the Ilui Neshamah of those who were killed in the incident.

What is the Avodah and 'Simchah' of Lag BaOmer? Why do we deserve to take a field day on Lag BaOmer? What are we celebrating? Why do we celebrate in the manner we do?

This Shiur is dedicated to the Refuah of those injured in the tragic Meiron incident tonight as well as to the Ilui Neshamah of those who were killed in the incident.

A panoramic view of Parshas Emor with a focus on the following questions:

● Most of Emor is devoted to the laws of Kohanim and the Moadim. What is the connection between the two?

● Why are the laws of the Menorah and Shulchan thrown into the Parsha, right after the Moadim?

● Why does Vayikra veer from its law format to present a story of the M'kaleil ('Curser') here at the end of Emor?

In honor of the upcoming Lag BaOmer and the Hillula of Rebbi Shimon Bar Yochai, let us attempt to understand the most famous piece of Zohar (Vayak'heil 206A), 'B'rich Shimeih' ('Blessed is the Name') which most of Klal Yisrael recites 4x weekly.

• Although it's well-known, how well-known is it really? Why do we recite it? And when we do, do we understand the meaning of its esoteric, Aramaic words?

▪︎What is the Midah of 'Hod' or 'majesty'? How do we apply and rectify ourselves in this area?

▪︎If Hod is the opposite of Netzach, and Netzach represents resilience, then does that mean Hod represents giving up? How is that a Midah commendable? Moreover, isn't 'giving in' the complete opposite of what Lag BaOmer is about?

▪︎Also, how does Hod shed light on the next 7 Kinyanei Torah of Pirkei Avos 6:6?

A few minutes of Mussar and inspiration for Parshas Emor, Pesach Sheini, Lag BaOmer, and every day.
